Uk’s Virgin Atlantic airline and International Air Transport Association (IATA) has decided to pilot the use of a digital travel pass or coronavirus vaccine passport in an iOS app on its London to Barbados route from April 16.
Barbados authorities agreed to accept the digital pass at its border, making it one of the first countries to not require paper documentation.
The vaccine passport was originally planned for March but will later roll out to Android and provide vaccinated travelers with faster check-ins.

According to Reuters, IATA Regional Vice President for Africa and the Middle East, Kamil Alawadhi said that the iOS version was expected to launch on April 15.
"But the application will only achieve its success once airlines, different countries, [and] airports adopt it," said Alawadhi. "A huge amount of airlines have requested to be on board."
