Air France: Will offer its customers the integration of their health data in the air ticket

Passengers will receive, a few days before the flight, an email asking them to submit “their health documents via an online platform”, the airline explained in a statement, four days after announcing the extension of the health certificate requirement in transport long distances in France, reports APE.

“These documents will be checked and, if valid, a confirmation will be sent to the customer. The boarding passes that will be issued later will carry the message “Ready to Fly”, which will be quickly distinguished from the ground attendants at the airport before the flight, “the company said in a statement. “This service, which is offered free of charge and will be optional, facilitates the flow of passengers to the airport by avoiding successive checks.”
