The “Travel Pass IATA<\/strong>” is not without risks, as denounced by VISIONARI Non-Profit, an association for the promotion and dissemination of science and technology for social betterment.<\/p>\n

The Travel Pass IATA<\/strong> is a mobile application that will be operational starting next July and will contain passengers’ documents, but above all, important health information of travelers that will be shared with all participating airlines of IATA.<\/p>\n

The project, however, seems to use a decentralized structure, but it is not clear whether it is a simple distributed ledger or a blockchain or simply a request for consent by the passenger, according to VISIONARI.<\/p>\n
