THE International Air Transport Association (IATA) has released a new “Interactive COVID-19 Travel Regulations Map” which provides information on the latest entry restrictions country-by-country in real time.
The platform, which is freely accessible by the travel industry, airlines, airports and other industry stakeholders, is based on IATA’s Timatic database which airlines and other aviation partners use to securely manage the passenger document verification process.
Timatic is updated more than 200 times a day to provide accurate travel restriction information specific to the COVID-19 pandemic, based on traveller citizenship and country of residence.
“As the aviation industy prepares to safely restart, travellers will need to know which countries’ borders are open and what health restrictions exist,” said IATA’s Anish Chand.
“Travellers can rely on Timatic for comprehensive and accurate information on travel during the pandemic,” he added.
A recent survey commissioned by IATA found more than 80% of travellers were more concerned about potential quarantine restrictions than they were about actually contracting COVID-19 during travel.
The interactive world map can be viewed at iatatravelcentre.com.
