Synopsis: On January 18, Singapore airlines announced that all staff (including pilots, gate staff, hostesses, and any staff who may have contacts with the public) have been provided with Singapore government’s free vaccines against Covid-19. Singapore airlines might become the first airline with all staff vaccinated in the world. Currently, Singapore airlines have established a new process based on the TPI framework to verify the health condition of passengers. This service will first be applied to the flights from Kuala Lumpur or Jakarta to Singapore, and then be expanded to other parts of Singapore airlines’ flight network. It is also planned to be integrated into Singapore airlines’ APP in 2021. Emirates Airlines and Etihad Airways also have plans on providing vaccines to their staff and exploring the mobile passport APP developed by IATA.
