The International Air Transport Association (IATA) and Star Alliance have agreed to implement ‘Timatic AutoCheck’ for all 26 Star Alliance member airlines.
This tool allows for the automation of travel document verification, providing tailored instructions for travelers. It is expected to enhance operational efficiency and significantly improve the airport experience for travelers, with an annual projection of verifying over 340 million travel documents.
According to an IATA survey, 36% of travelers have reconsidered their travel plans due to entry requirements. In cases where a visa is necessary, 66% of travelers prefer to obtain it online in advance, while 20% would opt for embassies or consulates. Additionally, 87% of travelers are willing to share entry information to expedite airport procedures.
‘Timatic AutoCheck’ is a tool that verifies travel documents based on various information sources including governments, airlines, and airports, and can easily integrate with reservation and departure management systems, as well as travel agencies.
