JetBlue & Aruba

 


JetBlue and the government of Aruba have partnered on a new digital health pass that will help travelers enter the Dutch Caribbean island more easily. 

The carrier launched the partnership this week on service from Boston to Aruba. 

So how does it work? 

Aruba requires all travelers to test negative within 72 hours of or upon arrival. 

JetBlue customers can use the carrier’s partner, Vault, for an at-home test or XpresCheck for in-person testing. 

Once they’ve downloaded the CommonPass app, they can collect their test results on the app; when they arrive in Aruba, they’ll get a dedicated CommonPass immigration lane where they just have to scan their passport. 

“CommonPass and the CommonTrust Network provide passengers, airlines and governments with a trusted system to digitally verify that an international traveler meets entry requirements upon arrival,” said Paul Meyer, CEO, The Commons Project Foundation. “Our registry of health data sources — information from labs, pharmacies, hospitals and health departments — is essential to giving the public the confidence to once again travel, attend events and enjoy activities they did prior to COVID-19.”

JetBlue has been working for several months with Vault, which offers at-home saliva tests for travelers.
