Etihad Airways has extended its 'Verified To Fly' initiative, enabling passengers to validate their COVID-19 travel documents before arriving at the airport, to routes across its global network.

Verified travellers enjoy fast track check-in at the airport through the dedicated Verified to Fly desk for a quicker experience.

Passengers will be sharing their data only with the airline, with no third-party involvement.

Launched in June, the service is now available for the vast majority of Etihad flights - passengers sign-up by visiting the "Manage my Booking" section and submitting their travel documents.

Guests will receive confirmation once their documents have been approved in line with government requirements.

"Removing guess work from the process, guests value the assurance that when they arrive at the airport, they have already met all COVID-19 travel requirements," said John Wright, Vice President Global Airports and Network Operations at Etihad Airways.
