“”The airlines have the obligation to inspect those certificates. Well, what does that mean? It means that everyone has to has to go to the ticket counter, right, which a takes a long time, and is sort of terrible from a social distancing perspective, because you’re basically, in order to reduce risk, you’re telling people to show up at the airport and get in a long line, and hand pieces of paper to the checking agent to inspect. So part of the reason that the airlines are very keen on this model is they want to be able to let people do online check in, right where you can actually upload a digital copy of your test result or eventually vaccination record, have it digitally read and be able to authorize you to check in online, which again, means you don’t have to queue up at the airport,” said Paul Meyer, Commons Project Foundation CEO.
