Vision-Box, Airside Partner on Health Passport App

Vision-Box this week announced a strategic partnership with Airside Mobile to create a mobile passport app that includes trusted health data and other information so that passengers can quickly self-process through security and other checkpoints during travel.

Integrating Airside’s Digital Identity & Health Passport App with Vision-Box’s identity management platform Orchestra will let travelers personalize the traveler experience and empower them by keeping them in control of their sensitive information with transparent consent protocols, the companies said.

Airside’s digital identity network enhances seamless travel. The Airside Digital Identity App provides a convenient single enrollment for travelers to add their credentials, including passports, driving licenses and COVID lab results to their mobile device using biometric source-verification. Travelers can then choose to share their credentials according to their specified time-bound conditions at a multitude of digital and physical authentication points.

“What I especially appreciate about our partnership with Vision-Box is that the traveler is at the center of the journey, where they ought to be, breezing through online and in-person check points without any long lines or crowding,” said Jessica Patel, Airside Mobile chief revenue officer. “Our private and secure technologies fit together naturally, providing peace-of-mind for travelers and the industry at an especially critical time when the health and safety of everyone is paramount.”

The collaboration will begin in the U.S. by leveraging Vision-Box’s footprint at over 100 travels hubs globally with Airside’s unparalleled experience in U.S. government-authorized customs and passport control and pioneering health passport capabilities.

“We are absolutely delighted to start the new year by announcing our strategic partnership with Airside, a very important ally for the company in expanding personalized experiences on the Orchestra platform,” said Jeff Lennon, VP of strategic sales and global partnerships at Vision-Box, which has its global headquarters in Carnaxide, Portugal. “Airside also shares our commitment to enhancing safe passenger travel journeys, and with this partnership we will be able to deliver world class privacy-by-design solutions to our clients across the world, starting with the USA.”
