Airlines, airports plot reopening

AUSTRALIA’S domestic airlines and airports have laid out a joint approach to help travellers know what to expect as state borders reopen in the coming months.

With varying roadmaps and restrictions, the unified approach will see the industry provide links to the latest state travel info on airline and airport websites.

Customers may be sent SMS and email reminders pre-travel of entry requirements and permits, and will be asked to declare eligibility for travel at check-in.

Declaration of vaccination status may also be required in compliance with Government travel requirements, while QR codes will be mandatory for lounge access.
