AirAsia Philippines supports ‘Green Lane’ for fully vaccinated individuals, calls for standardized vaccination verification

AirAsia supports the initiative of the Health Department in establishing a more stringent procedure in verifying the validity of the vaccine documents presented by fully vaccinated travelers who are doing intrazonal travel for tourism, business and other purposes.

The Department of Health (DOH)  has recently given Local Government Units (LGUs) the authority to determine travel requirements for entry into their jurisdictions.

AirAsia Philippines Spokesperson Steve Dailisan said, “AirAsia believes that the ‘green lane’ for fully vaccinated individuals will encourage more leisure travelers who have previously expressed concerns on varying requirements per destination. This will save them time and money in securing testing requirements.”
