JetBlue and CommonPass Begin Launch of Digital Health Pass with Boston Customers Bound For Aruba

In partnership with the government of Aruba and COVID testing companies Vault and XpresCheck, JetBlue and The Commons Project Foundation have launched the CommonPass platform. Through the platform, JetBlue customers traveling from Boston’s Logan International Airport to Aruba’s Queen Beatrix International Airport can now enter the nation using the CommonPass digital health pass.

The CommonPass platform enables travelers to scan their passports to verify that they meet Aruba’s entry requirements, allowing them to travel safely and easily.

“CommonPass and the CommonTrust Network provide passengers, airlines and governments with a trusted system to digitally verify that an international traveler meets entry requirements upon arrival,” said Paul Meyer, CEO, The Commons Project Foundation.

“Our registry of health data sources — information from labs, pharmacies, hospitals and health departments — is essential to giving the public the confidence to once again travel, attend events and enjoy activities they did prior to COVID-19.”

The first flight for eligible customers landed Tuesday in Aruba.

In the coming weeks, the airline and its partners plan to expand the use of CommonPass for customers traveling to Aruba from cities throughout JetBlue’s network.

Boston customers who choose to utilize JetBlue’s testing partners can streamline their arrival process in Aruba by downloading the CommonPass app in advance of their flight. Vault provides supervised at-home PCR tests, while XpresCheck offers in-person testing.

Upon arrival, CommonPass users will be granted access to dedicated CommonPass immigration lanes to start their vacation sooner. More testing facilities are expected to be added to the CommonPass platform in the near future.
