Iberia customers flying to the United States may now use the new VeriFLY app to save time and trouble at the airport.

The app verifies that the sworn statement and the Covid-19 negative test certificate required by US health authorities meet their standards.

The two-month pilot project using the VeriFLY app is initially for use by passengers flying from Spain to New York or Miami.

VeriFLY is designed to ensure that passengers have the health documentation they need to be admitted to countries of destination, at a time when requisites frequently change and vary from country to country.

Ignacio Tovar, Iberia transformation manager, said: “Now is the time to take advantage of all that technology offers us to simplify the travel experience and to fly with confidence.

“At Iberia we are working on the digitisation of the documents and tests required by each country, to make them easier to check and to give our customers a safe and contactless experience.”
