British Airways will launch its own digital “vaccine passport” in time for the return of international travel in May, when Britons are allowed to travel for their holidays, a media report said on Sunday.

 Those who have had two doses of the coronavirus vaccine will be asked to log their details in BA’s existing app. The airline will ask those who have had two doses of a coronavirus vaccine to log their vaccination details with their BA app, said a media report.

The new BA decision was announced at a time when the Scottish Labour Party revealed passengers are bypassing the Scottish government's hotel quarantine system by flying from other airports in Britain, the Xinhua news agency reported.

Holidays will not be allowed until May 17 at the earliest, the British government has said, but before that, on April 12, Britain will announce how and when non-essential travel into and out of the country can resume.

Sean Doyle, who was appointed BA's chief executive last October, called on Britain to work with other governments to allow vaccines and health apps to open up travel, after a year when minimal flying has left many airlines on life support.

"I think people who've been vaccinated should be able to travel without restriction. Those who have not been vaccinated should be able to travel with a negative test result," he said.
