American Airlines is the first American airline to introduce an easy way to provide the results of a negative coronavirus (COVID-19) test and other comprehensive documents required for international travel to the United States. The VeriFLY app, a mobile health passport that helps customers understand and verify their travel requirements, will be available to travelers starting Saturday, January 23, for travel from all international destinations. American is expanding access to the app in support of the U.S. government’s requirement that all passengers over the age of two traveling to the United States from any international location test negative for COVID-19 within three calendar days of departure.
American is the first US airline to introduce a health passport for inbound travel to the United States from all international destinations.

«We are expanding our work with VeriFLY to rapidly evolve the use of the application and make international travel easier for our customers,» said Julie Rath, Vice President of Customer Experience at American. «We support the implementation of a global program to require COVID-19 testing for travelers to the United States, and we want to do everything we can to make travel a seamless experience for customers.» We have received positive feedback on the app so far and we hope that more customers will have the opportunity to use it. «
Customers can now use VeriFLY to streamline travel from the United States to multiple countries, including Jamaica, Chile, Colombia, El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras. To date, thousands of American Airlines customers have traveled using the app.
