Qantas digital arrival card trial expands to Sydney
Qantas has expanded its digital inbound passenger card pilot program to Sydney Airport.
Inbound passengers from select flights from Auckland and Queenstown can do their declaration digitally through the Qantas app before flying.
It is part of a trial partnership with Qantas and the Australian Border Force.
“Every international service brings in $130 million in annual economic benefit and supports 1200 full time jobs, so making our border processes more efficient is an important investment,” says Sydney Airport CEO Scott Charlton
The pilot scheme is part of the Trans-Tasman Seamless Travel Group, which is working to streamline contactless travel between Australia and New Zealand.
Brisbane Airport has been part of the trial on selected flights from New Zealand for several months.
“Extending the trial to Australia’s busiest airport means every day, hundreds more passengers will have a more seamless travel experience,” said Federal Home Affairs and Immigration Minister Tony Burke.
