Flydubai has partnered with the contact tracing app Alhosn to help passengers with digital verification of COVID-19 medical records.

Citizens, residents and visitors can use the app during check-in without having to present a printed copy of their negative PCR test report.

The service is currently available to flydubai passengers departing from Dubai International's (DXB) Terminal 2, with plans to integrate the service for the airline's flights departing from Terminal 3 in subsequent phases.

"We would like to thank Alhosn for their partnership and support in implementing this digital verification facility and we are pleased to become the first airline to offer this service to the benefit of our passengers," said Hamad Obaidalla, Chief Commercial Officer at flydubai.

Alhosn is the official COVID-19 results app for the UAE and provides quick access to PCR test results and vaccination information.
