Applying blockchain technology for safe airline travel and to
restore passenger confidence
GE Aviation is offering a new health credential application,
Health Application ID, for the aviation industry to address
COVID-19 related safety concerns. The solution focuses on three
important areas:
- Employee Control: screening workers to facilitate a safe return
to the workplace
- Passenger Control: screening passengers for responsible and
safe aircraft occupancy
- Object Control: clearing objects on aircraft as disinfected to
improve customer trust and confidence
The solution, enabled by Microsoft Azure, is available now and
demonstrations are underway with airlines, airports and industry
groups.
“This application addresses an urgent need in our industry to
help ensure airline and airport workers have been screened for
COVID-19 and that their fellow passengers have been checked,” said
Andrew Coleman, chief commercial officer of GE Aviation’s Digital
Group. “We need to do everything we can to instill trust and
confidence in the traveling public and get the world back to work
and flying again”.
The solution enables airlines, airports and related
transportation operation areas to set test result protocols and
check the compliance to new COVID-19 medical screening for
employees and passengers. Personal information and test results are
protected by encryption and access is solely controlled by
designated airline employees and passengers. Additionally, the
offering is flexible and medical-test agnostic, which enables
airlines to adapt as regulation and science evolves. By providing
this application to airlines, more people can start to fly, and the
industry can start to rebuild.
This application uses the Microsoft Azure Blockchain Service and
related technologies that create a protocol to embed passenger
identity information, ticket information, and medical screening
results into the boarding process in a highly secure
environment.
"We were able to quickly make this available with the help of
great partners and our willingness to work across industries to
apply best practices to this problem,” said David Havera, GM of GE
Aviation’s blockchain solutions. “We are combining GE Aviation’s
data and analytics domain expertise with the scale and secure
capabilities of Microsoft Azure along with TE-FOOD’s blockchain
technology and best practices from the food industry to create a
product that brings the best scalable solution to the aviation
industry. This offering gives control to the passengers by
allowing them to view the cleaning history of the aircraft.
Airlines gain more control by being able to record events as they
occur, which enables pandemic containment and auditable
records.”
Perhaps equally as innovative as the offering itself is how GE
launched it. “Our digital group has used the concept of revenue
share partners from our parent aviation company. This allows us to
share the risk/reward with partners and take advantage of best
practices across industries,” said Scott Ridge, the global head of
Partners and Alliances. “This is an outcome of a partner-enabled
incubation model. Collaboration is the key to getting the world
started up again. Over the coming months this model will continue
to strengthen this offering by using the full power of GE and
additional partners.”
