New York’s Albany International Airport is collaborating with GE (General Electric) in digitizing the airport’s operations to make the air travel experience safer. To begin the process, Albany International Airport has implemented GE Aviation’s blockchain Wellness Trace App, which is used by the airport to track Covid-19 cleaning protocols.
The app launched by GE in late June in partnership with TE-FOOD and Eurofins provides a platform for airports and airlines to track Covid-19 screening for passengers and employees, and set protocols for tracking the cleaning of the airport or aircraft. Albany Airport is its first customer with the initial focus on the airport cleanliness aspect.
