Introduction to Blockchain and Airport Operations in a COVID-19 Environment
In the airport industry, potential applications for blockchain include security and
identification, flight data management, safety and maintenance, baggage and cargo
tracking, regulatory compliance, and more. Promising blockchain applications specific to
COVID-19 include passenger health verification and contact tracing, facilitating a
contactless passenger experience, and tracking the movement of healthcare supplies and
pharmaceuticals (including vaccines) from origin to final destination.
