Faced with a regulatory framework that is confusing to say the least, the business travel industry is organising itself to offer passengers a little visibility.

Already tested by the company since Junehe made a more official appearance on 17 July on flights departing from Paris to the Corsica and destinations OverseasSea. Its deployment on the Air France network should accelerate during the summer, but the next destinations concerned have not yet been revealed.
Air France allows its customers to start their journey with greater peace of mind, knowing that they have all the documents they need to board their flight.
Ready to Fly offers to check beforehand that passengers have complied with the various travel formalities required before taking their flight, for greater peace of mind. " With "Ready to Fly", Air France gives its customers the peace of mind of knowing that they have all the documents they need to board their flight. "Air France officials point to a " a smoother customer journey through the airportavoiding successive checks ". In practical terms, travellers will receive an e-mail a few days before their departure. The aim is to invite them to send the airline their documents relating to health checks, via an online platform. The airline then checks that the documents are in order, and sends a notification if the file is incomplete, so that the traveller can submit the missing elements online, or bring them to the airport on D-day. If all the required elements are up to date, the customer is informed, and his boarding pass bears the words "Ready to Fly", to speed up his journey to the airport.
