In an interview on the Australian television network Channel Nine, the CEO of the national airline QantasAlan Joyce, was categorical.

A "vaccine passport" for flying
The company is looking into the possibility of requiring passengers to have a vaccination passport that would allow them to travel. This passport could appear in an electronic version. When checking in online, passengers should transfer this health document to the airline. This formality already exists for a traditional passport.
No official decision has yet been taken, but Alan Joyce has indicated that his teams are already working on this regulation with the Australian government.
