The Australian Border Force recently announced an update to their digital Incoming Passenger Card (IPC), with a pilot programme for passengers travelling inbound to Sydney Airport from New Zealand on Qantas Airways-operated flights.

Second Wave of Pilot Test: Sydney Airport

The IPC pilot test first happened back in October 2024 at Brisbane Airport, as the Australian Border Force is taking steps to make the biosecurity and border controls smoother in the airports. The new flights included in the programme are QF144 from Auckland and QF122 from Queenstown, both operated by Qantas Airways, inbound to Sydney Airport.

According to the Border Force, passengers will be able to complete the digital Incoming Passenger Card (IPC) on the Qantas app before their trip.

ABF Commissioner Gav Reynolds mentioned that this is an act for boosting efficiency:

“A significant amount of collaborative work between industry and government, has gone into this pilot program. It is now entering the next phase as we continue to enhance the passenger experience, creating a seamless travel capability.”

More than 70,000 passengers have used the digital IPC since it was first implemented in Brisbane back in 2024.
