Securing Travel Passenger information to enhance risk based security

U.N. Security Council Resolution 2178 requests all States to collect API

Calls upon Member States to require that airlines operating in their territories provide advance passenger information to the appropriate

national authorities in order to detect the departure from their territories, or attempted entry into or transit through their territories, by means of civil aircraft, of individuals designated by the Committee

established pursuant to resolutions 1267 (1999)and 1989 (2011)

Looking for prohibited items isn’t enough API used to spot individuals listed on watch lists They might potentially have bad intentions PNR used to spot patterns, broken flights, accompanying persons etc. Airlines, airports and governments should receive some level of information (iAPI is a tool)

Capacity building is needed

Passenger Name Record (PNR)

Advance Passenger Information (API)

As an alternative to legacy “batch style” API – many States are adopting interactive API (iAPI) as their preferred method of receiving passenger data

Legacy, or batch API is the simplest form of API to implement

Airlines can assist public

authorities by collecting API and

transmitting PNR data

But messaging standards must be followed: UN-EDIFACT PAXLST

MRZ data only

Single window

The implementation of iAPI and API programs by Member States is crucial

2018 ICAO Member States to implement API program

Lifting of Visa regimes to stimulate trade and tourism

According to UNWTO simply improving visa processes could generate over hundreds of billions of US$ in additional tourism receipts and create millions of jobs

An Electronic Travel System (ETS) is a tool to provide advanced passenger information

Linking ETS to iAPI to support States passenger pre-travel verification and assessment

ICAO Annex 9 provides

a definition of ETS

and a RP to link ETS to iAPI

Passenger process efficiency

Biometric recognition a game changer
