Statistics reveal that there is an continues increase in the volume of commercial air travelers from year to year as more destinations become more accessible and the frequency of flights increases and more airlines coming into passenger service. Countries are therefore looking to improve their risk management capabilities by providing border control agencies, including customs, immigration and law enforcement, with key information on air travelers in advance of their travel to or departure from the country. The ability by border control agencies to identify persons of concern in advance of their arrival or departure is considered significant in supporting a government’s commitment to ensuring the safety and security of its citizens. It is also a key component of any risk management program and can help facilitate travel for low-risk passengers. Control agencies now prefer a more selective approach based on intelligence analysis, behavioral patterns, risk management, and other efficient methods.
APIS: Advanced Passenger Information System
Air travel security has changed dramatically over the past decade. Overnight, Advance Passenger Information System (APIS) went from being a voluntary initiative in some countries to being a priority for many. The importance of APIS in particular, calls on states to require airlines operating in their territories provide advance passenger information to the appropriate national authorities to help identify individuals with links to terrorism, organized crime or other serious crimes and report on their movements.
