What Is Advance Passenger Information (API/iAPI)?

Advance Passenger Information (API) allows airlines to transmit passenger details to border authorities before a flight arrives or departs. When delivered interactively (iAPI), authorities can screen and respond in real time, preventing threats before they reach the border.

Why It Matters

API/iAPI systems enable governments to identify high-risk travelers, prevent entry of inadmissible passengers, and facilitate smoother arrivals for legitimate travelers.

For airlines, it means faster turnaround, fewer delays, and compliance with global aviation security standards.

How It Works

1. Airline collects passenger data during check-in.

2. Data is sent securely to immigration systems before departure.

3. Authorities assess passenger risk and approve or deny boarding.

This early screening process helps prevent security incidents and streamlines border operations.
