Jayson Westbury
I AM writing this weekrsquos column from Geneva as I am attendingthe PAPGJC meeting which is the forum for global dialoguebetween IATA airlines and the travel agency community It is clear that one of the big issues for the industry is thedeadline that is just a few weeks away - for the new mandatoryrequirements implemented by the US Department of HomelandSecurity (DH) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA)known as Secure Flight Passenger Data (SFPD) You would have heard a lot about this and AFTA has sent manycommunications around along with all the airlines that fly to theUSA about what is required - but herersquos a quick recap Secure flight is the system that collects the data for watch listmatching of passengers travelling to from over or within the US It enables pre-screening of passenger information before arrivalat the departure airport and identifies known and suspectedterrorists through a watch list matching process with the aim ofenhancing the security of air travel in the US Effective 01 November 2010 airlines flying to and from the USare required to provide specific passenger data (SFPD) 72 hours inadvance the full name of the passenger date of birth and genderare mandatory and must be provided within the booking Travel agents therefore become responsible to ensure that thisdata is collected and there is great discussion about how this is anextra requirement upon the agent This data must be collected in100 of ticketed PNRs for transmission to the TSA 72 hours priorto flight departure and airlines will need everyonersquos help tomake sure that this is in place For bookings made within 72 hours of departure the data mustbe provided at the time of booking Remember also that passengers must also apply with ESTA priorto departure at wwwestacbpdhsgov if they are travelling underthe US Visa Waiver Program This is a big issue for the industry and you would know that thisis not NEW news but it is important to be aware of the deadlinefor the mandatory nature of this Secure Flight program which is01 November 2010 There is additional information about SecureFlight at wwwaftacomau You should also talk to your airlinecontacts if you are unsure about the requirements and if you needmore specific assistance The USA will impose substantial fines upon noncompliant airlines and passengers may be seriouslyinconvenienced and possibly denied entry - so this isone of those things in which travel agents can reallydemonstrate their value to the client

I AM writing this weekrsquos column from Geneva as I am attendingthe PAPGJC meeting which is the forum for global dialoguebetween IATA airlines and the travel agency community It is clear that one of the big issues for the industry is thedeadline that is just a few weeks away - for the new mandatoryrequirements implemented by the US Department of HomelandSecurity (DH) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA)known as Secure Flight Passenger Data (SFPD) You would have heard a lot about this and AFTA has sent manycommunications around along with all the airlines that fly to theUSA about what is required - but herersquos a quick recap Secure flight is the system that collects the data for watch listmatching of passengers travelling to from over or within the US It enables pre-screening of passenger information before arrivalat the departure airport and identifies known and suspectedterrorists through a watch list matching process with the aim ofenhancing the security of air travel in the US Effective 01 November 2010 airlines flying to and from the USare required to provide specific passenger data (SFPD) 72 hours inadvance the full name of the passenger date of birth and genderare mandatory and must be provided within the booking Travel agents therefore become responsible to ensure that thisdata is collected and there is great discussion about how this is anextra requirement upon the agent This data must be collected in100 of ticketed PNRs for transmission to the TSA 72 hours priorto flight departure and airlines will need everyonersquos help tomake sure that this is in place For bookings made within 72 hours of departure the data mustbe provided at the time of booking Remember also that passengers must also apply with ESTA priorto departure at wwwestacbpdhsgov if they are travelling underthe US Visa Waiver Program This is a big issue for the industry and you would know that thisis not NEW news but it is important to be aware of the deadlinefor the mandatory nature of this Secure Flight program which is01 November 2010 There is additional information about SecureFlight at wwwaftacomau You should also talk to your airlinecontacts if you are unsure about the requirements and if you needmore specific assistance The USA will impose substantial fines upon noncompliant airlines and passengers may be seriouslyinconvenienced and possibly denied entry - so this isone of those things in which travel agents can reallydemonstrate their value to the client

AFTA UPDATEthe latest insights from AFTArsquos Chief Executive
Jayson Westbury
I AM writing this weekrsquos column from Geneva as I am attendingthe PAPGJC meeting which is the forum for global dialoguebetween IATA airlines and the travel agency community It is clear that one of the big issues for the industry is thedeadline that is just a few weeks away - for the new mandatoryrequirements implemented by the US Department of HomelandSecurity (DH) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA)known as Secure Flight Passenger Data (SFPD) You would have heard a lot about this and AFTA has sent manycommunications around along with all the airlines that fly to theUSA about what is required - but herersquos a quick recap Secure flight is the system that collects the data for watch listmatching of passengers travelling to from over or within the US It enables pre-screening of passenger information before arrivalat the departure airport and identifies known and suspectedterrorists through a watch list matching process with the aim ofenhancing the security of air travel in the US Effective 01 November 2010 airlines flying to and from the USare required to provide specific passenger data (SFPD) 72 hours inadvance the full name of the passenger date of birth and genderare mandatory and must be provided within the booking Travel agents therefore become responsible to ensure that thisdata is collected and there is great discussion about how this is anextra requirement upon the agent This data must be collected in100 of ticketed PNRs for transmission to the TSA 72 hours priorto flight departure and airlines will need everyonersquos help tomake sure that this is in place For bookings made within 72 hours of departure the data mustbe provided at the time of booking Remember also that passengers must also apply with ESTA priorto departure at wwwestacbpdhsgov if they are travelling underthe US Visa Waiver Program This is a big issue for the industry and you would know that thisis not NEW news but it is important to be aware of the deadlinefor the mandatory nature of this Secure Flight program which is01 November 2010 There is additional information about SecureFlight at wwwaftacomau You should also talk to your airlinecontacts if you are unsure about the requirements and if you needmore specific assistance The USA will impose substantial fines upon noncompliant airlines and passengers may be seriouslyinconvenienced and possibly denied entry - so this isone of those things in which travel agents can reallydemonstrate their value to the client

AFTA UPDATEthe latest insights from AFTArsquos Chief Executive
Jayson Westbury
I AM writing this weekrsquos column from Geneva as I am attendingthe PAPGJC meeting which is the forum for global dialoguebetween IATA airlines and the travel agency community It is clear that one of the big issues for the industry is thedeadline that is just a few weeks away - for the new mandatoryrequirements implemented by the US Department of HomelandSecurity (DH) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA)known as Secure Flight Passenger Data (SFPD) You would have heard a lot about this and AFTA has sent manycommunications around along with all the airlines that fly to theUSA about what is required - but herersquos a quick recap Secure flight is the system that collects the data for watch listmatching of passengers travelling to from over or within the US It enables pre-screening of passenger information before arrivalat the departure airport and identifies known and suspectedterrorists through a watch list matching process with the aim ofenhancing the security of air travel in the US Effective 01 November 2010 airlines flying to and from the USare required to provide specific passenger data (SFPD) 72 hours inadvance the full name of the passenger date of birth and genderare mandatory and must be provided within the booking Travel agents therefore become responsible to ensure that thisdata is collected and there is great discussion about how this is anextra requirement upon the agent This data must be collected in100 of ticketed PNRs for transmission to the TSA 72 hours priorto flight departure and airlines will need everyonersquos help tomake sure that this is in place For bookings made within 72 hours of departure the data mustbe provided at the time of booking Remember also that passengers must also apply with ESTA priorto departure at wwwestacbpdhsgov if they are travelling underthe US Visa Waiver Program This is a big issue for the industry and you would know that thisis not NEW news but it is important to be aware of the deadlinefor the mandatory nature of this Secure Flight program which is01 November 2010 There is additional information about SecureFlight at wwwaftacomau You should also talk to your airlinecontacts if you are unsure about the requirements and if you needmore specific assistance The USA will impose substantial fines upon noncompliant airlines and passengers may be seriouslyinconvenienced and possibly denied entry - so this isone of those things in which travel agents can reallydemonstrate their value to the client
