The software that protects your borders and enables seamless travel journeys for eligible passengers.
Amadeus Passenger Screening is the software that secures your border, minimizes risks and eliminates threats.
This solution will help you to protect your air, sea and land borders, by analyzing API, PNR passenger data and other relevant data sources from travel operators including e-Visa, ETA and DTC data.
At Amadeus we believe that there is huge value in data and for many years we have been unlocking its potential.
The collection of API & PNR passenger data by governments is mandated by the United Nations Security Council resolutions.
With almost 5 billion airline passengers per year and many more travelling by sea and land, border authorities, customs, police and intelligence officers have a tough job screening all passengers.
However, many countries still have no effective systems for managing such data. Therefore UN Security Council Resolutions (UNSCR) 2178 (2014), 2396 (2017) and 2482 (2019) mandate all UN Member States to implement API and PNR data collection to detect threats and to improve international cooperation to tackle these threats jointly.
Amadeus Passenger Screening helps governments around the globe in order to comply with international standards and secure their borders in order to combat transnational organized crime and terrorism but also protect the victims of crime.
Interactive API (iAPI) provides real‑time approval to board by instantly connecting airline check‑in systems with government border authorities.
It ensures that every traveller receives an immediate OK‑to‑board or Do‑Not‑Board decision within seconds, enhancing security and preventing inadmissible passengers from flying.
Carriers benefit from these automated compliance checks in advance as these avoid costly returns. Besides the automated process, Amadeus Passenger Screening allows border authorities to manually send a Do-Not-Board decision for specifically targeted passengers.
