Management of the personal data for passengers flying to USA and UK
APIS , ESTA & UK borders cerfications

TopwareAir Suite, according to the new anti-terrorism regulations and to the visa regulations for the United States and United Kingdom, has been certificated respectively by the U.S. CBP (Customs and Border Protection) and by the UK Border Agency, to send the Pre –Departure Passenger Lists in order to control all persons travelling to the country or who may be in transit.
The United States’ control system is named APIS, Pre-Departure messaging system and ESTA Electronic System for Travel Authorisation, the first one has already become mandatory for flights towards USA and is ruled by the Pre-Departure Final Rule in force since August 23rd 2007, instead ESTA started January 20th 2010.
Maxxcom released APIS messaging functionalities on TopwareAir Suite in February 2009 with an additional package in its CRS: TopFrontier. UK Borders certification has been released in march 2010 as an integrated part of TopFrontier. At the moment other States, Italy included are developing their own regulations regarding the entrance in their national territories following the example of USA and UK.

Through these significant improvements, passengers booking on the websites of Maxxcom’s clients will have the certainty of being in possession of the minimal requirements to be admitted in the USA and UK without the risk of being deported or have the entrance denied.

Recovery of the required data during the reservation process and automatic dispatch according to the rule 72 h before the departure for USA travellers and 42 for UK travellers.

TopFrontier may manage and collect other data during the booking process depending on the carrier’s needs and the regulations in force.
