What data other than the SFPD is sent by the airlines to TSA pursuant to Secure Flight?
A substantial amount of commercial airline data on each passenger’s travel is also transmitted to the TSA as part of the SFPD. This commercial data includes itinerary information which itself includes the departure airport code; aircraft operator; departure date; departure time; arrival date; scheduled arrival time; arrival airport code; flight number; and operating carrier. Other information transmitted by the airline to the TSA includes the reservation control number; record sequence number; record type; passenger update indicator; traveler reference number; and the passenger’s passport information if collected by the airline or already known to the airline (from a previous flight or frequent flyer profile, for example).
