What is Advanced Passenger Information (API) all about?
The collection of Advanced Passenger Information (API) is a requirement from specific countries, which involves collecting passenger information from those entering the country. Collecting API is a very simple process and when carried out at check-in involves passports being swiped through a special machine which collects the relevant data. Customers should not notice any difference at check-in, and contrary to media reports, delays are not anticipated as a result of this new process being implemented.
