Advance Passenger Information means providing certain information to the authorities before passengers travel, such as passport details and, where necessary, contact information. This is being rolled out over year.

Travellers will be required to provide Advance Passenger Information for the following routes:

From 31 May 2009 - Saudi Arabia
From 2 June 2009 - Australia and Singapore
From 3 June 2009 - France, Gibraltar, Kuwait, and Mauritius
From 17 June 2009 - Italy, Luxembourg and Netherlands

This information is compulsory and is required for the purposes of ensuring aviation safety and security.

Below is a list of the information required:
> Full given names
> Surname
> Gender
> Nationality
> Date of birth
> Travel document number e.g. passport number
> Travel document expiry date
> Travel document country of issue

In order to minimise unnecessary delays at the airport, it is essential that all travellers provide the API prior to travelling to the airport - this can be done through your Statesman Travel consultant.
