The Transportation Security Administration (TSA), a US government entity, has
announced the implementation of a new directive known as Secure Flight Programme.
Secure Flight was developed by the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and is
designed to enhance the security of commercial air travel.
|
|
Under the new Secure Flight policy, the TSA mandates that airlines collect specific information from passengers when
making reservations. The required information is known as Secure Flight Passenger Data (SFPD). American Airlines is
working closely with the TSA on Secure Flight and will comply with all government requirements ensuring the necessary
information is collected in all reservations and sent to the TSA in advance.
