Global APIS for airlines
Global APIS – Airlines
Global APIS enables airlines to submit accurate passenger data to border authorities worldwide.
It standardises APIS messages, validates data before submission, and reduces rejections, fines, and manual rework.
The APIS compliance challenge
Governments require carriers to submit passenger and passport data to border agencies before departure. Requirements vary by country, with different formats, validation rules, and deadlines.
For charter, VIP, ad hoc, and general aviation operators without a certified DCS or reservation system, manual processes are time consuming, prone to error, and increase the risk of fines.
