Airlines required to gather further information on passengers

The government announced that airlines for both commercial and non commercial flights will be required to deliver further information of its passengers to the National Migrations Office, the AFIP tax bureau, Airport Police and Civil Aviation National Administration (ANAC).

AFIP and Airport Police joint resolution 3667 establishes that in 180 days from now, airlines will have to deliver more information, organized in 31 categories, of each registered passenger.

The document argues that the new legal framework will enable the government to have “unique, updated real-time information to optimize control and supervision processes, simplify customs, migration and airport security procedures.”

The government said that the information will be used in the fight against “drug trafficking, international terrorism, human trafficking and illegal migration.”

The resolution warns that if airlines fail to deliver the information in time and manner, they will be liable to “judicial or summary actions.”
