| Passenger Name Record (PNR) | Since 5 March 2003, airline companies whose aircraft arrive in and depart from the US, or fly over the US, have been obliged to provide US customs and border authorities with online access to the booking data record, the Passenger Name Record (PNR), which is saved for each passenger in the reservation systems used by the airline companies. The European Court of Justice has critizised the exchange of this data. Meanwhile, a new contract has been signed to overcome the critics. |
