The Transportation Security Administration (TSA), a US government entity, has
announced the implementation of a new directive known as Secure Flight Program.
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.
