APIS (Advanced Passenger Information System)

APIS is an automated system capable of performing database queries on air passengers traveling to the United States from a foreign country. U.S. Customs, in cooperation with the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) and the airline industry, initiated development of APIS to collect biographical information from air passengers prior to departure.

Every air carrier, foreign and domestic, operating a passenger flight in foreign air transportation flying to the United States must electronically transmit to United States Customs a passenger and crew manifest containing certain passenger information in advance of arrival.

SFPD (Secure Flight Passenger Data)

Under the Secure Flight Final Rule, TSA requires Miami Air to collect and transmit the Secure Flight Passenger Data to TSA.

Miami Air is required to submit passenger information no later than 72 hours prior to departure time.
