EU To Share Airline Passenger Data

Passenger Name Record System First Proposed In 2007

The European Union will share airline passenger information among member states for the "prevention, detection, and prosecution" of terrorist offences and other serious crimes.

First proposed in 2007, the Passenger Name Record system (PNR) would require airlines to provide passenger data for flights originating and arriving in EU member countries. Member states would be required to establish a Passenger Information Unit to handle the data.

Buying Business Travel reports that the PNR would allow, but not require, member states to track passenger data for intra-EU flights.

"The compromise agreed today will enable the EU to set up an effective PNR system which fully respects fundamental rights and freedoms," said Luxembourg Interior Minister Etienne Scheider. "After so many years of debate, we have finally reached a deal."

The U.K. and Ireland have agreed to participate in the directive, but Denmark has opted out of the PNR, according to the report.
