The United States is gearing up to ring in the New Year 2019 with a new global aviation standard that would help combat terrorism by facilitating the collection of air travelers\u2019 records on a larger scale<\/strong>. The White House\u2019s demand for a new global aviation standard in order to avert all probabilities of terrorism has raised privacy concerns far and wide, since it seeks to expand the collection of airline passenger details.<\/p>\n

The counter-terrorism coordinator, Nathan Sales from the United States has requested the United Nations\u2019 aviation agency, ICAO to frame a new global aviation<\/a> standard by 2019<\/strong>. The move is intended to obligate more and more countries to collect air travelers\u2019 details like email addresses, credit card information and frequent flyer numbers, as reported by Reuters. Notably, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) has been urged to act upon the request, \u2018with all deliberate speed\u2019.<\/p>\n

\"global<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cTerrorists are not waiting, so we can\u2019t afford to wait either,\u201d Reuters quoted Nathan Sales saying<\/strong> at the International Civil Aviation Organization\u2019s high-level conference on global aviation security. The United Nations\u2019 aviation agency cannot exert its authority to bring rules upon foreign governments directly. But, it can wield power through its aviation security and safety principles. ICAO\u2019s security norms for international air transport are backed with domestic lawmaking by ICAO\u2019s 192 country members.<\/p>\n

Nathan Sales said that the US would not hesitate to provide countries with monetary and technical provisions in order to facilitate collection of airline passenger details.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Currently, a few countries collect PNRs, travel dates, itineraries and contact details of air travelers<\/strong>. The relevance of collecting and sharing airline passenger information has been questioned and debated on grounds of data security issues and privacy concerns, mostly in Europe. \u201cWe will comply with any ICAO mandate only if it syncs with new the data protection norms in Europe,\u201d said Henrik Hololei, Director General for Mobility and Transport at the European Commission.<\/p>\n

Since the early 1990s, the US government has been using PNRs. The federal agencies have deliberately used PNRs to bar militants from entering the US borders and clamp down on child trafficking rings<\/strong>, according to Nathan Sales. Airlines are required to share their passengers\u2019 reservation data with the US, and that too before departure of flights. The flight booking details of passengers traveling to, from, over and through the USA are shared with various federal agencies, including the Transportation Security Administration (TSA).<\/p>\n

\u201cOther than the US visa and immigration<\/span><\/a>, it is data breach that hit news headlines and popped in the streaming of news feeds on Facebook throughout the year 2018. The latest cases of data breach \u2013 one exposing 500 million guests of Marriott International\u2019s Starwood hotels worldwide and the other exposing 100 million users of the question-and-answer website Quora to personal information abuse risks \u2013 make it evident that data breach is a most worrying incidence in every sector, from banking to aviation, from e-commerce to social networking. Evidently, data security is a pressing need of the hour,\u201d commented the chief technology officer of IndianEagle.com<\/span><\/a>, a leading international air ticketing agency.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

With regard to passenger information security, Nathan Sales is of the opinion that the US government has taken impenetrable measures to ensure data protection and privacy<\/strong>, like an unblinking watch on government officers having access to PNR data of air travelers. Data privacy and security is a matter of the utmost importance for the US, according to Nathan Sales.<\/p>\n
