APIS COLLECTS DATA FROM WHICH GROUP?

APIS COLLECTS DATA FROM WHICH GROUP?

• A. Passengers
• B. Crew Members
• C. Ground Staff
• D. Cargo Shippers

Answer: (A)

APIS collects data from passengers because it is the system designed to transmit advance passenger information from those who are flying to border and security authorities before international travel. The data typically includes each passenger’s full name as it appears on the passport, date of birth, gender, nationality, passport details, and issuing country. This advance information helps immigration and customs screen the itinerary and assess potential risk. The other groups—crew members, ground staff, and cargo shippers—are not the primary sources of APIS data since APIS focuses on the travelers themselves, not the personnel or cargo involved in the flight.
