US to get tough on passenger lists?
The US is reportedly considering implementing stricter security measures in an effort to increase security.
According to the BBC News website, US authorities could demand that foreign airlines provide complete passenger lists for all flights that cross its airspace – at present, the rule only applies to flights that land on US soil.
The BBC reports that the proposal has already caused concern among carriers that fly to and from Mexico and Canada, which say that they may now have to re-route services.
The proposal reportedly comes after a KLM flight was turned back to Amsterdam instead of being allowed to continue to Mexico City, because there were two passengers on board whose names appeared on a US “no-fly” list.
The BBC states that at least one of the carriers that would be affected by such a ruling, AeroMexico, is claiming that it would violate international aviation agreements.
