Use of Passenger Name Record (EU PNR) data

This procedure establishes the rules for the transfer and processing of Passenger Name Record (PNR) data from air carriers to EU member states. The goal is to strengthen the fight against terrorism and serious international crime by allowing authorities to analyze travel patterns and identify high-risk passengers.

This affects international air travelers and airlines. It introduces strict data protection safeguards to ensure that personal information is handled securely and only used for legitimate security purposes.
