U.S. Wants Canadian Airlines To Disclose Passenger Info

Under the proposal, Canadian airlines would reportedly have to disclose each passenger's:

* Full name, as the name appears on his or her passport
* Date of birth
* Gender
* So-called "known traveller number" (if applicable). The number identifies the traveller as someone who the U.S. government has already screened and ruled is not a security threat.

Although it would not be required, Canadian carriers would reportedly be encouraged to transmit further details about passengers, including their itineraries, with a listing of their departure airport codes, airlines, departure/arrival times and arrival airport codes.

According to the Globe report, ATAC has until Oct. 22 to launch a formal objection to the proposal.
