New EU Passenger Screening Requirements Start October 6
Flight support group Universal Weather and Aviation is advising aircraft operators to register now

Aircraft operators flying into the European Union (EU) will have to contend with the new EU-LISA agency’s passenger screening process starting on October 6. The new portal for verifying the visa status of travelers entering the EU places more of the administrative burden for screening responsibilities and manually checking passports on operators. Flight support group Universal Weather and Aviation is urging aircraft operators to register an account now for EU-LISA.

According to Universal, the EU notice issued on Feb. 17, 2022, was not widely circulated. In advice issued this week, the company expressed concern that many business aircraft operators may not be aware of the requirements and their specific obligations. “We strongly advise you not to wait until the last minute to comply with this regulation,” the company said. “EU-LISA will be bombarded with submissions as we approach the deadline.”
