Official publication has been made of Regulation (EU) 2025/13, amending Regulation (EU) 2019/818.

Advance Passenger Information (API) data includes passenger and flight information but excludes biometric data. The regulation applies to flights involving the EU, including intra-EU and extra-EU flights; domestic flights within a single Member State are excluded.
A central router, operated by the European Agency for the Operational Management of Large-Scale IT Systems (eu-LISA), will serve as a secure, efficient conduit for API data transmission between air carriers and Passenger Information Units (PIUs) in Member States.

This regulation strengthens cooperation among law enforcement agencies, enhances internal security, and ensures a balanced approach to privacy and safety concerns.
