The good news is more and more international cooperation is being implemented to address this. ICAO and IATA - representing the government and business grouping stakeholders - are cooperating to help their respective clients to help implement the facilitation of air transport. Their works include awareness as well as regulation/standard setting. At the regional level, the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) has been promoting its Travel Facilitation Initiative (TFI). TFI includes key components such as: API/PNR, APEC Business Travel Card, Trusted Traveler Program, and Airport Partnership Program. These and other international works will provide countries/jurisdictions and business with tools to make well-informed decisions. After all, we all share the same interests in facilitating air transportation to put the economic growth at full throttle.
