  • Runway to Recovery
    Runway to Recovery The United States Framework for Airlines and Airports to Mitigate the Public Health Risks of Coronavirus Guidance Jointly Issued by the U.S. Departments of Transportation, Homeland Security, and Health and Human Services Version 1.1 | December 2020 CONTENTS – 03 Overview 07 Principles 09 Air Transportation Stakeholder Roles and Responsibilities 11 A Risk-Based Approach for COVID-19 Outbreak Mitigation Planning 14 Public Health Risk Mitigation in the Passenger Air Transportation System 49 Future Areas of Research and Evaluation for Public Health Risk Mitigations 51 Implementation Challenges Specific to International Travel 53 Appendix A: Key Partners and Decision-Makers OVERVIEW A safe, secure, efficient, and resilient air transportation system is essential to our Nation’s physical, economic, and social health. The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) public health emergency has demonstrated that protecting public health in the air transportation system is just as critical as aviation safety and security to the confidence of the flying public. Government, aviation, and public health leaders have been working together—and must continue to do so—to meaningfully reduce the public health risk and restore passenger, aviation workforce (including aircrew), and public confidence in air travel. The U.S. Government continues to assess the evolving situation and the effectiveness of actions and recommendations implemented to date. This updated guidance reflects this continual assessment and updated information. Although there are some updates and adjustments throughout, the key additions and changes in this document include new information on: » Passenger and Aviation Workforce Education » Contact Tracing » Mask Use, specifically the need to accommodate those who cannot wear masks » Passenger Testing This document provides the U.S.

  • Travel Facilitation, Tourism and Growth
    OECD Tourism Trends and Policies 2014 © OECD 2014 PART I Chapter 2 Travel facilitation, tourism and growth This chapter considers the impact on travel and tourism of visa and entry policies which control the movement of people across national borders. It is based on recent workbytheOECDTourismCommitteeanddrawsoncasestudymaterialfrom OECD and partner countries. The chapter considers the potential for smarter approaches to support tourism and economic growth, while simultaneously maintaining the integrity and security of national borders. The issues and challenges policy makers face in developing and implementing policy in this area are outlined. The different approaches governments have adopted, and their impacts, are also highlighted. A number of policy considerations are then discussed, to inform policy making and contribute to the current debate on travel facilitation. The statistical data for Israel are supplied by and under the responsibility of the relevant Israeli authorities. The use of such data by the OECD is without prejudice to the status of the Golan Heights, East Jerusalem and Israeli settlements in the West Bank under the terms of international law. 47 I.2. TRAVEL FACILITATION, TOURISM AND GROWTH International travel and tourism depends on the ability of people to travel freely from where they live to their destination, crossing borders and entering other countries. However, a range of factors influence travel mobility and limit the free movement of people, with adverse consequences for tourism and economic growth. Safety and security, customs and immigration, access infrastructure and aviation regulations are just some of the issues which can influence the freedom to travel. Travel facilitation focuses on reducing these impediments and making travel simple and straightforward.

Jack Riley Associate Director of RAND Infrastructure, Safety, and Environment The RAND Corporation The borders of the United States can be conceptualized as four segments, or points of entry. Three segments—airports, ports, and guarded land points—are official. The fourth—unguarded land borders and shoreline—is unofficial and is used primarily by migrants, smugglers, traffickers, and perhaps terrorists. Each segment is to some degree porous, because of the volume of activity and the amount of physical space that must be protected. Physical space is particularly important at unofficial points of entry. The need to improve control over the airport border was highlighted dramatically by 9/11, but the attacks also indicated a need for increased control over the other segments.

  • British University Border Control: Institutionalization and Resistance to Racialized Capitalism/Neoliberalism Lou Dear University of Glasgow: [email protected]
    The International Education Journal: Comparative Perspectives Vol. 17, No. 1, 2018, pp. 7-23 https://openjournals.library.sydney.edu.au/index.php/IEJ British University Border Control: Institutionalization and Resistance to Racialized Capitalism/Neoliberalism Lou Dear University of Glasgow: [email protected] This article will chart the history of the university in Britain as a site of border control. It will then describe the future of the university via narrative and dystopian sci-fi. Before numerous independence declarations, the borders of Britain’s Empire were vast and fluid. The British Nationality Act of 1948 afforded hundreds of millions of subjects the right to live and work in the UK without a visa. Subsequent immigration acts (1968 and 1972) restricted access and eliminated the distinction between Commonwealth and non- Commonwealth citizens. The studia generalia of twelfth-century Europe was characterized by nomadic scholars who would travel extensively to form ad hoc communities around scholars and locations. Thus the Eurocentric tradition of university education is mobile across borders. The “international student” is a modern phenomenon. There is a history of state spying, recruitment and surveillance in universities. But the co-option of the university as a disciplinary apparatus of state border control occurred after mass migration. The university has morphed into a soft border. Thomas Docherty, in For the University: Democracy and the Future of the Institution (2011), suggests that the Conservative Government under Thatcher created a culture of mistrust in the academy in order to justify spending cuts and increase government control. The soft border has advanced into our classrooms; academics enact border control by taking attendance registers linked to T4 visa enforcement.

  • Runway to Recovery: the United States Framework for Airlines and Airports to Mitigate the Public Health Risks of Coronavirus 3 OVERVIEW
    Runway to Recovery The United States Framework for Airlines and Airports to Mitigate the Public Health Risks of Coronavirus Guidance Jointly Issued by the U.S. Departments of Transportation, Homeland Security, and Health and Human Services July 2020 CONTENTS – 03 Overview 07 Principles 09 Air Transportation Stakeholder Roles and Responsibilities 11 A Risk-Based Approach for COVID-19 Outbreak Mitigation Planning 14 Public Health Risk Mitigation in the Passenger Air Transportation System 37 Future Areas of Research and Evaluation for Public Health Risk Mitigations 39 Implementation Challenges Specific to International Travel 40 Appendix A: Key Partners and Decision-makers OVERVIEW The U.S. economy is reopening after the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) public health emergency (PHE) resulted in Federal, State, and local mandated closures and restrictions across many sectors in the first half of 2020. A safe, secure, efficient, and resilient air transportation system that addresses the threat of COVID-19 is critical to reducing the public health risk and supporting the United States’ critical infrastructure needs. Government, aviation, and public health leaders must work together to meaningfully reduce the public health risk and restore passenger, aviation workforce, including crew, and public confidence in air travel. This document provides the U.S. Government’s guidance to airports and airlines for implementing measures to mitigate the public health risks associated with COVID-19, prepare for an increase in travel volume, and ensure that aviation safety and security are not compromised. It is intended to address public health concerns and support U.S. air carriers and airports as they make decisions and implement changes to reduce the spread of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.

  • Attention Airline Industry Colleagues Over the Past Several Years a Group
    Attention Airline Industry Colleagues Over the past several years a group of dedicated members from various Airlines, States, and airline Industry Service Providers have collaborated in working towards the standardization of Passenger Name Record (PNR) data. The main objective of the group was to identify a manner in which PNR data can be standardized and incorporated into the acquisition and provision of passenger data that would be most beneficial to all stakeholders. In addition, these standards must continue to support the World Customs Organization (WCO), the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and the International Air Transport Association (IATA) guidelines as well as being able to meet individual State legislative requirements on the acquisition and provision of PNR data. With the administrative lead and support of IATA this group which is now known as the Passenger Name Record Government (PNRGOV) Working Group has recently finalized and gained WCO and ICAO approval for a PNR message standard that is quickly gaining popularity worldwide. The use of a standard message format for the provision of PNR data streamlines the process and assists in decreasing the need for Airlines and States to manage multiple individual data provision specifications. To obtain more detailed information on the progress that has been made with the PNRGOV Working Group please contact IATA at lATA Site Registration to register to obtain access to the PNRGOV website where all meeting minutes and progress to date can be obtained. With the increase in border control agencies requiring airlines to provide passenger data, there is a need to reinforce the global standards that have been jointly developed to maintain a level of standardisation and ongoing compliance.
