Am I Required to Use the eu-LISA Systems?

• The Entry/Exit System (EES) and the European Travel Information and Authorization System (ETIAS) applies to individual travelers, not just aircraft operators. 

• When EES is implemented, ALL third country nationals (i.e. persons that are not nationals of one of the Schengen Member States) will have their entry and exit tracked electronically by the EES. 

• When ETIAS is implemented, ALL visa-free third country nationals will require an ETIAS travel authorization regardless of what means of transportation they use.

• Once these systems are implemented, the only reliable way to know if your passengers have the required authorizations is to query the Carrier Interface of eu-LISA. 

This is what Flight Pro Connect is certified to do.

Are U.S. Citizens and Canadian Citizens Affected?

The second system to be implemented by eu-LISA, the European Travel Information and Authorization System (ETIAS), requires all visa-free third country nationals to obtain an electronic travel authorization prior to traveling to the Schengen area.  U.S. and Canadian nationals are among those affected. 

How Far in Advance Can My Passengers Be Checked Against the eu-LISA Systems?

The queries of the Carrier Interface are only allowed within the 48 hours prior to departure.
