ARINC Partnering with SecureTRANSIT for Border Control Notifications

ARINC has agreed to a partnership that allows it to integrate SecureTRANSIT's APIS (advance passenger information system) software into its ARINC Direct operational applications to make it easier for its business aviation customers to submit government-required crew and passenger data for flights entering or leaving the United States, Canada or Mexico.

The partnership was formalized in late 2006 and the integration should to be completed in early 2007.

The agreement includes SecureTRANSIT's APIScontrol, an automated, Web-based application that collects, validates, and submits APIS data and APISadvisor, a reconciliation application that deciphers and records returned APIS receipts, and advises if the transmission needs further attention.

SecureTRANSIT began developing its system in response to a post-911 requirement to submit full APIS reports in a UN/EDFACT (United Nations electronic data interchange for administration, commerce, and transport) format for these international flights.

SecureTRANSIT also offers hosted airline software products including CrewOpscontrol for automated crew planning, and SysOpscontrol for operational control and passenger reservation functions.  01-06-2007.
