Passenger Name Record Directive

The Passenger Name Record Directive (PNR Directive) is a rule in the European Union that regulates how airlines handle personal data of passengers, such as names, travel details, and contact information. Its goal is to enhance security and fight crime by allowing authorities to access this information for specific purposes, like preventing terrorism. However, it also sets strict guidelines to protect individuals' privacy, ensuring that their data is used responsibly and kept secure. The directive aims to balance safety needs with the protection of personal data rights.
