# African and global aviation organisations are urging African countries to implement Advanced Passenger Information and Passenger Name Record systems to strengthen border security and improve travel. The African Airlines Association, Airlines Association of Southern Africa and International Air Transport Association say the systems should follow international standards while protecting passenger data. The bodies say governments should fund implementation, warning that costs should not be passed on to airlines or travellers, as Africa works to expand safe and efficient air connectivity.
