EU news: Air traffic loophole allows private jets to go unchecked on passenger databaseMiscreants can avoid the same database checks that regular holiday-makers catching commercial flights are subject to by travelling by private jets, according to an investigation by EU Observer. However, passengers travelling on private jets within the EU may be exempt from the same database scrutiny because it is the decision of member state's to implement. PNR – which entered into force in May of this year – is "a record of each passenger's travel requirements held in carriers' reservation and departure control system". The European Commission, the EU's powerful executive, have already started legal actions against half of the member states for not implementing the PNR sufficiently. Portuguese MEP Ana Gomes raised concerns that the loophole can be used by terrorists and other criminals to travel across borders undetected.
