DHS APIS/I-92 Form
The U.S. International Air Travelers Statistics Program provides information on international air traffic between the United States and other countries. The data have been collected from the Department of Homeland Security – Customs and Border Protection’s Advance Passenger Information System (APIS) since July 2010. Previously the data source was the DHS/INS I-92 paper form. These data are now obtained electronically from all U.S. and foreign flag carriers who operate United States International arrival or departure flights (Canada was included as of 2011).
The APIS based “I-92” system provides air traffic data on the number of passengers, by country, airport, scheduled or chartered, U.S. Flag and foreign flag, citizens and non-citizens. Information from the APIS database, the number of air passengers using the last U.S. port of embarkation and the first foreign port of arrival, is used on a quarterly basis to provide travel volume estimates for U.S. residents traveling to overseas destinations in the Survey of International Air Travelers (SIAT).
