The Ministry of Transport has developed a draft order on a new procedure for introducing basic data on passengers and personnel (crew).
According to it, from September 1, relevant data should be provided to carriers on air, water and rail transport, as well as on road transport between the city and air traffic (except for flights between Moscow and the Moscow region, St. Petersburg and the Lenyu region). What will be included in the list of data:
• information about bank cards (last 4 digits, bank name)
• IP addresses
• telephones
• E-mail address
• logins and passwords for accounts on the carrier’s website or application.
• ticket price
• great service
The information will be fed into the unified state information system for transport security (USIS OTB). Its operator is the Federal State Unitary Enterprise of the Ministry of Transport “Zashchitainfotrans”. Rosaviatsiya, Rostransnadzor, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the FSB have access to it.
At the same time, the Association of Air Transport Operators (AEVT) in its review of the project states that some of the additional data about passengers, including registration and account passwords, are “confidential information, and therefore such data is not disclosed by the contractor.”
AEVT noted that the new requirements do not comply with established recommendations and ICAO recommendations. The current standard, ICAO Doc 9944, Guidelines for Passenger Registration Records (PNRs), “directs States not to require or hold an operator responsible for providing PNR data that is not already collected or reported in its tier system.” . AEVT asked the Ministry of Transport to finalize the project.
The setting is not very clear and useful, since a person can reach the level level on one device, continue purchasing from another, for example, with the one shown, and view all these actions using a VPN.

Smartavia supported AEVT. Russian Railways and other airlines declined to comment.
According to a Kommersant interlocutor close to the Ministry of Transport, the document will no longer be finalized. [Коммерсантъ]
