Passenger Manifests

In the context of aviation, a Passenger Manifest is a detailed list of passengers on board an aircraft. It is a crucial document prepared by airlines, containing comprehensive information about each passenger, including their full name, age, gender, nationality, and seat number. The manifest also often includes details about the passenger's travel itinerary, such as their destination and any connecting flights. This document is primarily used for safety, security, and administrative purposes. In case of an emergency, the manifest allows rescue teams to know exactly who was on the aircraft and provides vital information to aid in search and rescue operations. From a security perspective, the manifest helps authorities track individuals for immigration control and to prevent illegal activities. Administratively, it assists airlines in managing their passenger records, facilitating efficient check-in processes, and ensuring accurate passenger counts. The Passenger Manifest is typically shared with airport authorities, immigration officials, and sometimes with the destination country's government.
