Can I view, change or erase flight information?

You can view, change or erase your own passenger (PNR) information by submitting a request to Customs, the passenger information unit (Pi-NL) or your airline. You can view, change or erase the advance passenger information (API) held by the Royal Military and Border Police (KMar) by contacting the Ministry of Defence.

Viewing and correcting passenger information
