Problem
Airlines, jet operators, and related aviation service providers must screen passengers, crew, assets, and aircraft against constantly changing sanctions lists, but manual checks are time‑consuming, error‑prone, and often generate excessive false positives that delay operations.
Solution
Paxfiles offers an automated sanctions screening platform tailored for aviation workflows. The service continuously monitors every trip and leg, matching names, dates of birth, and other identifiers against comprehensive, frequently updated sanctions lists. Advanced matching algorithms and tunable probability thresholds reduce false positives while ensuring high‑risk matches are flagged. Results are delivered as clear go/no‑go decisions, enriched with supplementary information, and can be accessed instantly via a developer‑friendly API that integrates with existing PNR/APIS systems. Users can also maintain private blacklists and whitelists to enforce internal policies and streamline approvals.
Target Audience
Primary customers are airlines, private jet operators, flight‑booking operators (FBOS), brokers, MROs, and ground handling agents that need automated, reliable sanctions compliance within their passenger and crew screening processes.
