Private Plane Risk

WASHINGTON (CN) - Private airplanes may be prohibited from landing in the United States, or may be rerouted to a different airport, based on passenger manifests and other flight and plane information submitted electronically an hour before departure from a foreign territory, according to a new Department of Homeland Security regulation.

The U.S. Customs and Border Protection, requires the information to assesses it for security risk.

If the information is not submitted, a pilot could incur a $5,000 fine the first instance and $10,000 for later breaches. Additionally, the U.S. may protect its airspace if a plane is considered non-responsive.

The same information is required for planes leaving the U.S. for foreign territory.
