CanJet Airlines will require 5 basic pieces of information from its passenger, which will be sent to customs officials prior to wheels up, passengers will be required to provide the following information; official first and last name, gender, date of birth, citizenship, and travel document number.
Additionally, passengers to the United States are required to provide the full address (including zip code) where they will stay while in the United States. If passengers are connecting to a cruise ship, they should have available the name of the cruise ship and city/state of point of embarkation.
