New requirement for travel to Belgium
Carlson Wagonlit Travel has learned the Belgian government implemented a program April 1 that requires international business travelers working in Belgium for more than five consecutive days in a month to register before entering the country.
The program, called Limosa, requires a traveler’s employer, or a third party, to register the traveler on their behalf. A Limosa-1 certificate will be electronically generated upon registering. This certificate must be printed and carried by the traveler on their trip to Belgium, as they may be asked by their Belgian client to produce their certificate.
TSA implements random airport employee screening operation
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) announced in mid March the implementation of an airport employee screening program. TSA Administrator Kip Hawley said, “Every employee should have a reasonable expectation that they could be screened at any time, at any access point within the footprint of the airport.”
The operation deployed 160 transportation officers, aviation security inspectors, federal air marshals, and other personnel to increase current employee and passenger security capabilities at Orlando International, Tampa International, Miami International and Ft. Lauderdale/Hollywood International airports in the United States, as well as at Luis Munoz Marin International Airport in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
