Do ferry flights with no passengers still file eAPIS?

Yes. The crew is the manifest. A flight with nobody in the back still files inbound and outbound.

Can you file for a flight you are not operating?

Yes. We file manifests for owner and third-party crews as a standalone service.

eAPIS manifest filing for private and ferry flights

Every private flight crossing the United States border files an eAPIS manifest before it moves, inbound and outbound. We file it as part of the same package as the Landing Rights request and the customs entry.

Inbound and outbound manifests filed
Crew changes and late roster swaps handled
Submitted with Landing Rights and customs together
Filed for ferry crews and owner flights alike

What has to be on the manifest

Full traveller details for everyone on board, the aircraft identity, and the departure and arrival points and times. The detail has to match the travel documents exactly, because a mismatch is treated as an error rather than a typo.

Why ferry flights get this wrong

Ferry rosters change. A crew swap the night before departure, a mechanic joining for the leg, or a tech stop that becomes an overnight all change what has been filed. The manifest has to follow those changes, and on a movement we are running, it does.
