Update: Australia Information and Changes

May 5, 2006 - United is making changes to the Unimatic FAINFO screen on April 11, in order to be compliant with Australian government regulations regarding entry into Australia. The Unimatic FAINFO screen now will include a roll-up option (>RU at the bottom of the screen) to a second page of information.

Page one was modified to remove the RENEWAL PERIOD date fields. In addition, you will not be able to update the COUNTRY, PASSPORT NUMBER and EXPIRATION DATE fields from this page. Instead, you must update these fields from page two, which is titled FAPASS.

The second page; FAPASS, re-displays the COUNTRY, NUMBER, and EXPIRE fields, along with three new fields. The information in these new fields is required for all reserves and any lineholder flying trips to Australia.. You are required to fill-in the following new fields: NATIONALITY, ISSUE DATE, and ISSUING AUTHORITY OR PLACE OF ISSUE (when entering ISSUING AUTHORITY OR PLACE OF ISSUE, enter exactly as it appears on your passport). The LAST UPDATED information on page two of FAINFO represents the last time your passport information was updated. Line 14 displays your passport status (valid, invalid, or expired) and Australian entry authorization (allowed, or not allowed).

You are required to have all PRIMARY PASSPORT fields entered (1-6) to be Australian Entry Authorized for any trips that arrive in Australia beginning on May 1, 2006. Only those IDs with flights into or out of Australia require this authorization. As of April 17, 2006, if you are scheduled on an ID with a trip to Australia and you have not updated the required fields, you will receive a "D-ENTRY" (not allowed Australian entry) diagnostic in your line of flying. The diagnostic is removed immediately after the required fields have been updated. Unimatic will prohibit lineholders from picking up or trading into trips to Australian and bypass reserves if these fields have not been updated.

Circled numbers on the sample passport below correspond to the fields on FAINFO

1. In Unimatic type FAINFO
2. Roll up screen to second page (FAPASS)
3. Under Primary Passport, fill in fields 4, 5, and 6
4. Nationality – type from passport nationality listed (found just below name). If you are unsure, use NATION search ID with your passport country to get list of UAL ID nationalities for your country
5. Issue Date – type from passport date of issue (ddmmmyyyy e.g. 28 Jun 2001)
6. Issuing Authority / Place of Issue – type from passport. The issuing authority/place of issue field is located in the passport, somewhere near the name. The field may be called “issuing authority” or “authority” or “place of issue” or something similar. These details could be a series of numbers, a place, the name of a government department or a stamp and must be entered exactly as shown on the passport. For example, Passport Agency Chicago, or Los Angles, or United States Department of State.
7. Move cursor to flashing line then press enter.
