Clear® Registered Traveler is Selected by Little Rock National Airport for Registered Traveler Program. Enrollment to Begin Within 30 Days of Agreement for Clear's 10th Venue.

 

NEW YORK, NY – Clear® Registered Traveler announced today that the Little Rock Municipal Airport Commission unanimously selected the company to launch its registered traveler program at the airport. Enrollment is expected to begin within 30 days, once a contract has been executed. All airlines operating from the airport, and their customers, will be able to take advantage of the Clear program.

Clear allows business travelers and other frequent fliers to pay a fee ($99.95) to be pre-screened by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and receive a biometric identity card that provides them with expedited passage through airport security checkpoints. Applicants start their membership at www.flyclear.com and complete the process in person at an enrollment station where their biometrics (fingerprints and iris images) are captured.

 

Clear, now with over 40,000 members, began the only privately-run registered traveler program at Orlando International Airport in July 2005. Earlier this year, Clear launched programs at Indianapolis, Cincinnati and San Jose Airports, in addition to JFK's Terminal 7. In the next few weeks, JFK's Terminals 1 and 4 as well as Newark's Terminal B will also begin fast lane operations, with Albany soon to follow.

 

"We're delighted that we've been unanimously selected by the Little Rock Municipal Airport Commission in this competitive process," said Steven Brill, founder and CEO of Clear. "We are also proud to announce a co-marketing partnership with the airport's valet provider, Valet Solutions. We have already seen tremendous interest from area employers whose travelers will benefit from the program nationwide."
