Clear® To Expand Fast Lane Network to Denver International Airport; Lanes to Launch This Winter

 

NEW YORK, October 29, 2007 – Clear®, the leading provider of airport security fast lanes, announced today that it has been chosen in a competitive bidding process to operate Clear lanes at Denver International Airport. Denver area enrollment stations will open in the next month in cooperation with Hyatt Hotels and Clear’s express security lanes will launch this winter. All airlines operating from the airport, and their passengers, will be able to use Clear’s fast pass lanes. Members of Clear will be able to use their cards roundtrip between Denver and nearly all airports in the Clear network including San Francisco, San José, New York’s JFK, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Little Rock and Orlando.

 

“We’re delighted with Denver’s decision,” said Steven Brill, Clear’s CEO. “We are pleased with our successful bid in the competitive selection process and are eager to begin implementation of the program at Denver. Denver serves a strong population of business travelers, consumers and government – it is a perfect fit within the Clear network. Denver is a world-class airport with a record of customer service innovation. We are confident that, given Denver’s passenger volume, it will become one of our largest operations.”

 

“We’re especially gratified to have been chosen by DIA,” Brill added, “because key airport officials at DIA have been among the nation’s leaders in conceiving and designing the national Registered Traveler program. This is a great compliment to us.”

 

With 11 million passengers going through security each year, Denver’s security lanes are the second busiest of any airport to deploy Clear. Already, Clear has signed up hundreds of Denver-area residents in the program. Clear has also established strategic partnerships with one of the largest travel management companies in Denver, Carlson Wagonlit Travel, and has added to its roster an array of corporate accounts among Denver’s largest businesses. Those customers will soon receive the time-saving, convenient benefits of their Clear card at their home airport.

 

Clear provides members with access to a separate, faster line through airport security checkpoints by using an identity card containing their encrypted fingerprint or iris images. The annual fee of $99.95 is charged once applicants are approved by the government. Applicants start their enrollment at flyclear.com and complete the process at an enrollment location where their fingerprints and iris images are captured and their identification is validated.

 

Clear cards are currently accepted at:

  • Albany
  • Cincinnati
  • Indianapolis
  • Jacksonville
  • Little Rock
  • New York JFK
  • Newark
  • Orlando
  • Reno
  • San Francisco
  • San José
