Air Premia has announced its participation in the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) PreCheck programme.
The TSA PreCheck programme expedites the security screening process at participating U.S. airports. Air Premia is joining the programme 17 months after it began services to and from the United States.
Eligible passengers enrolled in the TSA PreCheck programme can enjoy the expedited security screening process at Air Premia’s U.S. gateway city airports—Los Angeles, Newark, and San Francisco (launching May 17, 2024).
Enrolled passengers will have a TSA Pre✓ logo on their boarding passes, allowing them to pass through a dedicated line for security screening. They do not have to remove their shoes, belts, and light jackets while keeping large electronic devices such as laptops in their bags.
U.S. citizens and permanent residents are eligible to enrol in the TSA PreCheck program by visiting the TSA website or enrolment locations. Once approved by TSA, a Known Traveler Number (KTN) will be issued, which can be used at check-in. For one low enrolment fee, TSA PreCheck membership is valid for 5 years.
Korean citizens enrolled in the Global Entry programme, offered by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to pre-approved travellers for expedited clearance upon arrival in the U.S., are also eligible to receive TSA PreCheck programme benefits.
The TSA PreCheck programme currently has more than 90 member airlines worldwide, and Air Premia is the third Korean national carrier to join.
CEO Yoo Myung-sub said: “We’re committed to providing a safe and convenient travel experience to our passengers. By joining the TSA PreCheck programme, we hope to further enhance our passengers’ overall travel experience on Air Premia.”
