Indianapolis Airport Authority and iQueue Priority Access relaunch registered traveler program
INDIANAPOLISThe Indianapolis Airport Authority (IAA) and iQueue Priority Access announced today they will re-open expedited security lanes for registered travelers at Indianapolis International Airport (IND). The service will start Monday, August 16.
IND is the first U.S. airport to re-establish a registered traveler service since the CLEAR registered traveler program, which was operated by Verified Identity Pass, Inc., ceased operations last June.
The iQueue Priority Access program allows business travelers and other frequent fliers to pay a $169 annual membership fee for a biometric identity card that provides them expedited passage through airport security checkpoints.
Travelers can register on-site at IND beginning Monday, August 2. The enrollment location in Civic Plaza will be open from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily. Travelers can also register online beginning Monday at www.flyiqueue.com.
A variety of discounted iQueue membership plans will be available during the initial launch period, including reduced family and corporate plans. In addition, former members of the CLEAR program are eligible for discounted iQueue memberships and credit for the time remaining on their CLEAR membership, up to one year.
CLEARs registered traveler program had over 250,000 enrolled members across the U.S., over 12,000 of whom were enrolled at IND.
Providing an outstanding airport experience for our passengers is a top priority. We believe this program, which pre-screens its members for faster security clearance, will offer a new level of convenience for travelers. We look forward to partnering with the iQueue team to bring the program to Indianapolis, said John Clark, CEO & Executive Director of the Indianapolis Airport Authority.
Noted James Jasinski, Executive Vice President of Cogent Systems, We are thrilled to work with the Indianapolis Airport Authority to lead the re-launch of such an important benefit for frequent flyers. Now, iQueue members in Indianapolis will be able to enjoy a less stressful, more predictable airport security experience.
Fred Fischer, iQueues Managing Partner added, We expect to announce similar agreements with other U.S. airports in the near future, including those that formerly offered CLEAR lanes in addition to a host of new airports.
The expedited security lanes are provided by the iQueue Priority Access operated by Cogent Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: COGT).
