PITTSBURGH, Dec. 18,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- CLEAR (NYSE: YOU), the secure
identity company, today announced it is launching its identity
verification technology at Pittsburgh International Airport (PIT),
bringing frictionless and predictable travel experiences to
Pennsylvania. CLEAR's launch at
PIT is expected to create 28 jobs and generate approximately
$1.8 million annually in local
economic impact.
"We are thrilled PIT will now offer CLEAR's high-tech,
high-touch experience, something our market has requested for a
long time," said Pittsburgh
International Airport CEO Christina
Cassotis. "At PIT, we are focused on providing the best
possible passenger experience; CLEAR's streamlined security
screening process supports that mission. We look forward to seeing
our passengers take advantage of this increasingly popular
service."
"CLEAR is so excited for the opportunity to help Pittsburgh travelers feel unstoppable along
their journey – especially in time for the holidays," said CLEAR
CEO Caryn Seidman Becker. "We
share PIT's commitment to delivering the best customer experience
and thank the PIT team for bringing CLEAR to the Commonwealth."
Today's launch represents continued growth in CLEAR's national
footprint, where it serves a total of 56 airports and nearly 19
million Members. CLEAR already serves 9 of PIT's top 10 domestic
destinations, allowing Members traveling through PIT to use CLEAR
on both ends of their journey. Members use CLEAR's network of
dedicated lanes to verify their identity with their eyes or
fingerprint, replacing the need to take out their wallet and
driver's license. After verification, a CLEAR Ambassador escorts
Members through the dedicated lane and directly to TSA physical
security, saving them time waiting in line at the security
checkpoint.
CLEAR Plus – an opt-in membership that provides access to
CLEAR's expedited identity verification lanes – costs about
$16 a month billed annually, with
preferred pricing available for Delta Air Lines, United Airlines,
Alaska Airlines and American Express Members. Newly enrolling
active military, veterans, and government officials are also
eligible for discounted memberships, and additional family Members
can be added to an existing CLEAR Plus account for $99 per adult per year.
