SAN becomes CLEAR's 43rd airport nationwide
and eighth airport in California
amid surge in travel across the U.S.
SAN
DIEGO, April 26, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- As
airports across the country experience a surge in passengers, CLEAR
(NYSE: YOU) today announced the launch of its expedited lanes in
Terminal 2 at San Diego
International Airport (SAN). SAN is CLEAR's eighth airport in
California and 43rd nationally.
CLEAR already serves all 10 of the airport's top 10 domestic
destinations, and the company's entry into SAN will create
approximately 27 new jobs and an overall economic impact of upwards
of $2.4 million for the region.
"CLEAR's launch at San Diego
International Airport provides passengers flying out of
San Diego with access to an
unstoppable travel experience," said San Diego County Supervisor Nora Vargas, who also serves on the San Diego
County Regional Airport Authority Board. "This partnership
reflects our commitment to continue offering travelers new and
innovative ways to make their time at the airport as safe and
seamless as possible."
Members use CLEAR's network of dedicated lanes to verify their
identity with their eyes, 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.
"The city of San Diego has been
a wonderful partner as we launch our expedited security lanes at
San Diego International Airport.
We're obsessed with making every experience faster, safer and
easier, and we can't wait to help passengers in San Diego feel unstoppable on their journey,"
said CLEAR CEO Caryn
Seidman-Becker.
Today's launch represents continued growth in CLEAR's footprint
in California, where the company's
expedited security lanes are available at eight airports: SAN,
Palm Springs International Airport
(PSP), Ontario International
Airport (ONT), Los Angeles
International Airport (LAX), Oakland International Airport (OAK),
San Francisco International
Airport (SFO), Norman Y. Mineta San Jose International Airport
(SJC), and Sacramento
International Airport (SMF).
"Not only does CLEAR significantly cut down security wait times
for members, their technology uses traffic data and terminal
walking times to tell you exactly when to leave your home to get to
your gate in time," said Nathan
Fletcher, Chair of the San Diego
County Board of Supervisors. "CLEAR's lanes are just one
more example of San Diego Airport's commitment to innovation and
putting passengers first."
"We are thrilled that CLEAR is now offering their touchless
technology at SAN," said Kimberly
Becker, President & CEO of San Diego County Regional
Airport Authority. "We are always looking for new ways to
enhance the customer experience and make travel as seamless as
possible. This is a great addition to that commitment. Welcome to
San Diego, CLEAR."
"In addition to improving the travel experience, CLEAR's
presence at the airport generates a significant economic impact,
bringing job opportunities and revenue to the County of
San Diego," said Jerry Sanders, President & CEO of the San
Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce. "Our partnership with CLEAR
is just one more reason why the San
Diego region is the best place to live and work."

CLEAR's expedited security lanes – costs just $15 a month billed annually, with discounts

officials are also eligible for discounted memberships, and
