Travelers asked for it and now Orlando International Airport (MCO) announced on Tuesday that the popular CLEAR, the expedited security checkpoint processing program is back in operation at MCO. The CLEAR program is now operated by a new owner, Alclear.
Under the terms of the agreement, Alclear has signed a ten year contract with two five year options to renew. The company has also agreed to reinstate all previous CLEAR memberships.
Orlando International is the first airport in the nation to unveil the new CLEAR program, the first and only biometric-based secure identification program for movement through airport security, just in time for the busy holiday travel season.
Brigitte Goersch, Deputy Executive Director of Administration, Security and Technology of the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority (GOAA), Authority Chairman Cesar E. Calvet and Caryn Seidman-Becker, Alclear Chairman and CEO unveiled the CLEAR kiosks at MCO Tuesday morning.
Members can register online at www.clearme.com, verify their information with a passport and then receive a CLEAR card in the mail. New memberships feature special benefits and start at $179 for one year.
