CLEAR, the secure identity company, launched its signature identity verification technology today at Honolulu’s Daniel K. Inouye International Airport (HNL) to streamline the airport’s security screening experience.
CLEAR’s launch at HNL is expected to create 64 jobs and generate approximately $3.6 million annually in local economic impact. In April, CLEAR launched its security screening lane at Maui’s Kahului Airport (OGG) and announced its partnership with Hawaiian Airlines to make the travel experience easier for passengers. Combined, CLEAR’s operations at HNL and OGG are anticipated to result in the creation of approximately 100 jobs and contribute to an annual local economic impact of about $6 million.
Today’s launch represents continued growth in CLEAR’s national footprint, where it serves a total of 58 airports with its opt-in CLEAR Plus membership and more than 22 million Members. Members use CLEAR’s network of dedicated lanes to seamlessly and securely 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.
Caryn Seidman Becker, CEO of CLEAR, said:CLEAR is excited to add Honolulu to its list of airport partners, joining Maui in bringing seamless, reliable travel experiences to passengers across the islands. We look forward to this partnership and the jobs and positive economic impact it will bring to the community.
Ed Sniffen, director of the Hawaii Department of Transportation, said:We are pleased to offer frequent travelers at the Daniel K. Inouye International Airport another option to make security screening faster and more convenient. The addition of CLEAR at Kahului Airport earlier this year has been well received by travelers departing from Maui, and now travelers at HNL will also have the opportunity to utilize this service.
Through its recently announced partnership with Hawaiian Airlines, CLEAR continues to offer HawaiianMiles members discounted CLEAR Plus membership. HawaiianMiles members still receive preferential pricing on an annual CLEAR Plus membership, allowing them to move faster through security in Hawaii at HNL, OGG and 56 other airports nationwide. Partner pricing is also available for Alaska Airlines, Delta Air Lines, United Airlines and American Express members.
Those who opt-in to CLEAR Plus can add up to three family members or friends to their account for $99 each. Family members under 18 years old can always join you in the CLEAR Lane for free. Beyond the airport, CLEAR members can seamlessly affirm their identity for free wherever life takes them – whether they’re checking into a hotel, visiting the doctor, renting a car, or cheering on their favorite sports team.
