Hospitality
Turkish
Airlines, Europe’s Best Airline for the sixth years in a row*, and flying to
more countries than any other airline, has added another feature to its
fantastic global offerings through its new agreement with the Transportation
Security Administration (TSA).
Members of a Department of
Homeland Security trusted traveler program may now experience TSA Pre✓® expedited screening
at airport security checkpoints in the United States. Light jackets, shoes, and
belts may remain on. In TSA Pre✓® lanes, laptops and 3-1-1
compliant liquids remain in carryon bags. Children 12 and under accompanying a
parent or guardian with TSA Pre✓®
also receive expedited screening. In April 2017, 97% of TSA Pre✓®passengers
waited for less than 5 minutes.
TSA Pre✓®
screening is available to members of Global Entry and the TSA Precheck
Application Program. TSA Pre✓®
screening is also available to U.S. citizens and U.S. lawful permanent
residents enrolled in NEXUS or SENTRI, and to Canadian citizens enrolled in
NEXUS. For moredetails, you can visithttps://www.dhs.gov/trusted-traveler-programs
To experience
TSA Pre✓®,
members enrolled in a trustedtraveler program must add their Known Traveler Number
for reservations with Turkish Airlines at the kiosk or check-in counters. When checking
in, a TSA Pre✓®
indicator will appear on each boarding pass.
TSA Pre✓® allows travellers to
save time and stress by going through security faster without having the need
to remove many of their personal accessories.
Bilal Ekşi, Turkish Airlines’
Deputy Chairman and CEO, said; “The comfort and convenience of our passengers
is the first priority for Turkish Airlines. Through this collaboration we are constantly
striving to create a smooth and comfortable flying experience for them. TSA Pre✓® is a highly reputable program which always works with
the leading airlines in the world. We are confident that this new agreement will
support us in further enhancing the over all quality of our ground handling services
to our passengers depart from U.S.”
Turkish
Airlines continues to improve its inflight offerings and airport services, as
it strives to provide the world’s best passenger experience and will stay
committed to its aim and goals in always providing its passengers with the best
possible overall service.
