The US Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has confirmed the expansion of its TSA PreCheck program with the addition of Aer Lingus, Air New Zealand, Ethiopian Airlines and Saudia.


Nearly 100 airlines now participate in the program.

TSA PreCheck is an expedited screening program enabling low-risk travellers to enjoy a secure and efficient screening experience at more than 200 US state and territory airports, and one foreign Preclearance airport at the Lynden Pindling International Airport in Nassau, Bahamas. 

TSA PreCheck passengers may keep on their shoes, belts and light jackets and are not required to remove laptops, 3-1-1 liquids and food items from their carry-on bags. About 99 per cent of TSA PreCheck passengers wait less than 10 minutes in dedicated lanes at airport checkpoints nationwide.

TSA PreCheck is available for eligible passengers when departing from a participating airport or when connecting on domestic flights after returning to the US from a foreign airport. 

Travellers who are US citizens, nationals or lawful permanent residents may apply for TSA PreCheck and can pick any enrollment provider based on cost, location and additional benefits.
