As exciting as it is when the TSA adds new airlines to its list of participants in TSA PreCheck, it’s equally as frustrating when an airline you plan to use is not a participant. We even contacted several popular airlines to ask why they don’t participate (here’s what they said – and there’s some good news coming down the pike!).
But today is an exciting day because the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has announced the expansion of its TSA PreCheck program, with the addition of EIGHT(!!!) more airlines that will participate in its expedited screening program. On top of that news, one airline that were previously on TSA PreCheck’s list of participating airlines is no longer participating in the program, and one other airline in the program has had a name change.
Here’s the lowdown on all of them:
New Additions
- Air Premia
- Air Tahiti Nui
- Air Transat
- Bahamasair
- BermudAir
- Iberia
- La Compagnie
- New Pacific Airlines
