Alaska Airlines is set to introduce the TSA PreCheck Touchless ID program at its hub airports, following earlier launches in Atlanta and Washington D.C. The rollout will begin in Seattle on June 26, followed by Los Angeles on July 8 and Portland on July 10.
The Touchless ID program allows travelers to verify their identity using facial recognition technology, eliminating the need for physical identification at security checkpoints. This initiative aims to streamline the airport experience and expedite the security process.
Charu Jain, Senior Vice President of Innovation and Merchandising at Alaska Airlines, stated, "Using Touchless ID is going to be a gamechanger for our guests as they navigate our hub airports. No longer needing to juggle a boarding pass and physical ID means our guests can breeze through security with just their face."
