The Ethiopian Airlines Group, the largest aviation group in Africa is delighted to announce its partnership with the United States (US) Transport Security Administration (TSA) PreCheck® program.
The program allows Ethiopian Airlines’ customers traveling out of USA to have a better
air travel experience with a more seamless, secure, and comfortable security screening
solution as they can keep their shoes, belts and light jackets on, and their laptops and
3-1-1 liquids in their bags while passing through the dedicated TSA PreCheck screening
lanes. The 3-1-1 liquids rule is a TSA regulation that allows passengers to carry liquids,
gels, and aerosols in travel-size containers that are 3.4 ounces or 100 milliliters each. All
such containers should be placed in a single, quart-sized bag, with one bag permitted per passenger. This rule streamlines the security process and ensures a quicker passage
through airport checkpoints.
Regarding the partnership Ethiopian Airlines Group CEO Mesfin Tasew said, “This
collaboration marks a significant milestone in our 25-year history of service to and from the United States, enhancing the travel experience for our esteemed passengers through expedited security screening.” He then added, “Our integration into the TSA PreCheck® program is more than just an added convenience; it is a reflection of our dedication to providing a superior travel experience.”
Through TSA PreCheck, customers can enjoy streamlined security processes and
expedited security screening. This will help their passengers to have more control over
how they comfortably spend their time and benefit from a secure air travel system. TSA
PreCheck® passengers wait less than 10 minutes in dedicated lanes at airport checkpoints.
Ethiopian Airlines now offers this expedited service to its customers traveling from five
key destinations in the USA: Atlanta, Chicago, Newark, New York, and Washington.
The airline’s customers who are U.S. citizens, U.S. Nationals or lawful permanent residents of the United States, may benefit from enrolling in the TSA PreCheck Application Program through one of TSA’s three authorized enrollment providers.
