New Pilot Program Will Ease Travel for Frequent Fliers

03 Dec 2010

A new program will ease the process for frequent fliers to pass through immigration and customs between the United States and Mexico. The pilot program will be an expansion of the Global Entry program.

Applicants for the new pilot program will be required to pass robust background checks and will additionally be required to provide biometrical data. If approved for participation, the applicants will be able to use Global Entry kiosks at U.S. airports to receive travel approval, after providing their passports or resident cards, providing digital fingerprints and answering customs declaration questions on the kiosk.
