Ethiopian Airlines Elevates Passenger Experience with TSA PreCheck Enrolment

Addis Ababa August 2/2024 (ENA) 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.

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 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 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 nationwide.

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.
