The experience is now available at every TSA PreCheck location\nat DFW, with plans to deploy at select TSA PreCheck checkpoints at Miami\nInternational Airport (MIA), Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX),\nWashington Reagan National Airport (DCA) and more later this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re committed to making our customers\u2019 journeys easier,\nand airport waypoints provide significant opportunities for innovation,\u201d said\nJulie Rath, Vice President of Customer Experience, Loyalty and Marketing for\nAmerican. \u201cBy simplifying the identity verification process and other points at\nthe airport, we\u2019re helping our customers exchange stress for convenience and\nsaved time and propelling the travel industry further along the path to a truly\nseamless customer experience.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Seamless security<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Creating and storing the American Airlines Mobile ID is\nsimple. Before travel, American Airlines customers with TSA PreCheck who choose\nto participate in this program need to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Download the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aa.com\/i18n\/travel-info\/security\/mobile-id.jsp\">Airside Digital Identity App<\/a> iOS or Android device<\/li><li>Take a photo of their face<\/li><li>Scan their driver\u2019s license or passport with the app*<\/li><li>Enter their American Airlines AAdvantage number<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The app then:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Verifies the customers\u2019 information using mobile\nID technology powered by Thales to compare against each state\u2019s Department of\nMotor Vehicles records or the passport\u2019s embedded NFC chip.<\/li><li>Securely stores the customer\u2019s American Airlines\nMobile ID on their mobile device until they choose where and when to share\nit.&nbsp; <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>As they go through security, customers simply present a QR\ncode on their phone and consent to share their American Airlines Mobile ID with\nTSA. After sharing their Mobile ID, customers look into a camera at the TSA\nPreCheck checkpoint. TSA\u2019s computer system then matches the customer\u2019s\nencrypted image against their American Airlines Mobile ID. The entire process\nat the airport typically takes less than five seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once verified, TSA erases the encrypted digital ID from its\ncheckpoint readers and customers retain their digital ID on their device until\nthey are ready to use it at another waypoint, such as an airport lounge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Expanding innovation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today\u2019s launch was informed by prior digital ID trials that\nAmerican introduced in 2021 for touchless bag drop and Admirals Club entry at\nDFW. American customers participating in these trials have the option to use\nfacial recognition technology instead of presenting a government-issued ID,\nboarding pass or cobranded credit card to check their bag or enter the lounge.\nBecause either a passport or driver\u2019s license are accepted, this trial provides\nbroad accessibility for travelers to experience this next milestone in easy travel\nand offers a scalable solution for future domestic security touchpoints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re thankful for our stakeholders\u2019 collaboration and\nsupport in driving the industry forward to offer innovative security checkpoint\nsolutions to help customers safely and securely travel,\u201d said Kriste\nJordan-Smith, Federal Security Director, DFW Airport, for TSA. \u201cWe\u2019ll continue\nto take an agile approach to developing a stress-free and secure traveling\nexperience for TSA PreCheck passengers and look forward to expanding this\ntechnology in the future.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the future, American will roll out similar technology to\nadditional kiosks, bag check and domestic boarding gates. American customers\ncan already verify their identities through facial matching provided by U.S.\nCustoms and Border Protection at several international boarding gates today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>*Drivers licenses from states that are part of the AAMVA\nDLDV program and U.S. passports are eligible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>American Airlines customers with TSA PreCheck\u00ae can now breeze through the airport with just their phone and their face, thanks to a collaboration with the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and American to test mobile identification.
