CLEAR Launches New Lanes at Portland International Airport
February 07 2025 - 7:00AM
Today, CLEAR (NYSE: YOU), the secure identity company, is launching
its identity verification technology at Portland International
Airport (PDX), bringing frictionless and predictable travel
experiences to Oregon. CLEAR’s launch at PDX is expected to create
53 jobs and generate over $3 million annually in local economic
impact.
“We are thrilled to welcome CLEAR, a world class service, to a
world class airport! This valuable addition is now available to
travelers at PDX, meeting the growing demand for convenience while
upholding the city’s commitment to consumer rights and responsible
technology use,” said Portland Metro Chamber President and
CEO Andrew Hoan. “Technology should make life easier for
all, and CLEAR’s approach at PDX reflects that balance—enhancing
the traveler experience while respecting local policies and the
rights of the public. Welcome CLEAR to Portland, and we look
forward to seeing it benefit our community.”
“When we opened our new main terminal last summer, we often got
asked: Will CLEAR be coming to PDX? Today, we’re excited to deliver
that option for our travelers,” said Dan Pippenger, Chief
Aviation Officer at Port of Portland. “With the addition
of CLEAR, we’re continuing to improve and streamline the travel
experience while maintaining the highest standards of safety and
security.”
“We're thrilled to bring CLEAR to Portland and help PDX
travelers experience a smoother, more predictable
journey,” said CLEAR CEO Caryn
Seidman-Becker. “We share PDX's dedication to
enhancing the customer experience and are excited to be part of
making travel to and from Oregon faster and easier.”
Today’s launch represents continued growth in CLEAR's national
footprint, where it serves a total of 59 airports with its opt-in
CLEAR Plus membership and over 27 million Members. Members use
CLEAR's network of dedicated lanes to seamlessly and securely
verify their identity with their eyes or fingerprints, replacing
the need to take out their wallet and driver's license. After
verification, a CLEAR Ambassador escorts Members through the
dedicated lane and directly to TSA physical security, with the goal
of saving them time waiting in line at the security checkpoint.
CLEAR Plus – an opt-in membership that provides access to
CLEAR's expedited identity verification lanes – costs a little more
than $16 a month billed annually, with preferred pricing available
for Delta Air Lines, United Airlines, Alaska Airlines and American
Express Members. Newly enrolling active military, veterans, and
government officials are also eligible for discounted memberships,
and additional family Members can be added to an existing CLEAR
Plus account for $119 per adult per year.
