CLEAR has announced that it is launching its biometric identity verification technology at Long Beach Airport (LGB), its ninth airport in California and 49th airport nationally.

Travelers can use CLEAR’s network of dedicated lanes to verify their identity with their eyes or fingers, 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 Transportation Security Administration (TSA) physical security, saving them time waiting in line at the security checkpoint. 

CLEAR’s launch at LGB is expected to create 23 jobs and generate approximately $1.2 million in local economic activity every year.

“California continues to be an incredibly important market for CLEAR and we’re excited to kick off 2023 by further expanding our footprint in Southern California,” said CLEAR CEO, Caryn Seidman-Becker. 

“Launching at LGB means locals and tourists alike can enjoy our predictable, friction-free travel experience in even more places – which is all part of our mission to transform the way people live, work and travel.”

“Travel is a breeze at our award-winning LGB and the addition of CLEAR gives customers an opportunity to make the experience even easier,” said LGB Director, Cynthia Guidry.
