COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) — Friends and family dropping off or picking up loved ones at John Glenn Columbus International Airport (CMH) can now wait directly at the gate, thanks to a new reservation system with pre-approved security clearance.
The Columbus Regional Airport Authority recently announced that CMH is among a select group of airports nationwide now allowing non-travelers to pass through security without a boarding pass. The new program, called GateSide by TSA PreCheck, requires visitors to complete several clearance steps before entry.
“We are proud to partner with TSA on the launch of GateSide by TSA PreCheck,” said Daren Griffin, CRAA president and CEO. “This innovative program helps bring back special moments that many travelers have missed — welcoming loved ones at the gate, enjoying a meal together before a flight, or simply sharing time in the terminal. Our participation reflects CRAA’s commitment to elevating the passenger experience and providing the highest level of service to our community.”…
