Additionally, United has become the first (and only) airline in the country to exclusively dedicate automated lanes to a TSA Precheck security checkpoint, continuing to increase efficiency and improve the screening experience for its customers.
The new lanes enable up to five customers to fill their individual bins simultaneously and move through the screening process more quickly, even if TSA agents need to perform additional screening on a customer further up the queue. The lanes also utilise a parallel conveyor system that automatically returns empty bins to the front of the queue.
"As the first and only US-based airline to launch automated screening lanes in multiple airports, United continues its commitment to using the latest technology to meet the changing needs of our customers and improve the airport experience," commented Greg Hart, United's Executive Vice President and Chief Operations Officer.
