Services

CLEAR Airport Registered Traveler Program

Alclear purchased CLEAR out of bankruptcy in 2010 for $5.87 million, relaunching the service that had previously closed in 2009.[1] Upon relaunching, CLEAR opened lanes in Denver International Airport and Orlando International Airport.[3] In the time since the relaunch in 2010, CLEAR has expanded to the following 25 airports in the United States:[4]

CLEAR Sports Program

In 2015, CLEAR began launching its security service in Major League Baseball stadiums.[5] In Seattle, Clear is also used at sporting venues to identify an individual's identity for alcohol purchases, eliminating the need to check identification for verification that the buyer is 21+.[6]

CLEAR Biometric Boarding Pass

In 2015, CLEAR collaborated with Alaska Airlines to launch a biometric boarding pass program.[7]
