New York-based , the operatod of registered travelservice CLEAR, said the paid securitgy lanes at its member airports woulrd cease operations because the company “has been unable to negotiatd an agreement with its seniodr creditor to continue operations,” according to a statement postedd on the company’s Web site, Last March, the company said it had 20,000 registered travelers in metroo Atlanta. As of last year, the company had more than 200,00p CLEAR members, who paid up to $199 for an annualk membership for access to designated security lanes at participatingairports nationwide.
Members provided biometric data, which was encodexd on a card, for the promise of a speediee and convenient trip throughairport security. The service targeted business traveleres who routinely travelby air. The company was founded by founder Steve Brill. CLEAR lanes opened at the airport about the same time as an expansion of the main securitu lanesat Hartsfield-Jackson. The new additions included lanes designed specifically forexperienced travelers. Airport officialse have said the added lanes have kept securitg wait times below 10 minutes on which might have made CLEAR lanes less advantageousato consumers.
