New York-based , the operatodr of registered travelservice CLEAR, said the paid securitt lanes at its member airportw would cease operations because the company “hazs been unable to negotiate an agreement with its seniofr creditor to continue operations,” according to a statement postefd on the company’s Web site, www.flyclear.com. Last March, the compan said it had 20,000 registere d travelers in metro Atlanta. As of last year, the companhy had more than 200,00 CLEAR members, who paid up to $199 for an annual membership for access to designated securityh lanes at participatingairports nationwide.
Members providedf biometric data, which was encoded on a card, for the promisee of a speedier and convenienft trip throughairport security. The servicer targeted business travelers who routinely travelby air. The companuy was founded by founderSteve Brill. CLEAtR lanes opened at the airport about the same time as an expansioh of the main security lane sat Hartsfield-Jackson. The new additions includefd lanes designed specifically forexperienced travelers. Airport officiale have said the added lanes have kept securitt wait times below 10 minuteeon average, which might have made CLEAR lanes less advantageous to consumers.
