The expansion is set to create 30 new jobs, increasing CLEAR’s total local employment to over 135 positions at ATL.
This growth is also projected to raise the company’s annual economic impact in the Atlanta metro area to more than $14m. The CLEAR lanes in the domestic terminal will continue to operate as usual.
ATL was the 20th airport to adopt CLEAR’s service, which now spans across 58 airports nationwide.
The technology allows members to rapidly confirm their identity using biometric data, such as eye scans or fingerprints, thus eliminating the traditional ID check points.

In 2022, ATL, in collaboration with Southwest Airlines, began trials of self-driving robot pods to assist passengers with reduced mobility (PRM).
The electric pods, developed by Canada’s A&K Robotics, are designed to safely transport individuals with limited mobility.
