Akron-Canton Airport invites the community to enroll in the popular TSA PreCheck expedited screening program February 6, 2017 through February 10, 2017. The screening program will be held in the public conference rooms at the Akron-Canton Airport.

TSA PreCheck is an expedited screening program that enables identified low-risk air travelers to enjoy a smart and more efficient screening experience. For TSA PreCheck travelers, there is no need to remove shoes, 3-1-1 liquids, laptops, light outerwear or belts. Today, TSA PreCheck has more than 450 lanes at 167 U.S. airports.

Applying for TSA PreCheck through CAK's local enrollment event is easy. First, applicants should pre-enroll ahead of time by simply clicking here, choose “Pre-Enroll” then “Apply Now” and fill out steps 1 through 4. Once at step 4 of 4, type in your location “Akron, OH” and then be sure to choose “5400 Lauby Rd”.
