Air Canada offers access to TSA PreCheck program

Air Canada customers flying from the U.S. can now get electronic boarding passes at U.S. airports, simplifying the check-in and boarding process while providing easier access to the TSA PreCheck program, which allows pre-approved travellers to pass through security more quickly.

The PreCheck program allows low-risk travellers to experience faster security screening at U.S. airport checkpoints for domestic and international travel. Among those eligible for the program are Canadian citizens who belong to NEXUS. Air Canada is the only foreign airline qualified for PreCheck.

Electronic boarding passes are now or soon-to-be available for all 52 U.S. airports that Air Canada serves, allowing customers to complete their web check-in and obtain their boarding pass via e-mail or text message on their smartphone. Customers who are eligible for pre-check will no longer be required to print their boarding pass at the airport.
