Gateside by TSA PreCheck Opens Post-Security Access at 13 U.S. Airports

TSA is piloting Gateside by TSA PreCheck, a complimentary benefit that lets eligible PreCheck members enter secure post-security areas without a flight to greet someone or spend time during layovers. The pilot covers 13 airports (LIT, CMH, DFW, DTW, IND, LAS, LAX, AZA, OKC, OMA, SLC, SAN, ICT) with plans to add more. Access is arranged via login.gov through a Gateside portal; applications must be completed no earlier than 3 days and no later than 1 day before the requested visit date and are available only to TSA PreCheck members or Known Traveler Numbers. The program is currently in the pilot phase and aims for broader rollout if successful.

Airlines Push for Removal of Semi-Private Carrier JSX from Airports

Major airlines and their labor unions are pressuring the federal government and airports to shut down premium air carrier JSX, which operates semi-private flights with Embraer ERJ-145 regional jets. The airlines argue that JSX's use of recently-retired senior captains and co-pilots with fewer hours undermines the profession and that the carrier poses a competitive threat. JSX has faced opposition from airlines and airports, with some airports refusing them access to private terminals and major carriers seeking to limit their operations. The situation highlights the political means through which airlines are attempting to eliminate competition in the U.S. aviation industry.
