“Airside service from ACY is a glimpse at the future of travel that Landline is creating, in which ground transportation is fully integrated into the travel day,” said Landline Co-founder and CEO David Sunde. “We are excited to offer customers a more convenient experience to clear security at their local airport and arrive airside at our Philadelphia hub with a seamless connection to our global network.” “We are thankful to the TSA, our regulatory and airport partners, and Landline for the collective partnership and work to achieve this first-of-its-kind milestone,” said American’s Vice President of Corporate Security Gary Tomasulo. “We have put in numerous security requirements for the bus operators and all airline personnel to ensure robust security protocols are followed at all times.”
“This program streamlines the passenger experience and enables travelers to seamlessly travel out of a large international airport conveniently by going through our security screening process from a smaller international airport,” said Thomas Carter, TSA’s Federal Security Director for the New Jersey. Customers will arrive at a terminal gate at Philadelphia International Airport and proceed straight to their connecting flight without having to go back through security screening. The program has been operating in a curb-to-curb manner since June 2022, and now offers airside-to-airside motorcoach operations.īeginning this week, customers are able to arrive at ACY, check-in with American, clear security at their local airport like any other flight, and then board their coach on the secure side of the terminal. The program, which launched this week, allows American Airlines customers traveling on Landline-operated motorcoaches from ACY to fly out of Philadelphia. The program enables travelers from Atlantic City Interntional Airport (ACY) to be screened by TSA and be transported by bus directly to a gate inside Philadelphia International Airport’s (PHL) secure area to catch a flight to their destination without being rescreened at Philadelphia. ATLANTIC CITY, N.J.-The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has issued a short term security program amendment to assess the security effectiveness of an industry-first program transporting by bus screened passengers, their carry-on items and their checked baggage from the secured area of Atlantic City International Airport into the secured area of Philadelphia International Airport (PHL).
