The Akron-Canton Airport is pleased to announce a temporary Global Entry enrollment center will be hosted at the airport from May 8-10, 2018.

“Through our close relationship with the business community, we discovered local Global Entry applicants were driving up to an hour away to complete the enrollment interview,” said Rick McQueen, President & CEO of the Akron-Canton Airport. “We like to make travel easy, and this is a complimentary extension of our day-to-day mission to do so.”

The business community and frequent travelers are invited to enroll in this program to enjoy expedited clearance at select airports for approved travelers upon arrival in the United States.

On arrival to the United States, program members save time with expedited clearance through kiosks. Other benefits include no processing lines, no paperwork, access to expedited entry benefits in other countries, reduced wait times and TSA PreCheck eligibility.

Eight of CAK’s 12 nonstop destinations offer Global Entry kiosks:

• Charlotte-Douglas International Airport (CLT)
• Chicago O'Hare International Airport (ORD)
• Detroit Metropolitan Airport (DTW)
• Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL)
• Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR)
• Orlando International Airport (MCO)
• Philadelphia International Airport (PHL)
• Tampa International Airport (TPA)

Travelers must be pre-approved prior to the enrollment interview at CAK.
To ensure applications are conditionally approved in time for the available temporary enrollment center dates, please apply for Global Entry by March 27, 2018.
