Global Entry kiosks to help cut queues at San José International Airport


Global Entry kiosks
Travellers who have signed up to the Global Entry programme will be able to use the dedicated kiosks in the International Arrivals facility at San José International Airport.

San José International Airport (SJC) has installed two Global Entry kiosks in the International Arrivals hall to help cut queues at the customs checkpoint.

Travellers who have pre-registered for the Global Entry programme can use the kiosks to scan their e-passport or U.S. Permanent Resident Card, provide their fingerprints and make a customs declaration, which then allows them to bypass the queues to see a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agent.

The airport’s Director of Aviation, Kim Becker Aguirre, said: “Our international Arrivals facility serves up to 600 international arriving passengers a day on All Nippon Airways from Tokyo, Alaska Airlines from Cabo San Lucas and Guadalajara, and Volaris from Guadalajara.

“As SJC’s international passenger activity continues to grow, Global Entry is one solution to expediting travellers and enhancing their experience as they end their journey in San José.”

The installation of the two Global Entry kiosks is the latest initiative to cut queues for passengers at San José International Airport, and follows the introduction of dedicated fast track security lanes for CLEAR members last September.
