Following a joint meeting with Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Janet Napolitano, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Commissioner Alan Bersin and TSA Administrator John Pistole, Delta Air Lines said that it is launching a customer and employee outreach campaign touting the benefits the DHS Global Entry program offers international travelers re-entering the United States.

The Global Entry program offers citizens and permanent residents of the United States expedited processing through both customs and immigration, significantly reducing overall wait time for re-entry into the country. The program pre-approves and pre-screens international travelers who apply online and complete a background check followed by an interview conducted by a CBP officer. Delta is publicizing the benefits in its in-flight magazine, “Sky,” as well as in onboard videos, emails and on its website. In partnership with DHS, Delta's outreach efforts will extend to its corporate customer base through the development of programs offering onsite processing of Global Entry applications for companies. Delta's more than 70,000 employees also will be provided access to onsite processing in coming months and opportunities for enrollment of flight crews are being explored.
