TSA's 'Families On The Fly' Arrives In Rhode Island

Rhode Island T. F. Green International Airport has launched dedicated family lanes to "recognize the unique challenges parents and their children may face when traveling and minimize their stress while maintaining the highest level of security," according to the Transportation Security Administration.

The initiative is part of the TSA's "Families on the Fly" campaign, the administration said in a media release.

“When families come to Rhode Island T.F. Green International Airport (PVD) and enter one of our TSA security checkpoints, they will have a dedicated lane specific to them,” TSA Federal Security Director for Rhode Island Daniel Burche said in the release.

“I’m pleased we now have the added ability to streamline their screening process and make the airport experience more enjoyable,” Burche said.

Orlando International, Charlotte-Douglas International, John Wayne Orange County Airport, Daniel K. Inouye International Airport, Jacksonville International, Will Rogers International Airport and Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport also participate in “Families on the Fly" and there are"plans in the near future to offer special family lanes at other select airports across the nation," the release said.
