In the latest episode of Forever Forward℠ at DFW, American’s Chief Security
Officer Gary Tomasulo and U.S Customs and Border Protection Area Port Director
of Dallas Fort Worth International Airport Jay Ahern share how strong
partnerships are transforming one of the world’s busiest international gateways
— and American’s largest and most important hub — setting a new standard for
secure and smooth travel.
From cutting wait times to rethinking how international passengers connect,
programs like Enhanced Passenger Processing (EPP),
One Stop Security, International Remote Baggage Screening, Mobile Passport
Control and TSA PreCheck® Touchless ID are making travel
faster and easier. Fewer lines, fewer touchpoints and more biometric,
touchless moments are all designed to keep customers moving while safely and
securely enhancing the travel experience. Watch their conversation to see
how DFW is on the cutting edge of what a seamless airport security
experience can look like.
Forever Forward℠ at DFW is American’s
new shortform video series that takes viewers behind the scenes of the
multiyear modernization across DFW. As American’s hometown airport and
largest hub, DFW hosts more passengers than any other airport in the airline’s
network. American is investing billions of dollars to modernize and strengthen
its flagship hub, delivering a much smoother experience for our customers and
team members, providing more certainty with their schedules and connections and
improving DFW’s resilience to handle severe weather and other disruptions.
Forever Forward℠ at DFW showcases the exciting updates customers will see
over the next several years and is part of American’s long-standing commitment
to Texas and the many communities in the airline’s network, bringing customers
along as milestones land.
