Customs kiosks land at Pittsburgh International

January 15, 2014

Two Global Entry kiosks will be deployed at the Pittsburgh International Airport to speed customs processing for low-risk international travelers, according to an article on Airport World.

Passengers enrolled in Global Entry will be able to process their entry into the U.S. via the kiosks using their machine-readable passport. Once the passport is scanned, the passenger is prompted to use the fingerprint identification scanner and make a customs declaration. They are then issued a receipt and directed through the checkpoint.

"With the installation of the Global Entry Kiosks at Pittsburgh International, we have taken another step forward in our efforts to think and act globally so we can enhance access to thousands of international travellers a year," said Rich Fitzgerald, Allegheny County executive, in the article. "Pittsburgh continues to be an international destination for business and leisure travellers, and the installation of these kiosks supports that trend."
