SkyTeam Members’ Premium Travelers Speed through Narita International Airport

First SkyPriority-branded fast-track security lane opens, enhances airport experience

AMSTERDAM, 2013-03-07 — /travelprnews.com/ — A new SkyPriority fast-track security lane has opened at Tokyo’s Narita International Airport, offering SkyTeam’s premium customers a speedier airport experience from checking-in to boarding the plane.  The dedicated security lane is located behind an easily identifiable, SkyPriority-branded wall. Available exclusively to Elite Plus, First and Business Class customers flying from Terminal 1-North, it is one of a number of benefits available as part of SkyTeam’s alliance-wide SkyPriority initiative: red carpet treatment for top customers.

SkyPriority was launched at Narita in March last year. In addition to fast-track security clearance, eligible customers enjoy priority services such as: dedicated check-in desks; priority boarding and baggage collection; and priority at transfer and ticket desks.  With SkyPriority, SkyTeam is the only airline alliance to deliver consistent priority airport services across the globe. By the end of 2013, the program will be rolled-out to all of SkyTeam’s 1,000 destinations worldwide.

“Our new SkyPriority security entrance is the first of its kind in SkyTeam’s global network and we’re delighted to offer our top customers at Narita a quicker and easier journey through the airport,” said Gordon Humpherys, SkyTeam’s Vice President Airport Services. “SkyPriority is part of our on-going effort to improve the customer experience, and a prime example of how our members are working together extensively to bring greater benefits to our customers.”
