JAA Picks Vigilant Solutions for Launching its Preferred Traveler Program

Vigilant Solutions, a premier Real-Time Location and Security Solutions provider, is pleased to announce that it will be operating the Preferred Traveler Program at Jacksonville International Airport for the next 10 years.

JACKSONVILLE, FL (PRWEB) November 2, 2006 -- Vigilant Solutions, a premier Real-Time Location and Security Solutions provider, is pleased to announce that it will be operating the Preferred Traveler Program at Jacksonville International Airport for the next 10 years.

The Preferred Traveler program at Jacksonville International Airport will have three levels; Silver, Gold and Platinum. The Silver level members will have access to a dedicated security line for speedy transit thru airport security. Gold level members will have "JAX-PASS" (which allows non-stop entry & exit) for parking, in addition to the Silver level benefits. Platinum level members will have access to the VIP lounge at the airport, scheduled to open in early 2008, in addition to the Gold level benefits.

"What we want to do is enhance the level of services we're providing to our customers," Bing Parkinson, President, JAA's Enterprise Division, said. "Travelers are spending more time at the airport. They need to spend it more effectively."

"We are very pleased to be able to support JAA in its mission to make JIA the safest and the most traveler friendly airport possible," stated John Andrews, CEO, Vigilant Solutions. "The immediate roll out of these tiered services will be a great benefit to the Northeast Florida, Southeast Georgia traveler."

Unlike at larger airports, Parkinson said, the lure of shorter security lines alone might not be enough to motivate flyer's to sign up for the program.

"We have people who travel a couple times a week," Parkinson said. "To the extent we can add services to make their stay at the airport more effective, we will."

The program will include a JAX-PASS system in the parking garages (with special entrance and exit lanes), access to a special lounge (scheduled to open in early 2008) and the ability to use a smart card to pay for purchases made at airport merchants.
