The Chattanooga Airport has opened a global entry enrollment center designed to make the international travel process more convenient for local travelers.
The global entry program allows preapproved international travelers to speed up their entry into the U.S. through streamlined customs clearance, according to a press release from the airport. With this new center, applicants can complete their enrollment process without leaving Chattanooga.
Overseen by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the program is geared toward frequent international travelers and simplifies that arrival process at most U.S. airports.

The new center provides travelers in the Chattanooga region with easier access to global entry enrollment, airport officials said, which eliminates the need to travel to other airports for the in-person interview part of the application process.
