frequent flyer who have elite status flight designations with airlines will be able to use a special lane to get through security screening.
In addition, business travelers who have premium prepaid monthly parking at the airport will also be able to take advantage of the faster security lines.
“We think this new customer service program will be a welcome addition at JAX,” said Michael Stewart, JAA Director of External Affair. “The new security express lane will be especially good news to our frequent business travelers.” JAA will announce the start date soon.
JAA is also planning to re-institute the registered traveler program once a contractor can be identified. The program will allow travelers without a preferred or elite airline designation to pay an annual fee to access the preferred security lane. When the service would be expanded to these users is unknown, and Stewart estimated it would cost $75 to $150 annually.

Delta airlines flights price Increase
The major U.S. airlines will Increase fares for the seventh time this year, following a $10 round-trip price increase by United Continental Holdings Inc. and a rival carrier delta airlines move to recalibrate pricing.
Fare experts said Delta started the latest increase on Monday, which was matched immediately by American and a day later by United, Continental and US Airways.
Delta airlines confirmed the price hike but declined to give a reason. United, Continental and US Airways confirmed that they too raised prices.
FareCompare.com Chief Executive Rick Seaney on Tuesday said he expected Delta to come back with a $10 match, followed by US Airways. And Delta and US Airways indeed matched the $10 hike shortly after noon today.
American Airlines spokesman Ed Martelle said the increases covered first-class, business-class and tickets purchased up to seven days before travel. Flights up to 500 miles were boosted $20 each way, those from 501 to 1,500 miles were raised $40 each way, and flights longer than 1,500 miles increased by $60 each way, he said.
Rick Seaney, CEO of FareCompare.com said low-fare airlines wouldn't be able to block this increase because the tickets are sold at prices far higher than the discount carriers were already charging.
Airlines also claim that demand for leisure travel will be hurt if passenger fees for security and airport improvements are raised, as President Barack Obama proposed in his budget this week.
The proposed increases would add a few dollars per flight to the cost of a ticket, but Baker said it could reduce revenue especially at airlines such as Southwest, which cater to price-conscious travelers.
