Delta Air Lines Inc. is paying for the automated-passport machines that are coming to New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport in an effort to cut wait times that can reach five hours for travelers from abroad.
JFK’s status as the busiest U.S. entry point for international passengers makes it a particular concern, according to the Global Gateway Alliance, a trade organization advocating for improvements at New York’s airports. The group welcomed U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s disclosure Sept. 25 that the airport would get automated passport control.
