Blacklane, the global chauffeur service, has launched a partnership with CLEAR, the secure identity company, to provide travellers with a premium, VIP layer of the home-to-gate airport journey.
The collaboration was unveiled at the 2026 South by Southwest (SXSW) conference during a panel hosted by Blacklane focused on how the luxury industry is redefining its purpose in the age of AI.
“In an AI-driven world, the role of luxury isn’t to replace the human touch, it’s to elevate it,” said Kasra Moshkani, CEO Americas, Blacklane. “At Blacklane, technology removes friction from travel so our guests can focus on what matters most. Together with CLEAR, we’re extending personalized service to the very start of the airport journey. With a professional chauffeur guiding travelers from pickup to drop-off and CLEAR’s Concierge services ensuring a smooth transition through security and the terminal, every step is effortless. This partnership sets a new standard for frictionless travel.”
The partnership will offer travellers a premium VIP airport experience from airport transfer booking to gate. Together, the two companies are creating an end-to-end travel experience that pairs CLEAR Concierge with Blacklane’s luxury chauffeur service.
The initiative will roll out in April to select Blacklane guests and CLEAR+ Members with expansion expected later this year.
