The airports include San Francisco International Airport (SFO), Kansas City International Airport (MCI), Greater Rochester International Airport (ROC), Jackson Hole Airport (JAC), Tupelo Regional Airport (TUP), Sioux Falls Regional Airport (FSD), and Key West International Airport (EYW).

The SPP also involves eight other airports in Montana, US.

TSA’s SPP is designed to meet the requirements established in the Aviation and Transportation Security Act (ATSA) of 2001.

ATSA required TSA to carry out a screening partnership pilot programme at five airports in the country from 2002.

Since the conclusion of the pilot programme in 2004, all commercial airports have been eligible to apply to SPP.
