The checkpoint is equipped with standard screening equipment, including X-ray machines and metal detectors. Passengers are advised to arrive at the airport at least 90 minutes before their scheduled departure time to allow enough time for security screening.

Fast Track Lanes and Locations

CMI does not currently offer fast track lanes for expedited security screening. However, passengers who require special assistance or have medical conditions may request assistance from the TSA Cares program. This program provides additional support and expedited screening for eligible passengers.

Passport & Immigration Control Locations

Willard Airport does not have international flights and therefore does not have passport and immigration control locations. All flights departing from Champaign Airport are domestic flights within the United States. However, passengers are still required to present valid government-issued identification, such as a driver's license or passport, at the security checkpoint and at the gate.

TSA and TSA Pre Checkpoints

CMI Airport has TSA and TSA Pre Checkpoints available for passengers. TSA Pre Check is a program that allows eligible passengers to enjoy expedited security screening, which means they can keep their shoes, belts, and light jackets on, and their laptops and liquids in their carry-on bags. To be eligible for TSA Pre Check, passengers must apply and be approved through the TSA Pre Check application program. TSA Pre Check is available at select airports across the United States, including the airport.
