(CNN) Seattle-Tacoma International Airport is restarting a program that allows people to go through security and meet loved ones at the gate without purchasing a ticket. The Port of Seattle is set to officially announce the SEA Visitor Pass program in a Monday news conference, Sea-Tac Airport spokesman Perry Cooper said. The program builds off of last year's six-week pilot program that allowed non-ticketed guests to go through security and reach the airport gates. "It's been 17 years since anyone without a ticket has been able to enjoy areas of the airport beyond security," Port of Seattle Commissioner Ryan Calkins said at the time. In all, 1,165 people took advantage of the pilot program last year, the port said.
