No, you do not need to bring your Global Entry card to the airport when flying. The Global Entry program uses your passport and fingerprints for identification at kiosks in the airport. Your Global Entry status is linked to your passport, making the card unnecessary for airport security and customs when flying. However, it's a good idea to carry it for land or sea border crossings as proof of your Global Entry status.
