The National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) has created a new resource that details critical port-of-entry information at more than 300 general aviation (GA) airports across America.
The new GA Airport Fact Sheet tool collates hundreds of airport fact sheets created by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). These fact sheets include office hours, service hours for entrance and clearance, contact information, permission to land procedures, and information about the inspection process for GA aircraft entering the U.S., according to NBAA officials.
“One of the biggest issues clearing customs for the GA community is that no two ports of entry are exactly alike. There are many nuances in the procedures and processing standards at each airport, and that can be challenging when clearing customs, especially if you regularly use different airports as your entry point to the U.S.,” said Brian Koester, NBAA director, flight operations and regulations.
NBAA officials said they will update the archive regularly as CBP revises and releases new fact sheets. The tool is planned to be a temporary resource and will redirect users to CBP’s official website once it is active.
