As of today, international business flights arriving at New York’s Westchester County Airport (KHPN) have their choice of FBOs at which to clear U.S. Customs. Previously, all flights were required to first stop and clear at the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) office in Signature Aviation’s west terminal, but with the start of a pilot program, aircraft can now be met by U.S. Customs officers on the ramp of their preferred FBO and be processed onboard with mobile technology.

According to the CBP, KHPN sees approximately 300 international arrivals a month. “There was a long-standing relationship between Signature West and Customs,” said Million Air KHPN general manager Lauren Rones-Payne. “The Customs office was built there, and it really then locked in the international traveler to clear U.S. Customs on their ramp, and after over 20 years there is now a new program that allows travelers to choose the FBO of their choice.”
