Business and general aviation customs clearances at Vancouver International Airport (CYVR) in British Columbia, Canada, are now available from any of the airport’s three FBOs: Signature Flight Support, Million Air, and Skyservice. The formal general aviation customs facility, operated by the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), has not been readily available since maintenance and upgrades have been underway at the airport.

“This summer, in collaboration with CBSA, the airport adjusted the customs clearance process for international passenger arrivals at Airport South to enable a streamlined customs process for general aviation and business aviation, as well as charter operations,” an airport spokesperson told AIN. “Obtaining clearances at the CBSA facility was more rigid, time-consuming, and lacked the amenities and privacy of FBOs.”
