CBP at CWF


Chennault International Airport (CWF) in Lake Charles, LA, has signed a MoU with US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to enable regular clearance of select international aircraft. The agreement allows for the clearance into USA of foreign crews and air cargo utilising the existing CBP staff based in Lake Charles.

 

Executive director Kevin Melton: "Our Gulf Coast location makes us an ideal airport for these aircraft to enter USA." A longstanding expert in commercial and military MRO work, the former all-military airfield seeks to add air cargo to its portfolio.

 

Establishing foreign clearance capabilities is among the steps it is taking to enable commercial flight activity. Chennault also completed USD 4 million air cargo facility that can be separately certified by CBP to receive international cargo. (ah)
