Clearing foreign cargo at Chennault Intl Airport
A long-standing major player in commercial and military MRO services, Chennault International Airport in Lake Charles, Louisiana, is seeking to add air cargo to its portfolio. The airport has established procedures with US Customs and Border Protection enabling 24/7/365 clearance of select international aircraft at the growing airport.
Combined with its new air cargo facility that can be designated to receive international freight, Chennault continues to refine and expand its commercial capabilities.
The agreement with CBP allows for the clearance into USA of foreign aircraft, crews, and air cargo utilising the existing CBP Lake Charles Port of Entry. Foreign air cargo flights as well as maintenance-bound aircraft and crews may now enter the United States at Chennault. (cj)
