First airside CES in the USA
US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officials from the area port of Dallas, DFW airport officials and Dnata executives officially opened the nation’s first CBP centralized examination station with direct access to an airport air operations a (AOA).
This innovative setup, which traditionally takes place outside of a secure airfield environment, enables the direct transfer of cargo from airplanes to the CBP inspection facility, eliminating the need for additional transport and significantly enhancing efficiency.
The facility is strategically designed, from its location to its operational processes. With CBP officers on site, the CES ensures smooth inspections and optimal use of CBP resources. Additionally, it features the latest non-intrusive inspection technology to expedite cargo exams. (ah)
