The Scottsdale Airport celebrated a new record for\nprocessing international aircraft last week with its 2,000th flight completed\nduring this Federal fiscal year (Oct. 1 \u2013 Sept. 30, 2022).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If this pace keeps up, especially as the airport enters its\nhigher operational months, the city projects ending the year with about 2,090\naircrafts. This is leaps and bounds ahead of the 490 aircraft processed in\n2012\/13. Scottsdale has offered U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP)\nthrough a user fee service since 2000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cScottsdale Airport is a viable customs processing\ndestination,\u201d says Gary P. Mascaro, aviation director. \u201cWe strive to offer a\ngreat customer service experience, which is made possible thanks to our\npartnership with CBP.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The bulk of users into Scottsdale originate from Canada and\nMexico, but Scottsdale serves as a gateway to visitors from all over the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Through the years, new initiatives have been implemented:\nthe Customs service hours and days were expanded, we added an additional\nOfficer to meet the demand, and an online payment system was recently\nactivated. Since executing these initiatives, there has been a steady increase\nin CBP\u2019s processing over the years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe historic number of international flights processed at\nScottsdale Airport demonstrates the successful partnership between U.S. Customs\nand Border Protection (CBP) and Scottsdale Airport.\u201d says Port Director Chris\nLeon. \u201cCBP looks forward to supporting the growth of international trade and\ntravel, a great benefit to the U.S. economy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
