The City of McKinney is opening a dedicated US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) facility at McKinney National airport. This milestone significantly enhances the Texan airport's role as an international gateway and positions McKinney for continued economic growth.

Over the past two years, international arrivals at McKinney have surged by more than 40 per cent, growing from 127 in Fiscal Year 2023 to a projected 180 by the end of Fiscal Year 2025. This steady rise reflects the airport's increasing importance in serving global business and private aviation.

The new facility includes: private inspection space for secure and efficient passenger processing; dedicated CBP officer coordination to streamline operations; and secure entry infrastructure that reduces turnaround times for international flights.

“This is more than a building, it's a gateway to opportunity,” says Mayor Bill Cox. “The new customs facility gives McKinney National Airport the capacity and credibility to attract more international travellers and corporate aviation, which drives local business growth and investment.”

“The improved customs capability enhances operational efficiency and security, and strengthens McKinney's appeal to international business partners and corporate travellers,” remarks airport director Ken Carley. “With modern infrastructure in place, the airport is now equipped to accommodate even greater levels of international traffic without compromising the speed or quality of service passengers have come to expect.”
