UAS adds five airports to US CBP RSP offering
UAS can now request and pay for CBP overtime services at another five approved US entry ports in Seattle, Minnesota, California, Idaho and Montana, where the hours of operation are limited.

UAS International Trip Support (UAS) has added five airports to its US Customs and Border Protection's Reimbursable Services Program (RSP) offering: King County International - Boeing Field (KBFI) in Seattle, Washington; Minneapolis St Paul International (KMSP) in Minnesota; Oakland San Francisco Bay (KOAK) in California; Boise Air Terminal Gowen Field (KBOI) in Idaho; and Great Falls International (KGTF) in Montana.

Having introduced the program to its portfolio of trip support services back in October 2023, these latest additions bring the total number of UAS RSP airports to 35.

As a member of the US CBP RSP, UAS can request and pay for CBP overtime services at approved US entry ports where the hours of operation are limited. This greatly enhances operational flexibility and efficiency for its clients by empowering flights from overseas to directly reach their preferred destination on their preferred schedule, rather than being bound by CBP designated hours.

“Our clients appreciate the extra flexibility and freedom they enjoy through our RSP service offering,” says EVP Americas Abdul Charafeddin. “Our Houston team is standing by to make their operations even more efficient and seamless. And as experts in US Customs and Border Protection procedures, we will ensure compliance and mitigate any impediments or challenges that could impact operations.”
