NBAA enhances airport facts with near-real-time CBP updates
An updated online tool provides members with faster access to changing customs procedures and airport information.
The database refreshes almost immediately when CBP updates customs procedures or operational information for US ports of entry.

In conjunction with its 2026 International Operators Conference (IOC2026) in San Diego, California, the National Business Aviation Association has unveiled an updated version of its GA Airport Fact Sheet resource for members.

The online resource supports companies operating international missions requiring US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) services. It compiles information from hundreds of airport fact sheets produced by CBP.

The resource has been enhanced so that information is updated in near-real time. It is now automatically refreshed almost immediately whenever new or updated details are received from CBP about changing customs requirements and procedures.

“The particulars about customs services vary from one airport to another, with no two ports of entry alike,” says Doug Carr, senior vice president of safety, security, sustainability and international affairs at NBAA. “This members-only resource, which is sortable by airport name, ICAO code, state and update timestamp, is now even more valuable, providing the latest information as soon as NBAA receives it from CBP. Members can quickly compare available services at different airports and make informed decisions about their international planning.”

Information available through the resource includes hours of service at CBP facilities for entrance and clearance, permission-to-land procedures, inspection processes, contact information for CBP officers and airport staff and special procedures for a specific airport.

NBAA says the resource helps members research and plan international flights, select suitable ports of entry and follow airport customs procedures to avoid delays and support smooth operations for passengers and crew.

“We are pleased to offer this resource with the most up-to-date information published on GA customs facilities,” adds Carr. “These new, real-time updates further reinforce NBAA's commitment to delivering timely, actionable information that supports all business aircraft operations, including those with an international profile.”
