The facility aims to reduce turnaround times for international flights, and includes a private inspection space for secure and efficient passenger processing, according to a city news release. U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers manage ports of entry at airports across the country, screening both foreign visitors and returning U.S. citizens, according to its website.
“The improved customs capability enhances operational efficiency and security, and strengthens McKinney’s appeal to international business partners and corporate travelers,” Airport Director Ken Carley said in a statement. “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.”
International arrivals at the airport have grown by more than 40% in the last two years, according to the news release. The airport reported 127 international flights in fiscal year 2022-23, and the facility is projected to reach 180 by the end of fiscal year 2024-25.
