Let’s talk about how Chennault can meet your air cargo needs.
INTERNATIONAL EASE
International flights can clear U.S. Customs at Chennault International Airport.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection provides import and export clearance for select aircraft, crews, and air cargo utilizing existing CBP staff in Lake Charles.
Chennault will interface with Customs on behalf of industry partners to secure international clearances and front the corresponding costs for the service. Customs has agreed to respond with its local personnel to permit applicable international arrivals and departures on a scheduled basis.
“It was important for Chennault to formalize this relationship with U.S. Customs to ensure these foreign clearance capabilities,” says Chennault Executive Director Kevin Melton.
Establishing foreign clearance capabilities is among the steps Chennault is taking to enable commercial flight activity.
MEANINGFUL INCENTIVES
Chennault is fully committed to working closely with air cargo stakeholders to mitigate new market entry costs. Landing fee waivers are part of the package for airlines that partner with Chennault.
