SUMMARY:
Pensacola International Airport is designated as a Landing Rights Facility with the United States Customs and Border Protection Agency (CBP). As such, aircraft operators flying into the United States from international points of origin may request CBP's permission to land and clear Customs at Pensacola. Given the growth in the number of individuals requesting permission to land at Pensacola, CBP indicated a requirement for a formal general aviation processing facility where they can have the equipment available to handle arriving flight crew and passengers appropriately.
The Notice To Proceed for construction of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) General Aviation Processing Facility (GAF) was issued on October 26, 2020, to Birkshire Johnstone, LLC. The CBP GAF is scheduled for completion in September 2021. In order to establish the operating and financial framework for both parties, a lease between the parties is required.
CBP provided to Airport Staff its standard lease form setting up the terms and conditions for the facility's use. The initial term is for one (1) year with automatic successive twelve (12) month renewal periods for a maximum of nineteen (19) renewals.
