Shannon’s CBP
Spread the Word. The new US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) facilities at Shannon Airport saves time, cost and opens up great opportunities.

Shannon Airport is the first airport in the world, outside of the Americas, to provide full US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) pre-clearance facilities to airlines travelling to the USA.

It means that the new facility allows airlines, and their passengers, to fly from Shannon Airport to any airport they choose in the USA, pre-clearing all formalities for US Immigration, Customs and Agriculture. It saves time and cost and opens up great opportunities. Spread the Word!

The Benefits of CBP for AIRLINES

• Airlines can land at any US airport and use domestic terminals on arrival, thereby reducing their costs.
• Airlines can avoid congestion and delays at international terminals – saving time and maximizing aircraft utilisation.
• Airlines can develop and create new routing opportunities directly and with airline partners.
• Shannon provides new hub opportunities for airlines, supporting increased load factors and yields.
• Shannon reduces the connecting time for airline passengers travelling onward within the United States.
• Shannon provides secure and efficient entry process to the USA.
• Shannon Airport has dedicated facilities for all commercial, technical transit and business jet operations, so it’s all seamless at Shannon Airport, while conferring all the advantages of CBP 

The Benefits of CBP for PASSENGERS

• Passengers using the CBP facilities clear the United States Customs and Immigration formalities at Shannon Airport. This means they arrive in the United States as domestic passengers. For business and leisure travelers, this is a faster process, and adds greatly to the appeal of Shannon.
• No changing terminals from international to domestic for connecting passengers.
• The shorter connecting times mean passengers reach their final destination earlier.
• Baggage can be checked through to the final destination – no pick up/drop off requirement.

Overall, the new CBP facility provides clear commercial, corporate, tourism, cargo and aviation-related opportunities. It also makes the Region even more attractive as a headquarter location for U.S. and EU organisations.
