Bad news for trans-Atlantic operators!<\/strong> The Customs office at KBGR\/Bangor Airport will now be closing each night from 22-06 local time (02-10z).<\/p>\n

They used to be open H24, which made Bangor a great option for trans-Atlantic operators wanting to clear U.S. Customs somewhere nice and straightforward overnight. Now with the new changes, you can still request overtime, but Customs needs 24hrs notice to arrange and will only assess on a case-by-case basis.<\/p>\n

Now it seems that the nearest airport in the region still with Customs available H24 is KBOS\/Boston International Airport, and given it’s size, it’s not the most BA\/GA friendly at the best of times.<\/p>\n

Where else to go? Here are some options:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

KALB\/Albany
\n<\/strong>Open 08-22 local time, 7 days a week
\nAvailable out-of-hours but minimum 2hrs notice required.<\/p>\n

KPSM\/Portsmouth<\/strong>
\nOpen 08-17 weekdays only
\nAvailable out-of-hours but minimum 24hrs notice required.<\/p>\n

KPWM\/Portland<\/strong>
\nOpen 07-21 local time, 7 days a week
\nAvailable out-of-hours but minimum 24hrs notice required.<\/p>\n

Know of anywhere else in the region which provides Customs H24? If we missed somewhere obvious, let us know!<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
