Democratic Sen. Charles Schumer is asking CBP to help develop a customs facility at MacArthur Airport in his home state of New York, a move he says would increase airport traffic and give local residents easier access to international flights. The Long Island airport is developing a plan to retrofit its current facilities to allow for flights from certain international destinations to land, Schumer said in a June 12 statement (here). That plan must be approved by CBP. “A customs facility at MacArthur could be a magnet for new carriers, helping the airport regain some of its lost flights and giving Long Islanders direct access to some of the most popular tourist destinations,” said Schumer. “The feds can make this happen, and I’m asking them to work hand-in-glove with the local airport authorities to produce a plan and get it through the approval process.”
