McKinney National Airport has recently inaugurated a dedicated U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) facility, marking a significant advancement in the city’s international connectivity and economic development.
Enhancing International Access
The new CBP facility enables direct international arrivals, streamlining the process for global business and private aviation. Over the past two years, the airport has experienced a 40% increase in international arrivals, reflecting its growing importance as an international gateway.
Facility Features
The 3,200-square-foot facility includes private inspection areas, dedicated CBP officer coordination, and secure entry infrastructure, all designed to reduce turnaround times for international flights. This development is part of a broader $79 million expansion project aimed at accommodating commercial service by late 2026.
Community Impact
Mayor Bill Cox emphasized the facility’s role as a “gateway to opportunity,” enhancing McKinney’s appeal to international travelers and corporate aviation, thereby driving local business growth and investment. Airport Director Ken Carley highlighted the improved operational efficiency and security, positioning the airport to handle increased international traffic without compromising service quality.
