Customs facility now at PNS

PENSACOLA, Fla. — The U.S. Customs and Border Protection facility opened Monday at Pensacola International Airport (PNS). The new facility will process international passengers coming into the airport on private flights, typically for corporate business. Previously, Border Patrol agents were on-call employees, which caused problems when processing international passengers. Agents will now work full-time. While only private international flights fly into PNS at this time, airport director Matt Coughlin said negotiations are in the works with commercial international airlines. (Source: WKRG, 09/19/22)
