Business travelers arriving on international flights at the Akron-Canton Airport now have an easier entry into the country.
The airport last month opened the new $3.65 million customs & border patrol facility that will act as its own terminal for overseas passengers.
CEO Rick McQueen says the service makes it easier for local companies to do business internationally.
“Any business that may be working with a facility that’s in Canada, Mexico or from a foreign country, they can land here, they can go conduct their business, they can come back and then they can head home. So, I think it’s nice for the whole Northeast Ohio region.”
McQueen says the new terminal will serve Fortune 500 companies that rent space at Akron-Canton.
The U.S. customs facility is the airport’s latest addition to the $110 million CAK 2018 capital improvement plan.
