Georgetown Aviation Services can now accept international aircraft arrivals as the result of a recent arrangement between Delaware Coastal Airport (KGED) and US Customs and Border Protection (CBP).
Though CBP does not have a facility at the general aviation airport, the new arrangement allows for international flights to receive customs clearance as long as this service is requested with 72-hour’s notice prior to their arrival.
“This new service is a great addition for the airport and adds a new level of convenience for our based customers and transient arrivals,” said Garrett Dernoga, owner of Georgetown Air Services. “This development, combined with the recent runway extension and upgraded approach lighting, are examples of how Georgetown Air Service and Delaware Coastal Airport are continuously taking steps to improve our offering to benefit aircraft operators and passengers.”
End user fees for customs clearance and international trash disposal are assessed to the aircraft operator.
Delaware Coastal Airport, dedicated to general aviation, is located East of Georgetown, in southern Delaware and near the metropolitan markets of Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia, and New York. Georgetown Air Services is the airport’s fixed-based operator (FBO).
