Optimize your arrival at Addison Airport (IATA: ADS, ICAO: KADS) with trusted permit support from Just Aviation

Addison Airport (KADS) operates as a designated user fee airport under [19 CFR 122.1(m); 122.15], offering CBP inspection services Monday through Friday from 1000 to 1900 CST. Operators must secure permission to land no later than one hour before departure from the foreign port of origin. Once granted, the arrival clearance allows for a 30-minute tolerance window on either side of the ETA. If arrival deviates beyond that range, the clearance becomes void, and the operator must contact CBP to revalidate the permission.

Upon landing, aircraft are required to proceed to the designated Customs Ramp for inspection. The airport control tower may assist with routing as needed. A CBP officer will typically be waiting at the ramp and will direct passengers and crew to the CBP office for processing. Facial recognition is now implemented at KADS, making it mandatory for all individuals to enter the inspection facility, even if prior clearance was obtained.

During the inspection process, passengers and crew must present the following documents:

• Valid passports
• Applicable visas
• Pilot’s license
• Medical certificate
• Aircraft registration
• User fee decal (if applicable)
• Overflight exemption, if required

CBP may also inspect the aircraft and baggage, and any regulated garbage from the flight must be turned over at the Customs Ramp for proper disposal.

For operations outside of normal business hours—including Saturdays, Sundays, and federal holidays—landing rights are available strictly by appointment. These must be arranged by contacting the Addison CBP Officer before 1630 CST on the last working weekday (usually Friday). No same-day or weekend/holiday requests will be accepted beyond that deadline. Appointments missed or not secured in advance will not be accommodated. After-hours services are billed to the operator via Addison Airport.
