Expert Handling of Landing Permits at Long Island MacArthur Airport (ISP) by Just Aviation

Operators planning to arrive at Long Island MacArthur Airport (KISP) must obtain landing permission from CBP via email at least 24 hours before their expected arrival and prior to departure from the foreign location. Permission to land allows a ±60-minute window around the estimated time of arrival (ETA); any deviation beyond this requires operators to resecure approval. Required documentation includes passports, visas, pilot’s license, medical certificates, aircraft registration, and user fee decal when applicable.

Upon arrival, the KISP Control Tower will direct foreign aircraft to the CBP facility adjacent to the Modern Aviation building. CBP officers will meet the aircraft on the ramp to initiate inspections. Neither passengers nor crew should leave the aircraft area until escorted. All individuals will be processed inside the CBP facility, where operators and passengers must present their relevant documents for clearance.

Landing permission is granted solely through CBP officer confirmation, either verbally or via email. General aviation aircraft passenger counts are limited to 20 unless prior consent is obtained. Reimbursable Services (559/RSA) are available for enrolled operators. Operators should notify CBP in advance if transporting live animals, weapons, hunting trophies, restricted food products, commercial imports, or carnets to ensure compliance.
