Every year, more than 112 million international travelers arrive at US airports of entry to be cleared into the country. Eighty-five percent of passengers are cleared at airports within the United States, with the balance at 15 airport Preclearance sites in Canada, the Caribbean, Ireland, and Abu Dhabi. The growth in the number of international passengers at the top 100 airports of entry is staggering, with an increase of over 20% over for the past 5 years. By 2036, US Customs and Border Protection’s (CBP) workload at airports is forecast to grow from serving 112 million passengers to nearly 250 million. International passenger growth plays an important role in the economy, particularly for tourism development. In addition to clearing returning US residents, foreign nationals bring large amount of economic benefits. Across all modes of transportation, the United States will welcome 94.1 million foreign visitors who will spend upwards of $250 billion annually. A large proportion of foreigners will come in via airports—hence the importance of making sure CBP facilities can accommodate growth.
