International travels who will be coming through the Springfield-Branson National Airport will have the opportunity to make their travel path easier starting Monday at 11 a.m..
The airport is opening a Global Entry Enrollment Center. The Center, operated by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, allows for faster clearance through customs for pre-approved travelers who are considered “low-risk.”
“It may seem odd to open the center in the middle of a pandemic,” Brian Weiler, director of the Springfield airport, said in a statement. “But when the pandemic is under control, and folks start traveling again, I’m confident they’ll come here to enroll. The Global Entry program makes the customs process much easier for both business and vacation international travel.”
The Center will allow the pre-registered travelers to head to an automated kiosk where they will complete a customs declaration. There will also be units to scan fingerprints and read passports.
Until the opening of the Springfield facility, the closest location to register for the Global Entry program was Kansas City.
“The Global Entry Enrollment Center at the Springfield airport will expand the benefits of Global Entry to a wider community and make it easier for Midwesterners to take advantage of the program,” Jack Bebinger, CBP Assistant Director, Trade, Chicago Field Office, said in a statement.
The Center, which is in the main terminal, will be open Tuesdays and Thursdays from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and appointments are required.
