Capital City Airport received International Port of Entry Status in January of 2008. The airport name was changed to “Capital Region International Airport” to reflect the new direction of development.
A temporary U.S. Customs Federal Inspection Station was opened on June 16, 2008 to allow for general aviation, corporate aviation and air freight activities to begin using the airport while a permanent Federal Inspection Station (FIS) was designed and built. The permanent facility is in the terminal and will ultimately accommodate 200-300 passengers per hour and be open for business by June 1, 2009.
The Airport Authority is also activating a Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) covering the entire Airport and is expected to begin operations by the summer of 2009. International lines of business are expected to become common in the greater Lansing area as a result of this new development direction. The Airport has over 200 acres for immediate development and into the future.
