United States119th CongressS-677Senate
Updated: Feb 20, 2025
Summary
The Border Airport Fairness Act of 2025 mandates the President to designate specific airports as official ports of entry, simultaneously terminating user fee requirements for these locations. This legislation aims to streamline international travel and trade by expanding the network of designated entry points. To be eligible, an airport must be a primary airport situated within 30 miles of either the northern or southern international land border of the United States. Additionally, it must be formally linked, via a legal instrument like a contract, to a land border crossing or seaport also located within 30 miles. Through this established association, the airport must satisfy the numerical criteria set forth by U.S. Customs and Border Protection for establishing a port of entry, as detailed in relevant Treasury Decisions or successor regulations.
