Facility, flights entering the United States from a foreign country can now clear in Leesburg,
without having to make an intermediate stop at a different port of entry. On-call Customs and
Border Protection personnel based at Dulles will process arriving international flights at the
Leesburg Executive Airport by request. This new service will strengthen the airport's position to
serve the corporate and general aviation community.
