New Primary Customs Clearance Facility

Thursday, July 2, 2009

The A. B. Won Pat International Airport Authority, Guam (GIAA) and the Guam Customs & Quarantine Agency (CQA) formalized plans for the relocation of air cargo clearance operations to the new Guam Integrated Air Cargo Facility located in Tiyan and slated for completion and occupancy on August 15, 2009.

“The new facility will significantly streamline the CQA operations and will be designated as the primary customs clearance facility for both inbound and outbound air cargo shipments,” stated COL (Ret) Dennis J. Santo Tomas, Director of Guam Customs & Quarantine. “It places us in a position to better handle the increased air cargo volume associated with the military buildup.”

The Guam Integrated Air Cargo Facility is public/private venture between GIAA and PacAir Properties LLC. The new facility, developed by PacAir Properties is a $23M investment in a state of the art Integrated Air Cargo Facility.

“The project is in line with the Airport’s plan to expand service into Guam and takes advantage of the liberal cargo authorizations granted to Guam from the US Department of Transportation, “stated Carlos Salas, GIAA Executive Manager. “It is a welcome development for the Airport and cargo operators who currently face congestive conditions and space and capacity restriction in the current 35-year-old cargo facility.

The new facility will increase cargo-handling capacity from 50,000 tons to over 3.5M tons of cargo. Safety and security are aspects addressed in the design and operations of the new Integrated Air Cargo Facility. All TSA and Customs regulations governing the movement of inbound and outbound cargo will be met, assuring secure transport of goods on aircraft carrying a mix of passengers and cargo.

The Development being undertaken will increase the available Cargo space with direct Airport Operations Area (AOA) access from 34,000 square feet to over 100,000 square feet. In addition, 36,000 square feet of office space will be available for airport related tenants in this prime area. A ribbon cutting ceremony is tentatively scheduled for Tuesday, August 18, 2009.
