Landmark Aviation has reached an agreement with the UK’s Border Force to establish a satellite office in the company’s FBO at London Luton Airport to provide onsite customs and immigration clearance. Previously, if there was a problem with paperwork on international flights arriving at the location, passengers and crew would have to be bussed over to the main commercial terminal, according to Cy Farmer, the company’s vice president for international operations.

Landmark acquired the Luton FBO and two other locations (Manchester Airport and Glasgow Prestwick Airport) last year when it purchased the UK assets of RSS Jet Center. Introduced in mid-January, the customs and immigration service has already cleared hundreds of arriving aircraft at the FBO without issue, said Farmer.
