U.S. Customs and Immigration service has begun at upstate New York’s Griffiss International Airport, which is touting itself as a transatlantic arrival alternative to Bangor or Portsmouth with its 11,820-foot runway and 32 acres of ramp for parking. The fully staffed customs facility is available Monday through Friday 8:30 a.m. (EST) to 5 p.m. (EST) with call out available at other times with advance notice. It is co-located with the Million Air FBO, the lone service provider on the field, in the airport’s new terminal.
