To regain their Customs services and AOE status Brandon has to purchase Customs services on a "per aircraft" basis. Brandon airport charges this cost of providing Canada Customs clearance directly to the aircraft owner. The airport is currently being charged by Canada Customs $450.00-$650.00 per aircraft. If you clear customs here you will be billed that amount for the service. So don't plan to clear Customs here unless paying that much is acceptable to you. |
