Military Preclearance

US Alliance, together with Homeland Security and the US Government, are working on extending the unique ability to pre-clear corporate jet passengers to clearing US troops on their way back home.

This service will save time on arrival for troops after a hard tour, and will open several more airport options to crew and passengers, as the flight becomes a “domestic flight” after departing Shannon.

We need your support in getting this service approved — please get in touch to submit your comments in support of our petition.

Preclearance from KSA

As the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) prepares to enter the CBP program for signatory carriers, US Alliance plans to open our KSA trip support office in Jeddah and later in Riyadh, planned to open in 2019.

Our KSA offices will offer assistance to corporate jet customers travelling to the United States with pre-clearance services from KSA via our FBO in Shannon. The US Alliance trip support team will prepare the entire pre-clearance trip from KSA with a quick tech stop in EINN — CBP officers will pre-clear the aircraft and passengers while it is refuelled.

In less than 45 minutes from touch down, your aircraft continues to the United States as a domestic flight.
