Border Overflight Exemption Permit (BOE)

When flying into the United States from regions south of the U.S. border, such as Mexico, the Caribbean, or Central and South America, aircraft operators are generally required to stop at the first U.S. Customs airport they encounter. However, with a Border Overflight Exemption Permit (BOE), operators are able to bypass these mandatory stops and fly directly to their inland destination. This permit, issued by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), streamlines the entry process, saving both time and operational costs for private and charter flights.

At American Flight Support, we specialize in assisting clients with obtaining the Border Overflight Exemption Permit. Our expert team will guide you through the application process, ensuring all necessary documentation is submitted in compliance with CBP requirements. For just $140, we will handle the permit application on your behalf, making the process quick and hassle-free. By partnering with us, you can avoid unnecessary border stops and fly directly to your intended destination with ease. Contact us today to simplify your flight operations.
