While the airport remains fully operational for GA, both <strong>security screening<\/strong> and aspects of the <strong>U.S. CBP preclearance flow<\/strong> have been impacted.<\/p>\n<p>Operators should plan carefully and proactively brief passengers, particularly VIP charter clients, as the overall experience is less discreet than in previous years.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Charter GA Security Changes \u2013 What Operators Need to Know<\/h2>\n<p>The new requirements stem from national security mandates applicable to airports handling more than 500,000 passengers annually. As of January 1:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Walk-through metal detectors may no longer be used for primary screening\n<ul>\n<li>Passengers must be screened using <strong>advanced security scanners<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Cabin baggage must be screened via <strong>EDS C3 equipment<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Dedicated GA or VIP screening locations are no longer permitted for charter passengers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As a result, charter passengers must now utilize the <strong>main terminal central security search area<\/strong>, escorted at all times by their handling agent.<\/p>\n<p>General Aviation Screening Proc\u2026<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Charter Passenger Screening \u2013 Revised Process<\/h2>\n<p>Charter passengers are no longer screened at vehicle checkpoints unless operating on a specifically demarcated aircraft.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Current flow includes:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Transport by the handling agent to <strong>Coach Park 2<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>Hold baggage delivered to the <strong>Out of Gauge (OOG)<\/strong> desk in Departures<\/li>\n<li>Passenger identity verification using passports (no boarding cards required)<\/li>\n<li>Escorted entry into the <strong>central terminal screening area<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Screening conducted using <strong>security scanners and EDS C3<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Continuous escort through the CPSRA and transport back to the aircraft<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Passengers are <strong>fast-tracked through a staff lane<\/strong>, which helps protect schedule integrity, but the experience is visibly different from the former GA\/VIP screening environment.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>CBP Preclearance Impact \u2013 All Flights (Private and Charter)<\/h2>\n<p>The IAA security changes also affect the <strong>U.S. CBP preclearance process<\/strong> at Shannon for <strong>both private and charter flights<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Previously, passengers could be screened via a <strong>VIP security screening area<\/strong> prior to CBP processing. Under the new procedures:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Passengers must screen via the <strong>main public terminal security area<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>Fast-track staff lanes are used where possible<\/li>\n<li>VIP discretion is reduced, though processing efficiency remains largely unchanged<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These changes are <strong>procedural rather than regulatory<\/strong> and are not expected to materially affect average CBP turnaround times. However, operators should expect the experience to feel less seamless for high-profile travelers.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>U.S. CBP Operating Hours \u2013 Shannon (EINN)<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\"
