Custom Services Dropped

Airports at Dryden, Red Lake and Sioux Lookout will no longer be offering customs service.

Dryden Airport manager George Friesen says the move was spurred by changes requiring doubling the number of agents, who handle passengers coming from outside Canada.

Kenora and Fort Frances are now the only regional airports currently offering customs, although Kenora is on a seasonal basis.
