Houston (Oct. 6, 2022) – In four months, Universal Weather and Aviation, Inc. has rapidly grown its U.S. Customs & Border Protection Reimbursable Services Program (RSP) and can now provide RSP services at 26 airports.

Universal became the first mission management company accepted into CBP’s RSP program in June 2022. This allows Universal to request and prepay for CBP overtime services at approved U.S. ports where hours of operation and overtime are limited.

“The rapid growth of our RSP service is a fundamental change in how our customers can access and determine mission feasibility at 26 of the biggest airports in the U.S. and we’re not stopping,” said Adam Hartley, Global Regulatory Services, Universal. “As the first trip support provider accepted into RSP, our customers have ease of access to operating hours no one else can provide.”

Customers working with Universal® Trip Support can take advantage of Universal’s RSP partner status at the following airports: Austin–Bergstrom International | KAUS | Texas; Bangor International | KBGR | Maine; Bradley International | KBDL | Connecticut; Charleston International | KCHS | South Carolina; Charlotte Douglas | KCLT | South Carolina; Chicago Midway | KMDW | Illinois; Cleveland Hopkins International | KCLE | Ohio; Francis S.
