Hankinson: Vancouver has had a preclearance operation for many decades,

3
00:00:07,461 --> 00:00:11,894
but in the last few years with the advent of things such as

4
00:00:11,894 --> 00:00:15,852
the APC kiosk and other processes,

5
00:00:15,852 --> 00:00:19,192
the preclearance process now for customers is great.

6
00:00:19,192 --> 00:00:24,047
Customers focus in on the speed of and ease of moving through the airport

7
00:00:24,047 --> 00:00:26,861
and the preclearance process helps a customer do that.

8
00:00:26,861 --> 00:00:31,191
Business is absolutely affected positively by preclearance.

9
00:00:31,191 --> 00:00:34,439
The customer really wants to move through an airport process

10
00:00:34,439 --> 00:00:37,439
as quickly as possible and as easily as possible.

11
00:00:37,439 --> 00:00:41,367
And as part of that preclearance process they can get all of the check-in,

12
00:00:41,367 --> 00:00:45,450
drop the bags, move through security, through CBP quickly.

13
00:00:45,450 --> 00:00:47,522
That then gives them time to shop

14
00:00:47,522 --> 00:00:50,120
and that's where the airport gains additional benefit,

15
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:53,647
because the customer has time and often when they have time, they shop.

16
00:00:53,647 --> 00:00:55,147
And we like that.

17
00:00:55,147 --> 00:00:58,704
The growth in connection traffic has resulted in

18
00:00:58,704 --> 00:01:04,579
an additional demand for food and beverage and for retail services.

19
00:01:04,579 --> 00:01:08,043
And as a result of that growth in connection traffic,

20
00:01:08,043 --> 00:01:11,785
because it's easier to move through the process

21
00:01:11,785 --> 00:01:14,632
that has resulted in increased benefit to the airport,

22
00:01:14,632 --> 00:01:19,425
because we're able to do more business post CBP,

23
00:01:19,425 --> 00:01:24,822
with the customer that results in revenue being generated for the airport.

24
00:01:24,822 --> 00:01:24,823
 

25
00:01:24,823 --> 00:01:24,824
 

26
00:01:24,824 --> 00:01:24,825
 

27
00:01:24,825 --> 00:01:25,825
