Automated Passport ControlIn 2013, Vancouver Airport Authority launched BorderXpress, an Automated Passport Control (APC), designed to partially automate the customs clearance process for U.S. Customs and Border Protection (US CBP). APC helps eligible passengers clear the border up to 89 per cent faster than the typical inspection process, reducing wait times, terminal congestion and operational costs. The program is now available in 15 airports and continues to be expanded to select airports across North America.
