Air Courier

“Working together to ensure timely delivery and quality of service for your customers.”

The CNS Air Courier System is a dedicated airport community system providing couriers and express parcel operators, based in Heathrow and Gatwick, with the means to achieve customs clearance of packages from around the world.

The Air Courier System is designed specially to meet the time sensitive nature of this industry, as well as ensuring that HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) have the ability to control and monitor these rapid movements through the airports.

Courier Facilities Limited and British Airways, who operate the three main receiving areas at Heathrow and Gatwick, use the CNS Air Courier System as their primary means to control the shipment and release of both import and export consignments.

CNS also works closely with the Association of International Courier Express Services (AICES), which represents the industry’s views to the UK Government and the European Union (EU). This relationship is fundamental in representing users’ views on the future development of the Air Courier System.
