port's permission to land procedures.  
Commercial aircraft

departing the U.S. must obtain an 
outbound clearance by contacting

Permission to Land Procedures 
Pilots must secure permission to land by speaking with RSW

departure from the foreign port or place. 24-hour notification is 
recommended. 
Permission to land is granted with a tolerance of (+/-) 15 minutes. 
If your ETA deviates outside these parameters, previously 
granted permission(s) are invalid and you must contact CBP to 
re-secure permission to land.

flights outside regular office hours are considered on a case-by-
case basis.
