October 3, 2024Cleared customs in Peoria on trip from Canada to N Texas. Dan at CBP was super nice, and efficient. Byerly did not disappoint. Quick to get us turned, and dog friendly.

August 7, 2022Good location to clear customs if you are heading west. Byerly is first class in every respect. Everyone very cordial and helpful.

April 1, 2022Good airport. Had to make an unplanned stop due to alternator failure. Byerly took fine care of me. Fair, quick, and accommodating. No hotel nearby but was able to get courtesy car and return next AM. Because I had to switch to handheld radio, I told Approach I was safely on the ground (they kept me vs handing to tower). I’m guessing they are collocated with Tower as they gave me progressive taxi instructions!
