L'indicatif AOE signifie «aéroports d'entrée» et désigne tous les aérodromes où des services douaniers sont offerts. Les aérodromes à limites de capacité sont indiqués par un numéro précédé d'une barre oblique, p. ex., AOE/44. Si un aérodrome est déterminé comme ayant une limite de capacité de 15, cela veut dire qu'il s'agit d'un aérodrome douanier autorisé pour l'entrée et la sortie du trafic aérien de l'aviation générale seulement, p. ex., un aéronef appartenant à une entreprise ou un petit aéronef nolisé ne transportant pas plus de 15 passagers et leurs bagages. 3, record 1, French, - a%C3%A9roport%20d%27entr%C3%A9e
