I just spoke to someone from Abbeville Customs. They said we can still use Abbeville to clear customs and it will definitly be open all year at least.
He said all you need to do is file a flightplan, no other advanced information required.

cheers

It's still O.K. as I used Abbeville outwards last Sat, & homebound this afternnoon.

BTW Lille don't even bother to respond to calls at all ! That was both days.
Luckily Le Touquet ATC were on the ball and dealt with flight plan actuation.

I spoke to Lille both ways, answered my calls and were very helpful. Abbeville was good as usual no problems with customs and in and out quickly. Several others did get inspected by customs this weekend I heard, hopefully they didnt get delayed too long.
