Aircraft Disinsection at Addison Airport (ADS)
Addison is one of the busiest business aviation airports in Texas, sitting in the middle of North Dallas’s corporate corridor. Departures to Latin America, the Caribbean and Europe leave from ADS every day.
If your next departure from ADS is to a country that requires disinsection, we come to your aircraft here, treat it empty before boarding to the WHO pre-embarkation method, and issue the certificate for the flight. ADS sits in our central response region, where some departures can be served with 12 to 36 hours of notice.
About Addison Airport
Addison is one of the busiest business aviation airports in Texas, sitting in the middle of North Dallas’s corporate corridor with a dense cluster of FBOs and based aircraft. Departures to Latin America, the Caribbean and Europe leave from ADS every day. Addison packs one of the densest business aviation communities anywhere onto a single north Dallas field, with hangar rows running the length of the runway.
Where the aircraft disinsection requirement comes from
Whatever the destination, the mechanism is the same: the arriving country requires the aircraft to have been disinsected, and pre-embarkation treatment at the last port before that country, performed on the empty aircraft, is a method it accepts. For a non-stop flight out of ADS, that last port is ADS.
ADS sends aircraft south: the Caribbean on short sectors and South America on long ones. Barbados, Chile and Paraguay require disinsection on arrival, Brazil does on a risk basis, and Brazil, Paraguay, Italy round out the usual list. Where a South American trip from Addison Airport stops en route, the treatment plan changes, so we ask for the full routing before confirming.
The aircraft disinsection process on the ADS ramp
Once the plan is set we work directly with the ADS FBO and your crew on access, ramp position and timing. Our technician arrives before the agreed slot, confirms the aircraft is empty with catering and cleaning done, and applies the WHO pre-embarkation treatment through the cabin, flight deck and holds. After the specified rest and ventilation the aircraft is released for boarding, certificate in hand.

ADS disinsection questions, answered
Is ADS in your coverage?
It is. We treat aircraft at Addison Airport on the ramp or in the hangar before boarding, and we handle our own travel to Addison. Send us the destination and date and we will confirm the plan.
Does a flight from ADS to Chile need disinsection?
Yes, Chile requires it on arriving aircraft, and pre-embarkation treatment at ADS before boarding is a method it accepts for a non-stop flight. Brazil, Paraguay, Italy are other common cases from Addison. Send us the route and we will confirm the plan.
Can you get to ADS on short notice?
Often, yes. We travel to Addison from our base and handle our own logistics; the earlier we hear about a likely trip the more precisely we can time the treatment, but short-notice requests are a normal part of the work.
Our trip out of ADS has a technical stop before the destination. Does that change things?
Yes, because pre-embarkation belongs at the last port before the destination country. Send us the full routing from ADS and we will confirm where the treatment should be performed and whether it can be done in the US.
