About Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport
Ted Stevens Anchorage International is a technical-stop hub for transpacific flying and hosts a steady flow of long-range business aviation. Aircraft transiting ANC for Asia and the Pacific stage here, and its FBOs are built around quick, reliable international turns.
Where the requirement comes from
ANC is where the requirement is satisfied for a non-stop flight, because pre-embarkation treatment belongs at the last port before the destination country. The arriving authority requires the aircraft to have been disinsected; treating it empty here, before boarding, meets that requirement for the countries that accept the method.
ANC is a staging point rather than a home base for most of the aircraft that use it, which is why it matters for disinsection: pre-embarkation treatment belongs at the last port before the destination country, and for many crossings that port is ANC. Italy, Australia, New Zealand and India are the destinations that most often require it, with New Zealand, Cook Islands, Chile close behind.
How it works on the ANC ramp
Once the plan is set we work directly with the ANC 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.

Can you get to ANC on short notice?
Alaska departures are served on a scheduled basis: the treatment product moves as compliant freight, on longer timelines than the continental US. Tell us the departure date as early as you can and we will be there for it.
Can one treatment cover an outbound and a return?
No. Pre-embarkation covers one flight sector, the flight it is performed for. The return to the US carries no US disinsection requirement; onward international legs need their own consideration. Send us the itinerary and we will map it leg by leg.
