Aircraft Disinsection at DeKalb-Peachtree Airport (PDK)
DeKalb-Peachtree is Atlanta’s primary business aviation airport and one of the busiest general aviation fields in the Southeast. Corporate operators based here fly the Caribbean, South America and Europe.
If your next departure from PDK 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. Expect us at Atlanta within 24 to 36 hours of confirmation; booked departures are guaranteed for the date.
About DeKalb-Peachtree Airport
DeKalb-Peachtree is Atlanta’s primary business aviation airport and one of the busiest general aviation fields in the Southeast, close to the city’s northern business districts. Corporate operators based here fly the Caribbean, South America and Europe, often positioning to Hartsfield-Jackson only when the aircraft needs its runways.
Where the requirement comes from
The requirement belongs to the country you are flying to, and it is met at the last port before that country. Leave Atlanta non-stop and PDK is that port, so pre-embarkation treatment of the empty aircraft here, before boarding, satisfies the destinations that accept the method. Add a stop and the picture changes; tell us the routing and we will place the treatment correctly.
Operators leaving PDK meet the disinsection requirement on routes in several directions: transatlantic to Italy, south to Jamaica, Barbados and Chile, and, on ultra-long-range aircraft, east to India. Barbados, Chile, Paraguay are typical from Atlanta. Whatever the destination, an aircraft leaving DeKalb-Peachtree Airport is expected to arrive treated, with a certificate, and pre-embarkation at the last US port is how we deliver that.
How it works on the PDK ramp
Nothing about the PDK treatment disrupts your departure. We time it to your boarding, coordinate access and position with the FBO, and treat the empty aircraft, cabin, flight deck and holds, to the WHO method once catering and cleaning are finished. The aircraft ventilates for the required wait, the certificate goes aboard, and passengers step onto a treated aircraft without ever seeing the process.
