Aircraft Disinsection at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS)
Austin-Bergstrom serves the corporate operators of the Central Texas technology corridor with a fast-growing business aviation ramp. International departures to Europe and Latin America are common.
If your next departure from AUS 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. AUS sits in our central response region: typically same day to next morning, within 24 hours of confirmation.
About Austin-Bergstrom International Airport
Austin-Bergstrom serves the corporate operators of the Central Texas technology corridor with a fast-growing business aviation ramp. International departures to Europe and Latin America are common, and the airport’s runways handle long-range aircraft.
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 Austin non-stop and AUS 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.
AUS sends aircraft south: the Caribbean on short sectors and South America on long ones. Jamaica, Barbados, Chile and Paraguay all require disinsection on arrival, and Chile, Paraguay, Italy round out the usual list. Where a South American trip from Austin-Bergstrom International Airport stops en route, the treatment plan changes, so we ask for the full routing before confirming.
How it works on the AUS ramp
Nothing about the AUS 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.
