Aircraft Disinsection at Martin State Airport (MTN)
Martin State Airport carries the name of Glenn L. Martin, whose factory beside the field once turned out flying boats and bombers on the shore of the Chesapeake east of Baltimore. Operators departing MTN for destinations with disinsection rules can have the aircraft treated at Martin State before the door closes.
If your next departure from MTN 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 Baltimore within 24 to 36 hours of confirmation; booked departures are guaranteed for the date.
About Martin State Airport
The 6,999-ft runway at Martin State serves a mix that few relievers can match: corporate jets for the Baltimore market, a Maryland Air National Guard wing, and a heritage collection that honors the field’s manufacturing past. Business aviation uses it as the close-in alternative to BWI’s airline banks. Transatlantic trips staged from the Chesapeake side of the metro area launch here regularly. We complete the treatment and hand over the certificate before boarding begins.
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 Baltimore non-stop and MTN 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.
Departures from MTN that trigger a disinsection requirement are mostly transatlantic. Italy is the one that catches operators most often, because it applies to aircraft arriving from the United States; Greece joined the list in September 2025, and Greece, Morocco, Egypt, India follow. A non-stop crossing from Martin State Airport makes MTN the last port before the destination, which is exactly where pre-embarkation treatment belongs.
How it works on the MTN ramp
On the day, the sequence at MTN is simple: our crew is at your hangar or FBO ahead of time, the cabin is confirmed empty and prepared, the treatment is applied to the WHO method through cabin, flight deck and holds, and the aircraft rests, ventilates and is released for boarding after the required wait. Your crew receives the certificate and the details to enter on the General Declaration before the door closes.
