About Boca Raton Airport
Boca Raton Airport is one of the busiest business aviation airports in South Florida, serving the corporate operators and residents of Palm Beach and Broward counties. It has no airline service, which keeps the ramp focused on private and charter aircraft. Caribbean and transatlantic departures leave from BCT throughout the season.
Where the aircraft disinsection requirement comes from
The rule is set by the arriving country, not by the airport you leave from. If your destination requires disinsection, the aircraft must be treated at the last port before that country, and for a non-stop departure from Boca Raton that port is BCT. Pre-embarkation treatment of the empty aircraft here is a method those countries accept.
From BCT the requirement most often shows up on short Caribbean sectors, Barbados above all, where the flight is so routine that the arrival rules get overlooked. Barbados, Brazil, Paraguay are the other common cases. The length of the flight out of Boca Raton does not change the requirement; a treated aircraft and a certificate are expected on arrival either way.
The aircraft disinsection process on the BCT ramp
Nothing about the BCT 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.
