Aircraft Disinsection at Boston Logan International Airport (BOS)
Boston Logan is New England’s international gateway and hosts a busy general aviation ramp used by corporate operators throughout the region. Long-range departures to Europe and the Mediterranean are daily business here.
If your next departure from BOS 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. We typically reach BOS within 24 to 36 hours of confirmation, and scheduled bookings are guaranteed for the departure.
About Boston Logan International Airport
Boston Logan is New England’s long-haul gateway, and its general aviation ramp serves corporate operators from across the region who want the runways and services of a major hub. Long-range departures to Europe and the Mediterranean are daily business. We treat aircraft on the FBO ramp ahead of boarding.
Where the 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 Boston that port is BOS. Pre-embarkation treatment of the empty aircraft here is a method those countries accept.
Departures from BOS 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 Boston Logan International Airport makes BOS the last port before the destination, which is exactly where pre-embarkation treatment belongs.
How it works on the BOS ramp
Nothing about the BOS 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.

BOS disinsection questions, answered
Do you come to BOS?

Can you get to BOS on short notice?
Often, yes. We travel to Boston from our base and handle our own logistics; the earlier we hear about a likely trip the more precisely we can time the treatment, but short-notice requests are a normal part of the work.
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.
