Aircraft Disinsection in Boston
Boston is the shortest transatlantic hop in the country, and Hanscom Field sends corporate aircraft to Italy and the Mediterranean through the whole summer season. We perform pre-embarkation disinsection at Logan, Hanscom, Hyannis, Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard, on the empty aircraft before boarding.
Why Boston departures need a disinsection plan
Italy and Greece are the destinations that most often need the certificate from Boston, with Morocco and Egypt behind them. The summer island traffic matters too: an aircraft positioning from Nantucket to Europe is treated at the island ramp, because that is the last port before the destination.
From the Northeast the routes that most often trigger a disinsection requirement are transatlantic: Italy above all, plus Greece, Morocco, Egypt and, on ultra-long-range aircraft, India non-stop.
