Bozeman Yellowstone International has become one of the busiest business aviation airports in the northern Rockies. International departures leave from BZN throughout the year.
If your next departure from BZN 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 ask for 36 to 48 hours of notice at BZN, and scheduled bookings are guaranteed for the departure.
About Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport
Bozeman Yellowstone International has become one of the busiest business aviation airports in the northern Rockies as the region has grown. International departures leave from BZN throughout the year, and long-range aircraft are well accommodated.
Where the aircraft disinsection requirement comes from
No US authority requires disinsection on departure. The obligation is created by the arriving country, which expects a treated aircraft and a certificate. Pre-embarkation treatment performed at BZN, the last port before a non-stop international arrival, is how operators meet it without spraying an occupied cabin at the far end.
From BZN the requirement is mostly a Pacific one: Australia and New Zealand require disinsection on every arriving international aircraft, and the Cook Islands, Fiji and the Solomon Islands require it too. Many itineraries from Belgrade stop in Hawaii, which then becomes the last US port and the place for pre-embarkation treatment; non-stop departures are treated here at BZN. Australia, New Zealand appear on the list as well.
The aircraft disinsection process on the BZN ramp
On the day, the sequence at BZN 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.

BZN disinsection questions, answered
Is BZN in your coverage?
It is. We treat aircraft at Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport on the ramp or in the hangar before boarding, and we handle our own travel to Belgrade. Send us the destination and date and we will confirm the plan.
Does a flight from BZN to Italy need disinsection?
Yes, Italy requires it on arriving aircraft, and pre-embarkation treatment at BZN before boarding is a method it accepts for a non-stop flight. Australia, New Zealand are other common cases from Belgrade. Send us the route and we will confirm the plan.
When should we book disinsection for a trip out of BZN?
As soon as the trip from Belgrade is likely. We hold the plan with you and adjust if the departure moves; if Australia or New Zealand is on the itinerary from BZN, start earlier still because of the operator paperwork.
Our trip out of BZN has a technical stop before the destination. Does that change things?
Yes, because pre-embarkation belongs at the last port before the destination country. Send us the full routing from BZN and we will confirm where the treatment should be performed and whether it can be done in the US.
