Where the requirement comes from
Think of it from the arrival end: the destination expects a treated aircraft and a certificate. Pre-embarkation gives it both, provided the treatment happens at the last port before that country. Non-stop from APA, that is APA; with a stop en route, the plan changes and we tell you how.
From APA the requirement is mostly a Pacific one: Australia and New Zealand require disinsection on every arriving international aircraft, and the Cook Islands and Solomon Islands require it too. Many itineraries from Englewood stop in Hawaii, which then becomes the last US port and the place for pre-embarkation treatment; non-stop departures are treated here at APA. New Zealand, Italy, Jamaica appear on the list as well.
How it works on the APA ramp
On the day, the sequence at APA 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.

Most often for Australia, New Zealand, Italy, Jamaica, which are typical destinations from Englewood. Many other countries require it as well; send us the exact route and we will tell you what applies to your aircraft.
