About Charlotte Douglas International Airport
Charlotte Douglas is one of the largest hubs in the Southeast and hosts a busy corporate ramp serving the banking and industrial operators of the Carolinas. International departures to Europe and the Caribbean are routine, and the general aviation area is set up for long-range aircraft.
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 CLT, that is CLT; with a stop en route, the plan changes and we tell you how.
Operators leaving CLT meet the disinsection requirement on routes in several directions: transatlantic to Italy, south to Jamaica, Barbados and Chile, and, on ultra-long-range aircraft, east to India. Barbados, Chile, Paraguay are typical from Charlotte. Whatever the destination, an aircraft leaving Charlotte Douglas International Airport is expected to arrive treated, with a certificate, and pre-embarkation at the last US port is how we deliver that.
How it works on the CLT ramp
We treat the aircraft where it is parked at CLT, whether that is a hangar or the FBO ramp, and we build the timing backward from your boarding. Empty cabin, WHO method through cabin, flight deck and holds, rest and ventilation, release. Your crew receives the certificate before the door closes and your passengers never see the process.

Our trip has a technical stop before the destination. Does that change things?
