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 aircraft disinsection requirement comes from
The requirement belongs to the country you are flying to, and it is met at the last port before that country. Leave Charlotte non-stop and CLT is that port, so pre-embarkation treatment of the empty aircraft here, before boarding, satisfies the destinations that accept the method. Add a stop and the picture changes; tell us the routing and we will place the treatment correctly.
Operators leaving CLT meet the disinsection requirement on routes in several directions: transatlantic to Italy, south to Barbados and Chile, and, on ultra-long-range aircraft, east to India. Barbados, Brazil, 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.
The aircraft disinsection process on the CLT ramp
Nothing about the CLT 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.
