Aircraft Disinsection at Dallas Love Field (DAL)
Dallas Love Field is the business aviation heart of North Texas, close to downtown and home to a large corporate and charter fleet. International departures to Latin America and Europe are routine.
If your next departure from DAL 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. DAL sits in our central response region, where some departures can be served with 12 to 36 hours of notice.
About Dallas Love Field
Dallas Love Field is the business aviation heart of North Texas, close to downtown and home to a large corporate and charter fleet alongside its airline traffic. International departures to Latin America and Europe are routine, and its FBOs handle the largest business 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 Dallas non-stop and DAL 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.
DAL sends aircraft south: the Caribbean on short sectors and South America on long ones. Barbados, Chile and Paraguay require disinsection on arrival, Brazil does on a risk basis, and Brazil, Paraguay, Italy round out the usual list. Where a South American trip from Dallas Love Field stops en route, the treatment plan changes, so we ask for the full routing before confirming.
The aircraft disinsection process on the DAL ramp
On the day, the sequence at DAL 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.
