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. Response to Dallas is typically same day to next morning, within 24 hours of confirmation.
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 requirement comes from
The rule is set by the arriving country, not by the airport you leave from. If your destination requires disinsection, the aircraft must be treated at the last port before that country, and for a non-stop departure from Dallas that port is DAL. Pre-embarkation treatment of the empty aircraft here is a method those countries accept.
DAL sends aircraft south: the Caribbean on short sectors and South America on long ones. Jamaica, Barbados, Chile and Paraguay all require disinsection on arrival, and Chile, 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.
How it works on the DAL ramp
We coordinate with your FBO and crew, arrive ahead of the agreed time, and treat the aircraft where it is parked once catering and cleaning are complete and the cabin is empty. Cabin, flight deck and holds are treated to the WHO method, the aircraft is ventilated and released for boarding after the required wait, and the certificate goes aboard with the flight documents. Passengers arrive to a treated aircraft.
