Aircraft Disinsection in Detroit
Detroit flight departments fly the automotive supply chain across the Atlantic and down to Brazil, and Italy, Greece and Brazil all require arriving aircraft to be disinsected. We perform pre-embarkation disinsection at Detroit Metro, Oakland County, Coleman Young and Willow Run, on the empty aircraft before boarding.
Why Detroit departures need a disinsection plan
Oakland County carries the corporate traffic and is the last port for most non-stop transatlantic departures from the region. Brazil is the route to watch: its requirement applies on a risk basis, so we confirm which rule applies to your itinerary before the aircraft leaves Detroit.
From the Midwest the routes that most often trigger a disinsection requirement are transatlantic, Italy in particular, along with winter Caribbean flying to Barbados.
