If your next departure from EGE 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.

About Eagle County Regional Airport
Eagle County Regional is the gateway to Vail and Beaver Creek and one of the busiest resort business aviation airports in the country. Long-range departures leave from EGE for Europe and beyond, especially in the winter season, and mountain performance considerations mean departures are planned carefully.
Where the requirement comes from
EGE is where the requirement is satisfied for a non-stop flight, because pre-embarkation treatment belongs at the last port before the destination country. The arriving authority requires the aircraft to have been disinsected; treating it empty here, before boarding, meets that requirement for the countries that accept the method.
Departures from EGE that trigger a disinsection requirement are mostly transatlantic. Italy is the one that catches operators most often, because it applies to aircraft arriving from the United States; Greece joined the list in September 2025, and New Zealand, Italy, Jamaica follow. A non-stop crossing from Eagle County Regional Airport makes EGE the last port before the destination, which is exactly where pre-embarkation treatment belongs.
How it works on the EGE ramp
At Eagle County Regional Airport the treatment fits into the normal departure sequence. Catering and cleaning finish, the cabin is confirmed empty, and our technician applies the WHO pre-embarkation treatment through cabin, flight deck and holds. The aircraft rests, ventilates for the required wait, and is released for boarding with the certificate aboard and the treatment details in the crew’s hands for the General Declaration.
