About Republic Airport
Republic Airport in Farmingdale is Long Island’s principal business aviation field, with a mix of based corporate jets, charter operators and flight training. It offers a calmer alternative to Teterboro with the same access to transatlantic routings. We treat aircraft on the FBO ramps and in hangars across the field.
Where the aircraft disinsection 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 Farmingdale that port is FRG. Pre-embarkation treatment of the empty aircraft here is a method those countries accept.
Departures from FRG 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 Greece, Morocco, Egypt, India follow. A non-stop crossing from Republic Airport makes FRG the last port before the destination, which is exactly where pre-embarkation treatment belongs.
The aircraft disinsection process on the FRG ramp
We coordinate with your FBO and crew at FRG, 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 Farmingdale flight documents. Passengers arrive to a treated aircraft.
