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 Fayetteville that port is FAY. Pre-embarkation treatment of the empty aircraft here is a method those countries accept.
Departures from FAY 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, and Barbados, Brazil, Paraguay follow. A non-stop crossing from Fayetteville Regional Airport - Grannis Field makes FAY the last port before the destination, which is exactly where pre-embarkation treatment belongs.
The aircraft disinsection process on the FAY ramp
We coordinate with your FBO and crew at FAY, 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 Fayetteville flight documents. Passengers arrive to a treated aircraft.
