About Perot Field Fort Worth Alliance Airport
Perot Field Fort Worth Alliance is a purpose-built industrial and business aviation airport north of Fort Worth with long runways suited to heavy, long-range aircraft and extensive hangar space. International departures are well served here, and it is a field our team has worked. Alliance pairs corporate hangars with a major cargo and industrial campus, and its parallel runways see everything up to the largest freighters.
Where the requirement comes from
No US authority requires disinsection on departure. The obligation is created by the arriving country, which expects a treated aircraft and a certificate. Pre-embarkation treatment performed at AFW, the last port before a non-stop international arrival, is how operators meet it without spraying an occupied cabin at the far end.
Operators leaving AFW meet the disinsection requirement on routes in several directions: transatlantic to Italy, south to Jamaica, Barbados and Chile, and, on ultra-long-range aircraft, east to India. Chile, Paraguay, Italy are typical from Fort Worth. Whatever the destination, an aircraft leaving Perot Field Fort Worth Alliance Airport is expected to arrive treated, with a certificate, and pre-embarkation at the last US port is how we deliver that.
How it works on the AFW ramp
We treat the aircraft where it is parked at AFW, whether that is a hangar or the FBO ramp, and we build the timing backward from your boarding. Empty cabin, WHO method through cabin, flight deck and holds, rest and ventilation, release. Your crew receives the certificate before the door closes and your passengers never see the process.
