Where the aircraft disinsection requirement comes from
AFW 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.
Operators leaving AFW meet the disinsection requirement on routes in several directions: transatlantic to Italy, south to Barbados and Chile, and, on ultra-long-range aircraft, east to India. Brazil, 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.
The aircraft disinsection process on the AFW ramp
We coordinate with your FBO and crew at AFW, 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 Fort Worth flight documents. Passengers arrive to a treated aircraft.
