Aircraft Disinsection at Gulfport Biloxi International Airport (GPT)
Gulfport Biloxi International is the Mississippi Coast’s front door, where beach and casino traffic mixes with military movements. We provide on-airport, pre-boarding disinsection at GPT for any aircraft headed to a country that requires it.
If your next departure from GPT 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. We typically reach GPT within 24 to 36 hours of confirmation, and scheduled bookings are guaranteed for the departure.
About Gulfport Biloxi International Airport
Gulfport Biloxi International serves the Mississippi Gulf Coast’s casino resorts and seafood economy while hosting a significant military training operation on the field. Its 9,002-ft runway supports airline service, military airlift, and business jets bound for the coast. Leisure travel gives the schedule a tourist rhythm, while Guard training keeps the airfield active in every season.
Where the requirement comes from
Whatever the destination, the mechanism is the same: the arriving country requires the aircraft to have been disinsected, and pre-embarkation treatment at the last port before that country, performed on the empty aircraft, is a method it accepts. For a non-stop flight out of GPT, that last port is GPT.
GPT sends aircraft south: the Caribbean on short sectors and South America on long ones. Jamaica, Barbados, Chile and Paraguay all require disinsection on arrival, and Barbados, Chile, Paraguay round out the usual list. Where a South American trip from Gulfport Biloxi International Airport stops en route, the treatment plan changes, so we ask for the full routing before confirming.
How it works on the GPT ramp
On the day, the sequence at GPT is simple: our crew is at your hangar or FBO ahead of time, the cabin is confirmed empty and prepared, the treatment is applied to the WHO method through cabin, flight deck and holds, and the aircraft rests, ventilates and is released for boarding after the required wait. Your crew receives the certificate and the details to enter on the General Declaration before the door closes.
