Aircraft Disinsection at Indianapolis Executive Airport (TYQ)
Indianapolis Executive, north of the city at Zionsville, is the metro’s business aviation reliever, home to corporate and charter aircraft that fly well beyond the Midwest. If your next departure from TYQ is to a destination that requires disinsection, we come to your aircraft here and treat it before boarding.
If your next departure from TYQ 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. Zionsville is in our central response region, where 12 to 36 hours of notice is often enough.
About Indianapolis Executive Airport
Indianapolis Executive gives the north side of the metro a dedicated corporate field with modern hangars and none of the airline congestion of the international airport. Operators here fly the Caribbean and the Atlantic, and the treatment fits into a normal TYQ departure on the ramp or in the hangar.
Where the aircraft disinsection 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 TYQ, the last port before a non-stop international arrival, is how operators meet it without spraying an occupied cabin at the far end.
Departures from TYQ 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, India, Egypt follow. A non-stop crossing from Indianapolis Executive Airport makes TYQ the last port before the destination, which is exactly where pre-embarkation treatment belongs.
The aircraft disinsection process on the TYQ ramp
We treat the aircraft where it is parked at TYQ, 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.
