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. Response to Zionsville is typically same day to next morning, within 24 hours of confirmation.
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 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, Jamaica, 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.
How it works on the TYQ ramp
On the day, the sequence at TYQ 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.
