Where the aircraft disinsection requirement comes from
The requirement belongs to the country you are flying to, and it is met at the last port before that country. Leave Indianapolis non-stop and IND is that port, so pre-embarkation treatment of the empty aircraft here, before boarding, satisfies the destinations that accept the method. Add a stop and the picture changes; tell us the routing and we will place the treatment correctly.
Operators leaving IND 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. Greece, India, Egypt are typical from Indianapolis. Whatever the destination, an aircraft leaving Indianapolis International 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 IND ramp
Once the plan is set we work directly with the IND FBO and your crew on access, ramp position and timing. Our technician arrives before the agreed slot, confirms the aircraft is empty with catering and cleaning done, and applies the WHO pre-embarkation treatment through the cabin, flight deck and holds. After the specified rest and ventilation the aircraft is released for boarding, certificate in hand.
