Aircraft Disinsection at Jackson Hole Airport (JAC)

About Jackson Hole Airport
Jackson Hole is the only commercial airport inside a US national park and a major seasonal business aviation destination. Long-range international departures leave from JAC in both summer and winter seasons, and its FBO handles a large charter trade.
Where the 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 Jackson non-stop and JAC 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.
From JAC the requirement is mostly a Pacific one: Australia and New Zealand require disinsection on every arriving international aircraft, and the Cook Islands and Solomon Islands require it too. Many itineraries from Jackson stop in Hawaii, which then becomes the last US port and the place for pre-embarkation treatment; non-stop departures are treated here at JAC. New Zealand, Italy, Jamaica appear on the list as well.
How it works on the JAC ramp
We coordinate with your FBO and crew, 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 flight documents. Passengers arrive to a treated aircraft.
