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 aircraft disinsection requirement comes from
The rule is set by the arriving country, not by the airport you leave from. If your destination requires disinsection, the aircraft must be treated at the last port before that country, and for a non-stop departure from Jackson that port is JAC. Pre-embarkation treatment of the empty aircraft here is a method those countries accept.
From JAC the requirement is mostly a Pacific one: Australia and New Zealand require disinsection on every arriving international aircraft, and the Cook Islands, Fiji and the 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. Australia, New Zealand appear on the list as well.
The aircraft disinsection process on the JAC ramp
Once the plan is set we work directly with the JAC 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.
