Aircraft Disinsection at Jackson-Medgar Wiley Evers International Airport (JAN)
Jackson-Medgar Wiley Evers International is Mississippi’s capital-city airport and the state’s principal airline gateway. Before a JAN departure lifts off for a disinsection country, we treat the aircraft at its stand.
If your next departure from JAN 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. We typically reach JAN within 24 to 36 hours of confirmation, and scheduled bookings are guaranteed for the departure.
About Jackson-Medgar Wiley Evers International Airport
Named for the civil rights leader Medgar Evers, Jackson’s international airport handles the airline and corporate traffic of Mississippi’s capital and largest metro. State government, healthcare systems, and the surrounding agricultural economy give the field its business base. Parallel runways serve the traffic, the longer of them stretching 8,500-ft.
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 JAN 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.
JAN sends aircraft south: the Caribbean on short sectors and South America on long ones. Jamaica, Barbados, Chile and Paraguay all require disinsection on arrival, and Barbados, Chile, Paraguay round out the usual list. Where a South American trip from Jackson-Medgar Wiley Evers International Airport stops en route, the treatment plan changes, so we ask for the full routing before confirming.
How it works on the JAN ramp
Once the plan is set we work directly with the JAN 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.
