About Jacksonville International Airport
Jacksonville International serves northeast Florida’s corporate operators with a busy general aviation ramp and long runways. Transatlantic and Caribbean departures leave from JAX, and the airport is a convenient departure point for aircraft based along the First Coast.
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 Jacksonville non-stop and JAX 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 JAX 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. Barbados, Brazil, Paraguay are typical from Jacksonville. Whatever the destination, an aircraft leaving Jacksonville 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 JAX ramp
We coordinate with your FBO and crew at JAX, 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 Jacksonville flight documents. Passengers arrive to a treated aircraft.
