Aircraft Disinsection in Lansing, MI: Capital Region International Airport (LAN)

About Capital Region International Airport

Lansing pairs state government with a long automaking tradition, and Capital Region International carries both passengers and a notable cargo trade for mid-Michigan. A foreign trade zone has made the airport a logistics asset well beyond its passenger schedules. Business aircraft supporting the auto industry and the capitol round out activity on the 8,506-ft main runway.

On the field at LAN

Located 3 miles northwest of Lansing in Michigan, Capital Region International Airport sits at 861 feet. The main runway, 10R/28L, is 8,506 feet of asphalt. It is a towered field with a Part 139 airport operating certificate. The FAA airport record notes U.S. Customs service at LAN by arrangement. FBOs serving LAN include Avflight Lansing; we treat the aircraft at whichever ramp or hangar it is parked on. The treatment is scheduled around your departure from LAN and completed before passengers arrive.

Where the aircraft disinsection requirement comes from

LAN is where the requirement is satisfied for a non-stop flight, because pre-embarkation treatment belongs at the last port before the destination country. The arriving authority requires the aircraft to have been disinsected; treating it empty here, before boarding, meets that requirement for the countries that accept the method.

Operators leaving LAN 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 Lansing. Whatever the destination, an aircraft leaving Capital Region 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 LAN ramp

On the day, the sequence at LAN is simple: our crew is at your hangar or FBO ahead of time, the cabin is confirmed empty and prepared, the treatment is applied to the WHO method through cabin, flight deck and holds, and the aircraft rests, ventilates and is released for boarding after the required wait. Your crew receives the certificate and the details to enter on the General Declaration before the door closes.
