Aircraft Disinsection at Capital Region International Airport (LAN)
Capital Region International serves Lansing, Michigan’s seat of government and a longtime automaking town. Our team covers LAN, treating departing aircraft before boarding whenever the destination country requires disinsection.
If your next departure from LAN 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. Expect us at Lansing within 24 to 36 hours of confirmation; booked departures are guaranteed for the date.
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.
Where the 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 Jamaica, Barbados and Chile, and, on ultra-long-range aircraft, east to India. Greece, Jamaica, 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.
How it works 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.
