About Kahului Airport
Kahului Airport serves Maui with a busy business aviation ramp and is a departure point for Pacific itineraries continuing to Australia, New Zealand and the islands. We come to OGG for pre-embarkation treatment before the international leg.
Where the requirement comes from
Think of it from the arrival end: the destination expects a treated aircraft and a certificate. Pre-embarkation gives it both, provided the treatment happens at the last port before that country. Non-stop from OGG, that is OGG; with a stop en route, the plan changes and we tell you how.
From OGG the requirement is mostly a Pacific one: Australia and New Zealand require disinsection on every arriving international aircraft, and the Cook Islands and Solomon Islands require it too. Many itineraries from Kahului stop in Hawaii, which then becomes the last US port and the place for pre-embarkation treatment; non-stop departures are treated here at OGG. New Zealand, Cook Islands, Solomon Islands appear on the list as well.
How it works on the OGG ramp
We treat the aircraft where it is parked at OGG, whether that is a hangar or the FBO ramp, and we build the timing backward from your boarding. Empty cabin, WHO method through cabin, flight deck and holds, rest and ventilation, release. Your crew receives the certificate before the door closes and your passengers never see the process.
