About Miami Executive Airport
Miami Executive Airport, in the southwestern suburbs, is South Florida’s southern business aviation field and a gateway to the Caribbean and Latin America. Departures to Barbados and South America leave from TMB daily, and its FBOs handle a large charter trade. Kendall’s field keeps its traffic lighter and its ramps quieter than the big airport up the road, which makes scheduling a pre-boarding treatment straightforward.
Where the aircraft disinsection requirement comes from
TMB 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.
TMB sends aircraft south: the Caribbean on short sectors and South America on long ones. Barbados, Chile and Paraguay require disinsection on arrival, Brazil does on a risk basis, and Barbados, Brazil, Paraguay round out the usual list. Where a South American trip from Miami Executive Airport stops en route, the treatment plan changes, so we ask for the full routing before confirming.
The aircraft disinsection process on the TMB ramp
Once the plan is set we work directly with the TMB 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.
