Aircraft Disinsection at Midland International Air and Space Port (MAF)
Midland International Air and Space Port sits between Midland and Odessa at the heart of the Permian Basin, the most productive oilfield in the United States. When disinsection is required for a flight out of MAF, our technicians complete the treatment before anyone steps aboard.
If your next departure from MAF 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. MAF sits in our central response region: typically same day to next morning, within 24 hours of confirmation.
About Midland International Air and Space Port
Energy is the story at MAF, where corporate jets shuttling oilfield executives and crews share the field with scheduled airline service. A 9,501-ft main runway and wide-open West Texas airspace make operations straightforward in nearly all weather. The airport carries a spaceport license, a nod to the region’s appetite for aerospace diversification. Traffic on the ramp tends to track activity in the oil patch.
Where the requirement comes from
The rule is set by the arriving country, not by the airport you leave from. If your destination requires disinsection, the aircraft must be treated at the last port before that country, and for a non-stop departure from Midland that port is MAF. Pre-embarkation treatment of the empty aircraft here is a method those countries accept.
MAF sends aircraft south: the Caribbean on short sectors and South America on long ones. Jamaica, Barbados, Chile and Paraguay all require disinsection on arrival, and Chile, Paraguay, Italy round out the usual list. Where a South American trip from Midland International Air and Space Port stops en route, the treatment plan changes, so we ask for the full routing before confirming.
How it works on the MAF ramp
On the day, the sequence at MAF 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.
