Aircraft Disinsection in Minneapolis
The Twin Cities host some of the largest corporate flight departments in the Midwest, and their transatlantic flying to Italy and Greece, plus winter trips to Barbados, require the aircraft to arrive disinsected. We perform pre-embarkation disinsection at Minneapolis-St. Paul, Flying Cloud and St. Paul Downtown, on the empty aircraft before boarding.
Why Minneapolis departures need a disinsection plan
Minnesota is inside our central response region, so a Flying Cloud or St. Paul departure can often be served on shorter notice. Italy non-stop is the clean case, treated at the departure ramp; Egypt and India routings that stop in Europe move the treatment to that stop, which we plan with you.
From the Midwest the routes that most often trigger a disinsection requirement are transatlantic, Italy in particular, along with winter Caribbean flying to Barbados.
Minneapolis sits in our central response region: book 36 to 48 hours ahead as a rule, and some departures can be served with 12 to 36 hours of notice. We travel to the aircraft; nothing repositions to us.
