On the field at MGM
Montgomery Regional (Dannelly Field) Airport (MGM) sits 6 miles southwest of Montgomery, Alabama, at an elevation of 221 feet. Its longest runway, 10/28, measures 9,020 by 150 feet, asphalt; the field has 3 runways in all. It is a towered field with a Part 139 airport operating certificate. FBOs serving MGM include Montgomery Aviation; we treat the aircraft at whichever ramp or hangar it is parked on. The treatment is scheduled around your departure from MGM and completed before passengers arrive.
Where the aircraft disinsection requirement comes from
Whatever the destination, the mechanism is the same: the arriving country requires the aircraft to have been disinsected, and pre-embarkation treatment at the last port before that country, performed on the empty aircraft, is a method it accepts. For a non-stop flight out of MGM, that last port is MGM.
From MGM the requirement most often shows up on short Caribbean sectors, Barbados above all, where the flight is so routine that the arrival rules get overlooked. Barbados, Brazil, Paraguay are the other common cases. The length of the flight out of Montgomery does not change the requirement; a treated aircraft and a certificate are expected on arrival either way.
The aircraft disinsection process on the MGM ramp
On the day, the sequence at MGM 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.
