Aircraft Disinsection at Myrtle Beach International Airport (MYR)
Myrtle Beach International puts arriving vacationers steps from sixty miles of Grand Strand beaches and one of the densest concentrations of golf courses in the country. When your itinerary out of MYR ends in a country that enforces disinsection, we handle the pre-embarkation treatment right on the field.
If your next departure from MYR 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. Expect us at Myrtle Beach within 24 to 36 hours of confirmation; booked departures are guaranteed for the date.
About Myrtle Beach International Airport
Built on a former Air Force base, MYR retains a 9,503-ft runway that comfortably handles any aircraft the leisure market sends. Traffic swells dramatically from spring through early fall as airlines add seasonal routes to feed the tourism economy. Outside the terminal, the field supports a steady flow of golf-bound private and charter aircraft. The Grand Strand’s hospitality industry is the engine behind nearly everything that moves here.
Where the 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 MYR, that last port is MYR.
From MYR the requirement most often shows up on short Caribbean sectors, Jamaica and Barbados above all, where the flight is so routine that the arrival rules get overlooked. Barbados, Chile, Paraguay are the other common cases. The length of the flight out of Myrtle Beach does not change the requirement; a treated aircraft and a certificate are expected on arrival either way.
How it works on the MYR ramp
We coordinate with your FBO and crew at MYR, arrive ahead of the agreed time, and treat the aircraft where it is parked once catering and cleaning are complete and the cabin is empty. Cabin, flight deck and holds are treated to the WHO method, the aircraft is ventilated and released for boarding after the required wait, and the certificate goes aboard with the Myrtle Beach flight documents. Passengers arrive to a treated aircraft.
