Aircraft Disinsection at Nashville International Airport (BNA)
Nashville International serves one of the fastest-growing corporate markets in the Southeast with a busy business aviation ramp. Transatlantic and Caribbean departures leave from BNA.
If your next departure from BNA 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. BNA sits in our central response region: typically same day to next morning, within 24 hours of confirmation.
About Nashville International Airport
Nashville International serves one of the fastest-growing corporate markets in the Southeast, with a business aviation ramp that has expanded to match. Transatlantic and Caribbean departures leave from BNA, and long-range aircraft are well accommodated.
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 BNA, that last port is BNA.
Operators leaving BNA meet the disinsection requirement on routes in several directions: transatlantic to Italy, south to Jamaica, Barbados and Chile, and, on ultra-long-range aircraft, east to India. Barbados, Chile, Paraguay are typical from Nashville. Whatever the destination, an aircraft leaving Nashville International Airport is expected to arrive treated, with a certificate, and pre-embarkation at the last US port is how we deliver that.
How it works on the BNA ramp
Once the plan is set we work directly with the BNA 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.

BNA disinsection questions, answered
Is BNA in your coverage?
It is. We treat aircraft at Nashville International Airport on the ramp or in the hangar before boarding, and we handle our own travel to Nashville. Send us the destination and date and we will confirm the plan.
Where do operators flying out of BNA usually need disinsection?
Most often for Jamaica, Barbados, Chile, Paraguay, which are typical destinations from Nashville. Many other countries require it as well; send us the exact route and we will tell you what applies to your aircraft.
Can you get to BNA on short notice?
Often, yes. We travel to Nashville from our base and handle our own logistics; the earlier we hear about a likely trip the more precisely we can time the treatment, but short-notice requests are a normal part of the work.
Our trip has a technical stop before the destination. Does that change things?
Yes, because pre-embarkation belongs at the last port before the destination country. Send us the full routing and we will confirm where the treatment should be performed and whether it can be done in the US.
