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, where some departures can be served with 12 to 36 hours of notice.
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 aircraft disinsection requirement comes from
The requirement belongs to the country you are flying to, and it is met at the last port before that country. Leave Nashville non-stop and BNA is that port, so pre-embarkation treatment of the empty aircraft here, before boarding, satisfies the destinations that accept the method. Add a stop and the picture changes; tell us the routing and we will place the treatment correctly.
Operators leaving BNA meet the disinsection requirement on routes in several directions: transatlantic to Italy, south to Barbados and Chile, and, on ultra-long-range aircraft, east to India. Barbados, Brazil, 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.
The aircraft disinsection process on the BNA ramp
Nothing about the BNA treatment disrupts your departure. We time it to your boarding, coordinate access and position with the FBO, and treat the empty aircraft, cabin, flight deck and holds, to the WHO method once catering and cleaning are finished. The aircraft ventilates for the required wait, the certificate goes aboard, and passengers step onto a treated aircraft without ever seeing the process.
