Aircraft Disinsection at New Century AirCenter (IXD)
New Century AirCenter, the former naval air station south of Kansas City, offers long runways and hangar space that suit large, long-range business aircraft. It is a field our detailing team knows well.
If your next departure from IXD 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. IXD sits in our central response region: typically same day to next morning, within 24 hours of confirmation.
About New Century AirCenter
New Century AirCenter, the former naval air station south of Kansas City, offers long runways and hangar space that suit large, long-range business aircraft, and it is a field our detailing team knows well. International departures for the Kansas City region’s operators leave from IXD. The former naval runways give the southwest metro serious pavement, and the hangar campus holds a growing share of the region’s corporate fleet.
Where the 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 Olathe non-stop and IXD 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 IXD 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. Greece, Jamaica, India, Egypt are typical from Olathe. Whatever the destination, an aircraft leaving New Century AirCenter 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 IXD ramp
Nothing about the IXD 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.
Also a Pure Aviation Detailing field
Our detailing crews from Pure Aviation Detailing work New Century AirCenter regularly, which means the people treating your aircraft for an international departure already know Olathe, its FBOs and its hangars. Interior, exterior and coating work at this field is described on the Pure Aviation Detailing IXD page.
