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. Olathe is in our central response region, where 12 to 36 hours of notice is often enough.
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 aircraft disinsection requirement comes from
No US authority requires disinsection on departure. The obligation is created by the arriving country, which expects a treated aircraft and a certificate. Pre-embarkation treatment performed at IXD, the last port before a non-stop international arrival, is how operators meet it without spraying an occupied cabin at the far end.
Operators leaving IXD 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. Greece, 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.
The aircraft disinsection process on the IXD ramp
We treat the aircraft where it is parked at IXD, whether that is a hangar or the FBO ramp, and we build the timing backward from your boarding. Empty cabin, WHO method through cabin, flight deck and holds, rest and ventilation, release. Your crew receives the certificate before the door closes and your passengers never see the process.
Also a Pure Aviation Detailing field
IXD is one of the airports our parent company, Pure Aviation Detailing, services for mobile aircraft detailing, so our team is already familiar with the ramp, the FBOs and the operators here. See the Pure Aviation Detailing page for IXD for interior, exterior and ceramic-coating work at this field.
