Aircraft Disinsection in Philadelphia
The Philadelphia corridor is home to pharmaceutical and financial flight departments that fly the Atlantic weekly, and Italy, Greece, Egypt and Morocco all require arriving aircraft to be disinsected. We perform pre-embarkation disinsection at Philadelphia International, Northeast Philadelphia, Wilmington and Atlantic City, on the empty aircraft before boarding.
Why Philadelphia departures need a disinsection plan
Northeast Philadelphia and Wilmington carry the corporate traffic and are the last ports for most non-stop transatlantic departures from the region, so the treatment happens at those ramps. India non-stop on the longest-range aircraft is the other route that needs the certificate here.
From the Northeast the routes that most often trigger a disinsection requirement are transatlantic: Italy above all, plus Greece, Morocco, Egypt and, on ultra-long-range aircraft, India non-stop.
