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 Broomfield non-stop and BJC 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.
From BJC the requirement is mostly a Pacific one: Australia and New Zealand require disinsection on every arriving international aircraft, and the Cook Islands, Fiji and the Solomon Islands require it too. Many itineraries from Broomfield stop in Hawaii, which then becomes the last US port and the place for pre-embarkation treatment; non-stop departures are treated here at BJC. Australia, New Zealand appear on the list as well.
The aircraft disinsection process on the BJC ramp
We treat the aircraft where it is parked at BJC, 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.
