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 Salt Lake City non-stop and SLC 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 SLC 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 Salt Lake City stop in Hawaii, which then becomes the last US port and the place for pre-embarkation treatment; non-stop departures are treated here at SLC. Australia, New Zealand appear on the list as well.
The aircraft disinsection process on the SLC ramp
We coordinate with your FBO and crew at SLC, arrive ahead of the agreed time, and treat the aircraft where it is parked once catering and cleaning are complete and the cabin is empty. Cabin, flight deck and holds are treated to the WHO method, the aircraft is ventilated and released for boarding after the required wait, and the certificate goes aboard with the Salt Lake City flight documents. Passengers arrive to a treated aircraft.
