Aircraft Disinsection in San Diego
San Diego flight departments fly the Pacific to Australia and New Zealand and south along the coast to Chile, three destinations that require arriving aircraft to be disinsected. We perform pre-embarkation disinsection at San Diego International and McClellan-Palomar in Carlsbad, on the empty aircraft before boarding.
Why San Diego departures need a disinsection plan
Most San Diego Pacific itineraries stage through Honolulu, which moves the treatment to the last US port; a non-stop departure on an ultra-long-range aircraft is treated at the San Diego ramp. Chile non-stop is the other route that most often needs the certificate from here.
From the West Coast the routes that most often trigger a disinsection requirement are Pacific: Australia and New Zealand first, then the Cook Islands and the Philippines, plus South America to Chile.
