Where the requirement comes from
GEG is where the requirement is satisfied for a non-stop flight, because pre-embarkation treatment belongs at the last port before the destination country. The arriving authority requires the aircraft to have been disinsected; treating it empty here, before boarding, meets that requirement for the countries that accept the method.
From GEG the requirement is mostly a Pacific one: Australia and New Zealand require disinsection on every arriving international aircraft, and the Cook Islands and Solomon Islands require it too. Many itineraries from Spokane stop in Hawaii, which then becomes the last US port and the place for pre-embarkation treatment; non-stop departures are treated here at GEG. New Zealand, Cook Islands, Chile appear on the list as well.
How it works on the GEG ramp
At Spokane International Airport the treatment fits into the normal departure sequence. Catering and cleaning finish, the cabin is confirmed empty, and our technician applies the WHO pre-embarkation treatment through cabin, flight deck and holds. The aircraft rests, ventilates for the required wait, and is released for boarding with the certificate aboard and the treatment details in the crew’s hands for the General Declaration.
