Where the aircraft disinsection requirement comes from
RVS 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.
Operators leaving RVS meet the disinsection requirement on routes in several directions: transatlantic to Italy, south to Barbados and Chile, and, on ultra-long-range aircraft, east to India. Brazil, Paraguay, Italy are typical from Tulsa. Whatever the destination, an aircraft leaving Tulsa Riverside Airport (Richard Lloyd Jones Jr.) is expected to arrive treated, with a certificate, and pre-embarkation at the last US port is how we deliver that.
The aircraft disinsection process on the RVS ramp
At Tulsa Riverside Airport (Richard Lloyd Jones Jr.) 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.
Also a Pure Aviation Detailing field
Because RVS is inside Pure Aviation Detailing’s regular service area, we can often combine a disinsection treatment with detailing on the same visit to Tulsa. The parent-site page for RVS covers the detailing side; this page covers the treatment.
