Aircraft Disinsection in Washington, DC
The Washington area flies government, contractor and association traffic across the Atlantic every day, and Italy, Greece, Egypt and Morocco all require arriving aircraft to be disinsected. We perform pre-embarkation disinsection at Dulles, Reagan National, Manassas, BWI and Martin State, on the empty aircraft before boarding.
Why Washington, DC departures need a disinsection plan
Dulles carries the long-range departures and Manassas the corporate reliever traffic; both are last ports for the non-stop transatlantic routes that need the certificate. Egypt is the Washington route that most often involves a European stop, and when it does the treatment moves to that stop. Send the full itinerary and we will tell you where it belongs.
From the Northeast the routes that most often trigger a disinsection requirement are transatlantic: Italy above all, plus Greece, Morocco, Egypt and, on ultra-long-range aircraft, India non-stop.
