About President Donald J. Trump International Airport
West Palm Beach’s international airport, renamed in 2026, is one of the busiest business aviation airports in the country during the winter season, when the ramps fill with long-range aircraft. Caribbean and transatlantic departures leave throughout the season, and hangar space is at a premium, so we coordinate access early.
Where the aircraft disinsection requirement comes from
DJT 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 DJT the requirement most often shows up on short Caribbean sectors, Barbados above all, where the flight is so routine that the arrival rules get overlooked. Barbados, Brazil, Paraguay are the other common cases. The length of the flight out of West Palm Beach does not change the requirement; a treated aircraft and a certificate are expected on arrival either way.
The aircraft disinsection process on the DJT ramp
Once the plan is set we work directly with the DJT FBO and your crew on access, ramp position and timing. Our technician arrives before the agreed slot, confirms the aircraft is empty with catering and cleaning done, and applies the WHO pre-embarkation treatment through the cabin, flight deck and holds. After the specified rest and ventilation the aircraft is released for boarding, certificate in hand.
