Aircraft Disinsection at Westchester County Airport (HPN)
Westchester County Airport serves the corporate flight departments of Fairfield and Westchester counties and a large share of the New York area’s long-range fleet. International departures from HPN routinely head for Europe and the Mediterranean.
If your next departure from HPN is to a country that requires disinsection, we come to your aircraft here, treat it empty before boarding to the WHO pre-embarkation method, and issue the certificate for the flight. Expect us at White Plains within 24 to 36 hours of confirmation; booked departures are guaranteed for the date.
About Westchester County Airport
Westchester County Airport serves the corporate flight departments of Fairfield and Westchester counties and a large charter clientele that prefers it to the New Jersey fields. Voluntary noise restrictions shape the schedule here, so we time treatments to the departure window your crew has planned. Long-range aircraft based at HPN fly to Europe and the Mediterranean regularly.
Where the requirement comes from
The requirement belongs to the country you are flying to, and it is met at the last port before that country. Leave White Plains non-stop and HPN is that port, so pre-embarkation treatment of the empty aircraft here, before boarding, satisfies the destinations that accept the method. Add a stop and the picture changes; tell us the routing and we will place the treatment correctly.
Departures from HPN that trigger a disinsection requirement are mostly transatlantic. Italy is the one that catches operators most often, because it applies to aircraft arriving from the United States; Greece joined the list in September 2025, and Greece, Morocco, Egypt, India follow. A non-stop crossing from Westchester County Airport makes HPN the last port before the destination, which is exactly where pre-embarkation treatment belongs.
How it works on the HPN ramp
We coordinate with your FBO and crew, arrive ahead of the agreed time, and treat the aircraft where it is parked once catering and cleaning are complete and the cabin is empty. Cabin, flight deck and holds are treated to the WHO method, the aircraft is ventilated and released for boarding after the required wait, and the certificate goes aboard with the flight documents. Passengers arrive to a treated aircraft.
