About Wichita Dwight D. Eisenhower National Airport
Wichita is the Air Capital of the World, home to Textron Aviation and a concentration of aircraft manufacturing, completion and service work. New and refurbished aircraft leave ICT for international delivery flights week in, week out, alongside the region’s own corporate operators.
Where the requirement comes from
Think of it from the arrival end: the destination expects a treated aircraft and a certificate. Pre-embarkation gives it both, provided the treatment happens at the last port before that country. Non-stop from ICT, that is ICT; with a stop en route, the plan changes and we tell you how.
Operators leaving ICT meet the disinsection requirement on routes in several directions: transatlantic to Italy, south to Jamaica, Barbados and Chile, and, on ultra-long-range aircraft, east to India. Greece, Jamaica, India, Egypt are typical from Wichita. Whatever the destination, an aircraft leaving Wichita Dwight D. Eisenhower National Airport is expected to arrive treated, with a certificate, and pre-embarkation at the last US port is how we deliver that.
How it works on the ICT ramp
On the day, the sequence at ICT is simple: our crew is at your hangar or FBO ahead of time, the cabin is confirmed empty and prepared, the treatment is applied to the WHO method through cabin, flight deck and holds, and the aircraft rests, ventilates and is released for boarding after the required wait. Your crew receives the certificate and the details to enter on the General Declaration before the door closes.
