Aircraft Disinsection for Flights to Brunei
Brunei requires disinsection on arriving international aircraft. It is a rare destination for US operators, usually reached on ultra-long-range aircraft with a technical stop, and the requirement is best planned before the trip is filed.
Why the requirement exists
Dengue is endemic in Borneo and across Southeast Asia, and Brunei’s health authorities look for arriving aircraft to have been treated. As with every destination on this list, the requirement is about the aircraft, not the type of operation.
How we handle it
Because most US departures to Brunei involve a stop, the treatment plan depends on the routing. Send us the full itinerary and we will confirm exactly what your aircraft needs and where the treatment should be performed.

Destination, departure airport, dates. We confirm the requirement, come to the aircraft, and handle the certificate.
Two things to settle before you file.
Routing. Pre-embarkation covers the flight it is performed for and is done at the last port before Brunei. Non-stop from the US, that is your departure airport. With a stop en route, send us the full itinerary and we will confirm where the treatment belongs.
Timing. We can often accommodate short-notice requests, but a trip we hear about early is a trip we can plan around your boarding without compromise. Send the route as soon as it is likely.
What the arrival authority sees.
An aircraft that arrives treated, ventilated and boarded in the normal way, carrying a disinsection certificate in the format the destination accepts, with the treatment recorded on the crew’s General Declaration. Arrival becomes a formality. An aircraft that arrives without a verified treatment is typically treated on arrival with passengers aboard, under supervision, sometimes at the operator’s expense.
