Empire Aircraft Detailing
WHO-compliant aircraft cabin disinsection for operators flying international routes from the San Francisco Bay Area. Empire Aircraft Detailing applies approved insecticide treatments to cabins, galleys, lavatories, and cargo holds to meet the entry requirements of destinations that mandate disinsection. Discreet, documented, and crew-coordinated service at San Jose International (KSJC), Reid-Hillview (KRHV), Buchanan Field (KCCR), and every Bay Area airport we serve.
Our Process
Disinsection is the treatment of an aircraft cabin and cargo areas with approved insecticides to kill insects such as mosquitoes that can carry disease. A number of countries require disinsection for arriving aircraft to protect public health and local agriculture. Empire Aircraft Detailing performs disinsection using the products and methods recognized by the World Health Organization and accepted by the destinations that mandate it.
We support both recognized approaches. Residual disinsection applies a long-lasting insecticide to internal cabin surfaces on a periodic schedule, so the aircraft remains treated across multiple flights. Pre-flight and top-of-descent aerosol methods treat the cabin for a specific departure. We help operators select the method their destination and operation require, and apply it correctly and safely.
We use only insecticides recognized for aircraft disinsection, applied at the correct dosage for the treated volume. Application follows the manufacturer and health-authority guidance for cabin, galley, lavatory, flight deck, and cargo areas, protecting avionics and finishes while ensuring the treatment is effective.
Destinations that require disinsection also require proof it was performed. We provide a signed affidavit for every disinsection job, and a Certificate of Residual Disinsection for residual treatments, documenting the product used, method, date, and areas treated. Your crew can present compliant paperwork to arrival authorities and avoid delays or on-arrival treatment.

Operators flying from the San Francisco Bay Area to destinations in the South Pacific, Caribbean, parts of Asia, and other regions frequently encounter disinsection requirements. Handling it properly before departure is far less disruptive than an on-arrival treatment that can delay passengers and expose the cabin to an unfamiliar process. Empire Aircraft Detailing coordinates disinsection with your trip schedule at KSJC, KRHV, KCCR, and every Bay Area airport we serve, so the aircraft departs compliant and passenger-ready. Because we already handle your cabin detailing, disinsection folds naturally into cabin preparation.
Disinsection is a health-and-safety procedure, and it is applied with the same care and discretion we bring to every cabin service. We coordinate timing with your crew and FBO, ventilate and prepare the cabin appropriately, protect sensitive avionics and soft goods, and leave the interior clean and ready for passengers. Every engagement is backed by our Fully Insured with Hangarkeepers coverage. We provide a signed affidavit for every job, and a Certificate of Residual Disinsection for residual treatments, for your records and for arrival authorities.
