Aircraft Disinsection
These pages provide information on the responsibilities and functions of airlines in relation to cabin and hold disinsection of aircraft entering Australian airports from overseas.
Australian legislation states that all aircraft entering Australia must be treated, in a manner approved by the Director of Quarantine, for the purpose of destroying insects and disease vectors.
The disinsection of international aircraft helps to protect Australia from a range of vectors of human diseases, and pests of animal and plant quarantine concern.
