Welcome to FDA's Interstate Travel Program Approved Conveyance Watering Points and Servicing Areas Search Tool. This specific tab helps you find FDA approved airport watering point and servicing area locations for aircraft.

Importance of this Webpage

This searchable inventory allows firms such as airport authorities, airlines, third party companies to know whether the aircraft watering points and/or servicing areas are approved by FDA. Approved locations currently meet FDA's regulatory requirements in 21 CFR part 1240 - Control of Communicable Diseases and 21 CFR part 1250 - Interstate Conveyance Sanitation as of the last update listed on this website. Meeting these requirements assists in ensuring potable water is safe for consumption onboard the aircraft and airport watering points and/or servicing areas are maintained in a sanitary condition.
