Management: Mitigating Caribbean Access Restrictions

Operators flying to Mexico should be mindful of policy changes impacting business aviation. Some apply to all flights to, from and within Mexico, while others apply to specific airports.

Starting in July 2023, Mexican Air Navigation Services (SENAM) will no longer authorize flight plans for aircraft registrations with outstanding overflight debts in Mexican airspace.

Mexico’s Federal Civil Aviation Agency announced it will increase the number of ramp checks of foreign business aircraft and crews between now and Jan 20, 2023.

Several countries in the Caribbean are creating new requirements to harmonize with International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) standards and recommended practices (SARPs).
