Mexico has introduced a major change to its air navigation policies, with the news that single-entry charter landing permits will no longer be issued by AFAC, the country’s civil aviation authority.

According to Universal Aviation Mexico, this means all charter operators must now hold a blanket permit validated by AFAC along with a current air operator certificate (AOC) to operate in Mexican airspace, with only those aircraft listed on the permit eligible for entry. While operators can continue using aircraft already covered under valid permits, new aircraft not yet listed on the permit will be denied.
