Mexico-bound Business Aircraft See Rise in Ramp Checks
Foreign registered aircraft, particularly those from the U.S., are likely to face inspection on arrival.

Foreign business aircraft arriving at Mexican airports have noted an increase in ramp checks by authorities. According to flight-planning firm OpsGroup, operators, particularly of N-registered aircraft, have reported being subjected to inspections at Monterrey, Loreto, Tampico, and Veracruz, while southern entry ports such as Tapachula and Cozumel are likely to be affected as well. The company advised, “If you are flying anywhere in Mexico over the next month or so, you should prepare for a ramp check!”
