Mexico’s civil aviation authority (AFAC) has discontinued its annual entry permit for private aviation, with aircraft operators and aircraft only able to obtain single-use permits.

According to Juan Muniz, lead global regulatory service specialist with trip support provider Universal Weather and Aviation, the single- and multiple-entry permits have been replaced with a single-entry authorization (AIU), which is valid for 180 days. It will be issued to the aircraft on arrival at the destination, but local authorities must still be provided with the flight, aircraft, and crew information ahead of time.
