We have been advised by ARINC that the Mexican government requires that ALL aircraft (Private and Commercial) will require APIS processing starting tomorrow, December 31, 2013 and that enforcement begins as well. We have no official publication to this effect and there is tremendous confusion at the Mexican International airports. Nonetheless, we have to assume that this information is correct.

Knowing that this leaves our members with a very difficult situation, we have had no choice but to contract access to the private portal. As the cost to do is prohibitive for most aircraft operators, we have established member and non-member pricing to process Mexico APIS manifests. The costs are US$ 25 for members and US$ 35 for non-members. All of our Handling customers are automatically covered and this will be part of our service at no additional cost to you.

We regret that Mexico has pursued this strategy and has not allowed for a public portal. However, we have tried to develop a pricing model that covers our cost for submitting the APIS manifests for our members. To file an APIS through us, you will need to do the following:

1) Go to our on-line Pilot Shop Pilot Shop and purchase the appropriate number of flights.
2) Call our Flight Coordinator at 1-786-206-6147 Ext 303 to obtain our Excel spreadsheet on which to enter your information
3) Email us the spreadsheet for processing.
