Member's Home Forums General Discussion Mexico Mexico Aeronautical & Regulatory *** UPDATED *** Mexico raises rates by over 400%

These rates were approved by Mexico's DGAC. Unfortunately, the DGAC does not have a current Director General since Gilberto Lopez Meyer left to assume the role of VP of Safety for IATA in Canada. It is unlikely that much can be done until there is a permanent Director General. GAP has been trying to restrict General Aviation in Guadalajara for several years now. Their total focus has been on Commercial Aviation. They have somehow convinced the DGAC to approve the increased rates and the minimum MTOW for calculating the rates at all of their airports. Talking to GAP will not do much. Pressure has to come form the Mexican Federal Government and the tourism industry.
