Mexico Reopening Status

The following information regarding Mexico's reopening status is from Manny Aviation, a full-service handling company based in Mexico:

On June 1st, the Governor of the state of Quintana Roo (home of MMUN and MMCZ) announced a plan to reactivate the tourism industry. A traffic light model has been established for a gradual and orderly return to normality, based on factors such as geographic region and active cases.

Instructions have been issued for the reopening of 30% of the hotel sector, following strict hygiene protocols for guests and employees as well as measures in food services and limited occupancy levels. This is excellent news for tourism in Mexico as it points towards reopening more touristic areas.

For trip specific information, we recommend you contact your preferred handler to verify the measures implemented directly at the hotel.

It is vital to stay informed regarding the latest restrictions due to the coronavirus and the impact they may have on operations. Currently, Mexico is in Phase 3, which does not present significant changes concerning the previous phases.

Tourist flights are not prohibited, although it must be considered that the beautiful beaches, restaurants, and bars throughout the country were closed through May 31. In addition, most hotels are closed by official instructions.

Crew and passengers are still required to present a health questionnaire upon arrival. The best practice is to verify each location with your preferred handler.

Several Mexican airports were operating with restricted hours, including MMAN, MMCZ, MMDO, MMLM, MMLO, MMLP, MMLT, MMMD, MMML, MMMY, MMPR, MMPS, MMSD, MMTM, and MMTP. Confirm current hours and overtime availability with your handler before each operation.
