Many of us are aware that the capital of Mexico is Mexico City. However, not many of us know that the capital state of Mexico is Toluca.
Toluca, also called Toluca de Lerdo, is at the heart of a growing and expanding urban area making this area the 5th largest area in Mexico by population. The Licenciado Adolfo Mateos International Airport [IATA: TLC/ICAO: MMTO], otherwise known as the Toluca International Airport, can handle around 6 million passengers in a year.
Toluca’s International Airport has always been a primary option for General Aviation [GA] flights heading to Mexico City. MMTO is a convenient point of entry for someone headed to the nation’s capital city, which makes our Toluca FBO very strategically placed and ready to complete any journey.

An Unbeatable Location
MMTO is recognized as a regional hub and is an ideal airport to taxi into for those that intend to head to the heart of Mexico City, which is only a thirty-minute drive away. The airport is close to more than just Mexico City with Valle de Bravo/Avandaro being one hour and twenty minutes away by car or twenty minutes by helicopter. Visitors may also like the views as they travel an hour and a half by car to get to the volcano, Nevado de Toluca National Park.
This private airport is also a great stopping point for travelers flying to South America from the United States because the aircraft can make a stop to refuel, resupply, or rest before taking off for the final set destination.
Landing in Toluca
It’s a known fact that the two hardest parts of a flight are also the essential parts of a flight – landing, and take-off. However, when flying into Toluca aircraft operators need to be aware of some other challenges. The airport is 8750-ft [2667 meters] above sea level, and the weather can sometimes be a little challenging – expect rain most of the time and expect fog in the early hours of the morning.
Certifications
Our personnel and teams are dedicated and trained to deliver a high-quality service, while meeting the highest safety standards. Because of this dedication, the Toluca FBO received both the ISBAH and the ISBAO, two international certifications by IBAC.
SENEAM Fees
SENAM fees are fees for flying into or through Mexico. These fees were implemented in 2011 by the Secretariat of Communications and Transportation. All the planes that are flying in out of the country get tracked by this agency and are expected to pay the aviation fuel uplift charge which is inclusive of the SENEAM fees.
Cabotage Regulations
The Mexican authorities monitor all flights strictly for any cabotage violations, especially when a foreign aircraft transports Mexican citizens. It’s for this reason that a letter needs to be provided, which needs to detail what the relationship is between the passenger and the organization that owns the aircraft.
Required Permits
In Mexico, it is mandatory for aircrafts to have a landing permit. However, acquiring the permit is an easy process that takes only twenty minutes after landing. Our team can handle all permit requirements to ensure a smooth and flawless journey.
