Toluca International (TLC/MMTO) is the preferred private-aviation gateway to Mexico City: a long runway at altitude, CAT II/IIIA ILS, on-site customs and immigration, and a dense ecosystem of premium FBOs. Located west of the capital and close to business districts like Santa Fe, Toluca delivers the speed, privacy, and reliability high-net-worth travelers expect. Talk to Jetstime to plan your next arrival.
Why Toluca Works for Private Jets
- Performance at altitude: Field elevation ~2,660 m (8,730 ft) with a 4,310 m (14,140 ft) runway—ideal for super-mids and large-cabin aircraft operating “hot-and-high.” Airport specs.
- Low-vis capability: Among Mexico’s earliest airports with ILS CAT II/IIIA approaches—added margins in challenging weather. See instrument procedures.
- On-site CIQ: Private international arrivals clear directly at the FBO; Jetstime pre-coordinates to keep you curb-to-wheels-up fast.
- Proximity to CDMX: Many operators cite ~30 minutes (traffic-dependent) to central Mexico City; helicopter transfers cut that further.
Our Toluca FBO (MMTO): Jetstime’s Dedicated Base
Jetstime operates from a single, trusted FBO partner at Toluca (TLC/MMTO). That exclusivity gives you consistent service standards, predictable turn times, and one point of contact for everything—from CIQ to catering. If your itinerary changes, our on-site team adjusts in real time so you stay on schedule.
- Private lounge & discreet curbside: arrive directly at our Toluca FBO entrance for low-visibility boarding and quick departures.
- On-site CIQ coordination: our team pre-checks documents and coordinates Customs & Immigration to streamline arrival and departure. See our Mexico regulatory updates.
- Hangar & ramp options: overnight hangarage on request (subject to availability), plus GPU, lav, potable water, and oxygen service to protect your aircraft and interiors at altitude.
- Fuel & SAF on request: JET-A with rigorous quality control and transparent pricing; SAF can be arranged depending on supply. Learn more about SAF from IATA.
- 24/7 operations: support for early departures and late arrivals; after-hours CIQ available by arrangement.
- Security & compliance: vetted staff, camera coverage, and procedures aligned with IS-BAH/IS-BAO best practices; full AFAC compliance for permits and insurance. For context on current rules, see this overview from AIN.
How it works: your Jetstime coordinator blocks space at our Toluca FBO, pre-files APIS, assigns handlers, and shares a minute-by-minute plan. On the day of travel, arrive at our private entrance, clear CIQ on site, board, and go.

Arrival & Paperwork (2025 Cheat-Sheet)
- APIS: Private flights to/from Mexico must file Mexican APIS. Jetstime prepares and submits your manifest. AOPA overview.
- Private (non-revenue): Mexico discontinued annual/multiple-entry permits—now it’s single-entry authorizations. What changed in 2024.
- Charter (non-scheduled): In 2025, AFAC extended lead times (typically 10 business days) and tightened insurance requirements (exact make/model/serial & tail to match registration). AIN report.
- Airport access: AFAC has limited GA/charter to a defined set of public airports—Toluca remains fully viable. Details.
