When flying private, the standard is clear: comfort, efficiency, and exclusivity from takeoff to touchdown. For high-net-worth travelers flying to, from, or over Mexico, one technical detail can disrupt the experience if not properly managed—SENEAM fees.
At Jetstime, we believe true luxury is felt when everything flows without friction. That’s why we anticipate what others tend to overlook. Below, we explain what these fees are, why they matter, and how we ensure they never interfere with your journey.
What Are SENEAM Fees?
SENEAM (Servicios a la Navegación en el Espacio Aéreo Mexicano) is the Mexican government agency responsible for managing air traffic control and navigation services. To fund its operations, it charges fees applicable to all flights—commercial and private—that:
- Land or depart within Mexican territory
- Overfly Mexican airspace
- Use en-route or airport navigation, communication, or surveillance services
Why These Fees Can Be a Headache
For private jet operators and passengers, time, predictability, and exclusivity are non-negotiable. However, SENEAM fees can become problematic if not handled by experienced professionals:
- Unpredictable billing: Charges are often issued after the flight without clear breakdowns.
- System unfamiliarity: Many foreign operators are unaware of Mexico’s requirements and deadlines.
- Risk of delays: Unpaid or poorly managed fees may result in denied permits or restricted airport access.
That’s why it’s essential to have a partner who not only understands the regulations—but proactively handles them for you.
