Aircraft rental

Renting an aircraft in Mexico has never been more accessible. Whether you need a small turboprop for a short hop or a large-cabin jet for an international trip, this guide covers everything you need to know about aircraft rental in Mexico.

Types of Aircraft Available

Turboprops (King Air 350, Pilatus PC-12): Ideal for short routes under 1.5 hours. Slower but more economical, starting around $2,000 USD/hr. Can land on shorter runways, perfect for remote destinations.

Light Jets (Phenom 100, Learjet 35A): The sweet spot for domestic travel. 4-7 passengers, 700+ km/h, from $6,000 USD/hr. Perfect for Mexico City to Cancun, Monterrey, or Guadalajara.

Mid-Size Jets (Phenom 300, Hawker 800): More range and cabin space. 7-8 passengers, stand-up cabin, from $7,500 USD/hr. Great for longer domestic routes or short international flights.

Heavy Jets (Challenger 604, Gulfstream G450/G550): Maximum luxury and range. 12-16 passengers, full galley, sleeping capability, from $9,500 USD/hr. Required for transcontinental routes.

VIP Airliners (Embraer 145 VIP): For large groups of 15-50 passengers. Corporate events, sports teams, weddings. From $13,000 USD/hr.

How to Choose the Right Aircraft

Consider these factors when selecting your aircraft:

  • Number of passengers: Don't oversize — a light jet for 3 people is perfect and much cheaper than a heavy jet.
  • Distance: Light jets handle most domestic routes. International flights may need mid-size or heavy jets.
  • Luggage: Bringing golf clubs, surfboards, or lots of bags? Larger aircraft have more cargo space.
  • Comfort needs: Long flights benefit from stand-up cabins, lavatories, and lie-flat seats.
