What changed with SENEAM

Starting January 1, 2025, Servicios a la Navegación en el Espacio Aéreo Mexicano (SENEAM) is requiring additional documentation for overflight authorizations. The changes align Mexican procedures more closely with ICAO Annex 2 updates and reduce the acceptance of last-minute diplomatic clearance filings.

Key updates

  1. Pre-filing window extended from 24 to 72 hours for non-scheduled flights.
  2. Cargo manifest disclosure required for cargo and mixed-use operations.
  3. Insurance minimums updated to reflect the 2024 liability coverage revisions.

Operator checklist

  • Submit overflight filings a minimum of 3 business days in advance where feasible.
  • Keep insurance certificates updated and loaded in our ops portal.
  • Coordinate with our SENEAM desk for any same-day exceptions.

Our regulatory team has already updated our templates. Operators on our permits plan don’t need to take any action — changes are handled upstream.
