Travel coordinators routing Aeroméxico, Volaris, AeroMéxico Connect domestic + USMCA cross-border via Tijuana-LA 12-minute land border for crew, cast, and equipment same-day flow
Here is how this works in practice. Mexican travel coordinators run the deepest LatAm domestic-global booking pipeline. Domestic flag carrier Aeroméxico hubs CDMX Benito Juárez Global (MEX), Mexico City Felipe Ángeles (NLU), Guadalajara, Monterrey, Cancún, Mérida, and the broader 30+ Mexican commercial-aviation airport network. Volaris and AeroMéxico Connect (Mexico's largest LCC capacity) anchor crew-tier bulk-seat shuttles. Cross-border air-and-land routes USMCA framework via the 12-minute Tijuana-LA border (the standard same-day top-tier US-Mexican production pipeline), Mexicali-Calexico, Nogales (Sonora-Arizona), Reynosa-McAllen, and Nuevo Laredo-Laredo.
On the ground, Helicopter and aerial: Aerodynamics, Sky Helicopters, Helicópteros Servicios Especiales, Aeroservicios (the bench that delivered the Spectre 007 Zócalo helicopter aerials). We've set up cast-and-crew movement for Cuarón, del Toro, Iñárritu, Spectre 007 (2015), Apocalypto Yucatán (Mel Gibson 2006), Sicario / Sicario 2 CDMX-Sonora, Narcos: Mexico Netflix multi-season CDMX-Guadalajara-Tijuana, and Master and Commander / Titanic at Fox Baja Studios Rosarito.
Here is the short of it. Coordination scope: INM work permits for foreign cast and crew (mandatory federal immigration framework), ATA Carnet via SAT/Aduanas for gear transit (the global temporary-import customs document — Mexico is a full ATA Carnet signing), USMCA framework with IATSE/DGA/SAG-AFTRA/WGA reciprocal-plan coordination, ANDA actors guild signing contract travel, IMSS workers' comp registration (mandatory federal — applies to per-diem and travel days), 16% IVA, ISR income tax bracket-based, peso settlement (MXN ~17-18:1 USD — highly cost-good vs USD/EUR), and the Monday-Friday + Saturday-optional working-week standard.
On the ground, Hurricane-season June-November Pacific/Caribbean coastal-evacuation rerouting, CDMX 2,240m altitude acclimatization scheduling for unacclimatized US/EU talent, and Día de Muertos UNESCO Intangible 2008 late-October–November 2 cultural-shoot-window peak-season hotel pricing all fall under travel-coordinator oversight.

What skills should a travel coordinator have for Mexican productions?
A travel coordinator for Mexico needs excellent organisational skills, knowledge of Mexican travel infrastructure and accommodation options, and the ability to manage complex logistics for large groups.
