Menzies Aviation
An independent handler directory lists "La Paz General Manuel Márquez de León Airport" among roughly 20 named Mexico stations operated by Menzies, and active job postings for "Agente de Rampa" (ramp agent) in La Paz, B.C.S. confirm ongoing ramp handling operations there. Caution: Menzies' own network-page URL for "la-paz-lap" is mislabeled and actually displays content for El Alto International Airport in La Paz, BOLIVIA (IATA LPB), not La Paz, Mexico (LAP/MMLP) — that specific page was excluded as evidence after this mismatch was found.

Aéreo Calafia, S.A. de C.V.
Component/accessory shop -- AFAC-registered Taller Aeronautico (Permiso No. 353, Privado y Publico, vigencia INDEFINIDO) confirmed verbatim in AFAC's national talleres-aeronauticos registry, checked against the 19-MAY-2026 edition: listed phone ••• and email ••• match this contact exactly. Based at Hangar 5, Zona de Hangares, Aeropuerto Internacional de La Paz, Carretera Transpeninsular Km. 13; in-house AMO for Aereo Calafia's own fleet (sub base Cabo San Lucas), also holds Publico modality for third-party work. Specific class rating (airframe/powerplant/accessory breakdown) not published in the registry -- unconfirmed. Caveat: Aereo Calafia is the founding legal name of Calafia Airlines, whose separate air-transport operating permit AFAC suspended on 27-Jan-2025 for regulatory irregularities, with no confirmed resumption through 2026, and the company's own web domains (aereocalafia.com,.com.mx,.mx) now resolve to a parked placeholder page, not an active site. The workshop permit itself, however, remains listed active/INDEFINIDO in AFAC's own registry as of May-2026 (after the flight-ops suspension), so this is registry-confirmed but the shop's day-to-day staffing/reachability could not be independently verified -- recommend calling ahead before relying on it.

Centro de Servicios Aéreos del Pacífico, S.A. de C.V.
Component/accessory shop -- AFAC-registered Taller Aeronautico (Permiso No. 415, Publico, vigencia INDEFINIDO) confirmed verbatim in AFAC's national talleres-aeronauticos registry, checked against the 19-MAY-2026 edition: listed phone ••• and email ••• match this contact exactly. Based at Calle A No. 138, entre calle 1 y 2, Fraccionamiento Club El Carrizal, La Paz, B.C.S., C.P. 23050 -- same metro area as LAP airport, a few km from the field. Independent workshop open to third-party operators (not tied to a single fleet). Specific class rating (airframe/powerplant/accessory breakdown) not published in the registry -- unconfirmed. Note: the earlier claim that mexicopymes.com misclassifies this company under a generic machinery-repair SCIAN code could not be (the cited listing page no longer resolves) -- dropped from the detail rather than repeated as fact; it does not affect the AFAC confirmation above.

Cargo handling Unconfirmed
Aeroméxico Cargo
Business directories list Aeroméxico Cargo office locations in La Paz, Baja California Sur (Aeroméxico serves LAP with Aeroméxico Connect flights). These listed offices appear to be city-based cargo counters rather than confirmed airside/ramp cargo operations at LAP itself, and whether Aeroméxico self-handles ramp/cargo at LAP versus using a contracted handler (e.g., Menzies, which holds ground-handling deals with Aeroméxico at other stations) is not independently confirmed.
