Manny Aviation Services
Mexico-wide business-aviation trip-support/ground-handling coordinator; FlightAware's MMMZ services listing names Manny Aviation Services as an MZT provider, but Mazatlan is not among the 8 physical office/base locations (Toluca, Queretaro, Tapachula, Felipe Carrillo Puerto, Merida, Cozumel, Cancun, Guadalajara) shown on Manny's own site, suggesting remote coordination rather than local staff.

Canon Air
Mexican FBO/fuel reseller whose own site lists service areas as Mexico, Caribbean, LATAM and Central America without naming specific bases; FlightAware's crowd-sourced airport database lists Canon Air at MMMZ selling Jet A and 100LL using the same phone number as Canon Air's official site, but Mazatlan is not named anywhere on Canon Air's own website, so this MZT-specific listing remains uncorroborated by an official Canon Air or OMA source.
