Grupo Aeroportuario del Pacífico (GAP) will invest more than 52 billion pesos in the expansion and modernization of its airports in Mexico , as part of its Master Development Plan (PMD), with the Guadalajara airport receiving the majority of the capital.

Laura Díez Barroso, president of the Board of Directors of the concessionaire of 12 airports in the country, explained that these resources will allow the expansion of the surface area of ​​its terminals by more than 50% , improve roads, runways and platforms, as well as guarantee more agile and safe operations, and in technology.

Raúl Revuelta Musalem, general director of GAP, said that the new terminal 2 of the Guadalajara airport will be built on a reserve of more than 280 hectares, which will allow for long-term growth. It will have an investment of more than 22 billion pesos, as well as other works such as roads that allow additional access to it.

“The first major investment we are going to make is the purchase of land, which is worth four million pesos. We are about to finish it. It was a purchase from a thousand ejidatarios. It will take us two years to build Terminal 2,” he said.

Regarding the 2026 World Cup, since the Akron Stadium will be one of the venues, he said that they signed an agreement of understanding and support with FIFA more than five years ago, so “we will have Terminal 1 ready and completely renovated and part of the new roads completed and all the parking lot. We are confident that logistics and joint work will support the destination.”

Among the actions to be carried out, work will also be carried out at the Tijuana airport, where a 47% expansion of the terminal building is planned and a new boarding area with seven additional platform positions will be built.

For the Los Cabos airport, GAP specified that Terminal 2 will be expanded by 32%, and the road system for access to the airport will be organized and expanded.

Regarding the outlook for passenger traffic this year, he said that the capacity of Mexican airlines is recovering , although it will not be until the summer of 2026 when “the entire supply of aircraft will be intact,” although slight growth is expected for 2025.

He recalled that the impact they had at the end of last year was due to the impact of the Pratt & Whitney engines on Volaris and Viva Aerobus , which resulted in a decrease in the number of seats in the country.
