1 Guadalajara<\/b><\/p>\n
The Guadalajara International Airport is the third most important in the country and is located in the state of Jalisco. Guadalajara is an important commercial, industrial and tourist centre. In line with the Master Plan, the main actions to be carried out in the coming years will be the construction of a second runway and a new terminal with its associated commercial apron. An increase in the capacity of the general aviation apron and the parking and access facilities is also proposed.<\/p>\n

2 Tijuana\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n
General Abelardo L. Rodr\u00edguez International Airport is located in Baja California, adjacent to the US border. Passengers departing from San Diego (USA) use the Cross Border Xpress (CBX), which allows them to cross the border without leaving the airport. The Tijuana Plan is currently underway, which includes the construction of a new processing building and the joining of the Alfa and Eco taxiways. The Master Plan aims, within the first five years, to reconfigure and expand the aircraft stands, as well as the security control area in the terminal building, and to reserve an area for cargo, in particular for CBX-Cargo. For the second five-year period, the construction of Dock C and a new control tower.<\/p>\n

3 Los Cabos\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n
The airport serves the Los Cabos area \u2013comprised of the municipalities of San Jose del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas\u2013 currently one of the most important tourist destinations in the country. 70% of the traffic is international. Among the key actions, the Master Plan proposes, in the short term, to expand the commercial and general aprons, as well as the terminal buildings. For the second five-year period, land is being reserved in the medium term for the construction of a future second runway.<\/p>\n

5 Guanajuato<\/b><\/p>\n
Located in the municipality of Silao (Guanajuato). With 2.7 million passengers in 2019, Guanajuato is the fifth largest city within GAP. In the last five years, average growth has been spectacular, at 15.5%, above the average of 12.1% for GAP. Commercial traffic is mostly domestic. The proposed development includes an expansion in several phases of different areas of the terminal building (departures, arrivals, baggage claim, new boarding gates), as well as the parking aprons (commercial and general aviation).<\/p>\n

6 Hermosillo\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n
The airport is located in the municipality of Hermosillo, in the state of Sonora. It serves as an alternate airport to Tijuana. The main development proposals include the enlargement and reconfiguration, over several phases, of the stands on the general aviation apron and, in the short term, of the passenger and baggage claim areas. Also, the control tower is to be renovated, although it does not need to be relocated.<\/p>\n

11 Los Mochis<\/b><\/p>\n
The Valle del Fuerte International Airport, or Los Mochis, is located in the state of Sinaloa. Its traffic is almost 100% domestic. The proximity of the airports of Hermosillo and Culiac\u00e1n \u2013both state capitals\u2013 results in competition that affects primarily the development of international traffic. As for the Master Plan, it proposes the remodeling and expansion of the south-west and south-east facades of the existing terminal building, the expansion of the general aviation apron and the reconfiguration of the current seating arrangements.<\/p>\n

12 Manzanillo\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n
Also known as Playa de Oro, it is located in the west of the state of Colima. The distribution of commercial passengers is very balanced: 55% of the traffic is domestic and 45% international. No need to increase the capacity of the runway and the commercial aviation apron over the entire time frame of the study was identified. For the terminal building, the expansion and remodeling of the medical clinics, security controls, waiting room and baggage claim area are proposed.<\/p>\n

GAP, Mexico\u2019s leading operator<\/span><\/h4>\n\t\t\t
GAP was created in 1998 when the Mexican government privatised the administration of 35 of the 58 airports in the national network. The Group was awarded a 50-year concession for 12 of them. That same year, Aena Internacional was established, which has a 33.33% stake in GAP via the company Aeropuertos Mexicanos del Pac\u00edfico (AMP), one of GAP\u2019s strategic partners. At present, the 12 Mexican airports have been joined by two more in Jamaica: the Sangster in Montego Bay, since 2015, and the Norman Manley in Kingston, since 2019. GAP has been listed on the Mexican and New York stock exchanges since 2006 and is one of the largest private airport groups in the Americas and the largest in Mexico, with a market share of 26.3% of total traffic. In total, in 2019 it processed 48.7 million passengers, 8.4% more than the previous year.<\/div><\/div>\nGAP passenger growth 2019 vs 2018<\/span><\/h4>\n\t\t\t

WHAT IS A MASTER PLAN?<\/span><\/h4>\n\t\t\t
<\/p>\nA Master Plan is the document that constitutes the main planning tool for the development of an airport and governs its development over different time frames. It takes into account its geographical and socio-economic environment, based on the current situation. Since traffic and expected demand are constantly evolving due to multiple factors, they need to be updated regularly. Master Plans involve two distinct planning figures:<\/p>\n
\n
- \u2018Proposed development\u2019, which includes the necessary works to adapt airport capacity to foreseeable demand in the short, medium and long term. Works are planned so that they are ready when needed, and are distributed over three five-year periods between 2020 and 2034 (five-year periods).<\/li>\n
- From the final year, 2034, the \u2018maximum possible development\u2019, considers a longer time frame, with the aim of defining a \u2018reserve area\u2019 for the future development of the airport.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Within the \u2018proposed development\u2019, all plans include an aeronautical easement study, a section on environmental measures, the noise footprint of each airport, a preventive maintenance plan for the facilities, an accessibility study in accordance with Mexican legislation, and a proposal for tariffs calculated on the traffic units.<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
