A clear example is the Creel International Airport, located in the picturesque magical town, famous for being one of the stations of the iconic “El Chepe” train.
This facility is expected to open in December, offering a 2.5 km runway and direct routes to American metropolises such as Phoenix, Dallas, Houston and El Paso. The news, shared by Miguel Torruco, head of Tourism, was received with great expectations.
Following the list, we find the promising Chalacatepec International Airport, whose debut is scheduled for 2024. Located in Tomatlán, Jalisco, this airport promises to complement and expand the operations of the already well-known Puerto Vallarta.
It will have modern infrastructure, including a main terminal, runway, access roads and hangars. Vanessa Pérez Lamas, Tourism leader in Jalisco, emphasizes that this project will enhance connectivity in the Costalegre region.

On the horizon, the Ensenada International Airport, popularly referred to as Ojos Negros, also stands out. With the endorsement of the Ministry of Infrastructure, Communications and Transportation (SICT) from 2022, this structure will be located about 50 km south of Ensenada and, during its first seven years, it will operate mainly as an airfield.
The state of Yucatán is not far behind, visualizing an ambitious project to expand the facilities of the Mérida International Airport in Umán. The vision includes not only boosting air transportation, but also developing an industrial core that can benefit from the dynamism that the Mayan Train will bring.
In a recent press conference, Javier Aranda Pedrero, head of the Quintana Roo Tourism Promotion Council, highlighted the role that the Tulum Airport will play in the tourist revitalization of the southern region of the state. This infrastructure will not only encourage the arrival of more visitors, but will also catalyze the opening of new hotel complexes.
The Mexican aerial map is in full evolution, with Tulum and AIFA leading the change. These projects, backed by strategic visions and a commitment to development, promise to transform Mexico’s tourism and commercial landscape in the next decade.
