GAP will allocate more than US$52 million to modernize Morelia Airport

The Pacific Airport Group (GAP) will invest more than US$52 million in Morelia International Airport.

Roberto Monroy García, head of the Michoacán Ministry of Tourism (Sectur), made the announcement as part of GAP's 2025-2029 Master Development Plan.

According to the head of Sectur, this project will strengthen Michoacán's airport infrastructure, facilitating and improving the arrival of domestic and international tourists to the destination.

For his part, Francisco Javier Aramburo, director of Morelia International Airport, explained that the terminal's growth will include a 23% expansion of the current terminal building, the expansion of the departure lounge, new boarding gates, expansion of the baggage claim area, and the implementation of an autonomous immigration filter system, among other improvements.

These improvements will enhance the experience of the more than 1.305 million passengers who pass through this airport each year, the executive said.

Monroy García commented that the promotion to visit the state has been carried out jointly with the tourism sector.

“Hoteliers, tour operators, travel agents, and restaurateurs have worked as a delegation and have traveled to destinations to promote Michoacán, as we recently did in Texas. The fundamental objective is the alliance for the state,” he added.

He recalled that since the administration of Governor Alfredo Ramírez Bedolla, there has been a firm commitment to strengthen air connections, as evidenced by the opening of new routes connecting Michoacán with the world.

“This growth is unprecedented. We have consolidated it during the governor's four years in office, thanks to joint efforts with the airlines. Now we are going for more, seeking a greater commitment and taking advantage of this important investment in the airport,” said the head of the Ministry of Tourism.
