en.Wedoany.com Reported - Javier García Bejos, General Director of Aeropuertos Mexicanos (AME), announced that the new terminal at Puerto Escondido International Airport, with an investment of 4.5 billion pesos, will be completed by the end of this year.

The construction of the terminal used 5,000 tons of steel and is designed as a two-story structure, with the upper floor offering a direct frontal view of aircraft. The building utilizes natural lighting and ventilation, resulting in lower energy consumption and reduced carbon emissions, while also conserving water resources through recycling. The project covers investments in the runway, airside areas, terminal, and all intermediate facilities.

García Bejos stated that the terminal design harmonizes with nature and has the "flavor of Puerto Escondido." The airport has handled over 1 million passengers in the past 12 months, compared to just 350,000 passengers per year when it was taken over. The old terminal will be converted into a car rental center, including a supermarket, banking area, and an FBO terminal.

More flights will be added in the future, including a route from Vancouver, Canada, operated by Air Canada starting in December. The airport is expected to handle between 3 million and 4 million passengers in the coming years. The project is a public-private partnership investment, funded by private capital and built in collaboration with the federal government.

On Tuesday, Volaris flight 7282 arrived at the airport from Tijuana, Baja California, opening a new connection with the region and American tourists from California. The aircraft received a traditional water salute upon arrival, accompanied by Oaxacan dance and music.
