Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, Mexico – Grupo Aeroportuario del Pacífico (GAP) has announced a substantial investment of 3.6 billion pesos for Gustavo Díaz Ordaz Airport in Puerto Vallarta over the next five years. This investment is part of GAP’s ambitious five-year development plan, which allocates more than 52 billion pesos to enhance infrastructure across its 12 airports in Mexico from 2025 to 2029.
GAP, which operates major airports in Guadalajara and Tijuana as well as key tourist destinations such as Puerto Vallarta, Los Cabos, La Paz, and Manzanillo, is dedicating 82% of its investment to four airports: Guadalajara, Tijuana, San José del Cabo, and Puerto Vallarta. The Guadalajara International Airport will receive the largest share of 22.4 billion pesos, enabling significant expansion and upgrades.
Specifically, the Puerto Vallarta airport investment will be rolled out incrementally with 5.18 billion pesos earmarked for 2025, followed by 515 million in 2026, 393 million in 2027, 1.012 billion in 2028, and 1.168 billion in 2029. These funds aim to increase the airport’s capacity and enhance service for both passengers and airlines, aligning with GAP’s broader goals of supporting regional economic growth and positioning Mexico as a strategic global air hub.
In addition to improvements at Puerto Vallarta, GAP is making significant upgrades at other key airports. The Guadalajara International Airport is set to receive a new 69,000 square-meter terminal, which will boost passenger capacity by 70%, increasing from 19 million passengers this year to 39 million annually upon completion. This project also includes a new runway and a mixed-use area featuring shops, restaurants, and a hotel. Meanwhile, Tijuana International Airport will see a 9.8 billion peso investment for terminal expansion, and Los Cabos International Airport will receive 6.9 billion pesos for similar enhancements.
GAP CEO Raúl Revuelta Musalén emphasized the strategic nature of these investments, highlighting the company’s commitment to enhancing passenger service and supporting Mexico’s economic development. “These investments are carefully calculated to add capacity to all GAP airports in support of the future growth of the regions in which they are located,” said Revuelta Musalén. “Our primary objective is passenger service, but we are eager to contribute to Mexico’s economic development, particularly by attracting airlines that want to invest in Mexico.”
Through these strategic investments, GAP is poised to significantly enhance the infrastructure of its airports, boosting capacity, improving services, and contributing to the prosperity of the regions they serve.
