Puerto Vallarta Airport Will More Than Double in Size
On December 1, Cryshtian José Amador Lizardi, the director of the Puerto Vallarta International Airport, announced that Grupo Aeroportuario del Pacífico (GAP) intends to continue to invest in the works defined in its master development plan to optimize operations, which includes a new terminal building, towers, runways, roads, and parking lots.
The investments committed in the 2020-2024 master development plan (PMD) exceed 3 billion 26 million pesos and most of this amount will be invested over the next few years. In addition, during the five-year period from 2025-2029, at least another 1 billion 313 million pesos, 800 million of which will be invested in state-of-the-art equipment such as specialized vehicles for the Rescue and Firefighting Service (SSEI), security equipment, and the renovation of aircraft for passenger transportation.
The airport terminal director said that the purpose of these investments is to modernize the airport and provide greater comfort to passengers.
“We are focusing our investment on passengers’ comfort and travel experience. Therefore, we have remodeled passenger inspection points and sanitary modules. The investment that will change the Airport is the construction of Terminal 2, as it more than doubles the surface area and passenger screening lines, as well as 50% more telescopic aisles and checked baggage screening systems, all of which give passengers more space and makes their trip more enjoyable,” the Airport Director said.
Of the total number of passengers that used at Puerto Vallarta Airport this year, 30% were domestic and 70% were international. From January to October, there were 3.1 million passengers, which represents a 76% recovery compared to the 4 million passengers the airport welcomed in 2019, before the pandemic.
In 2021, there will be 5.8 million seats available on flights to Puerto Vallarta. This is similar to the 5.85 million seats available in 2019.
The airport connects to 40 destinations, 11 domestic airports, and 29 international airports. The busiest destinations are Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles, Mexico City, Tijuana, Denver, Monterrey, Panama, and Calgary. Flights to Puerto Vallarta are offered through 20 airlines, 7 domestic and 13 international carriers. The major airlines that carry 90% of passengers are American, Volaris, Viva, United, Alaska, Aeromexico, Delta, and Southwest.
Routes recovered in Mexico include Toluca, Puebla and Los Cabos. From the U.S. are Oakland, Reno, Tahoe, and Sacramento. From Canada: Kelowna, Ottawa, Saskatoon, Quebec, and Regina.
Please note that all GAP airports are SafeTravels certified by the World Travel and Tourism Council when it comes to biosecurity measures and protocols that give passengers confidence. GAP is the first in the world to be certified and re-certified by the Airports Council International (AHA), an agency located in 183 countries with approximately 2,000 member airports. https://banderasnews.com/ Source: Vallarta Today
