Tijuana's Airport Transforms Itself

The Tijuana International Airport, as well as the Guadalajara airport, is one that will receive more resources because it is one of the airports with highest passenger traffic.

The Master Development Plan for the next fifteen years of the Pacific Airport Group, SAB de CB (GAP), which will take place between 2015 and 2019, contemplates an investment of more than $5 million pesos (about $312,000 dollars) in the twelve airports managed by the GAP.
