Morelia Prepares For A New Era in Aviation to Boost Tourism

The Michoacán Ministry of Tourism (Sectur), led by Roberto Monroy García, announced an ambitious plan to modernize Morelia International Airport that promises to transform the experience of domestic and international tourists arriving in the state. All of this will be made possible by an investment of more than one billion pesos from the Grupo Aeroportuario del Pacífico (GAP) for the 2025–2029 period.

What will be the main improvements?

• 23% expansion of the terminal building to provide more operational space.
• Expanding the last waiting area and adding new boarding gates. 
• Expanding the baggage claim area. 
• Implementing self-service immigration kiosks, which will streamline procedures for international travelers. 
• Improvements to the overall airport experience for the more than 1,305,000 passengers who pass through this terminal annually.
• Improved operational and service capacity, which will facilitate the arrival of more tourists.
• Attracting new domestic and international flight routes, which will expand Michoacán’s accessibility.

According to Roberto Monroy, “This is unprecedented growth. We have consolidated it over the past four years of the governor’s administration, through joint efforts with the airlines. Now we’re aiming for more, seeking greater commitment and taking advantage of this significant investment in the airport.”
