The Airport Group of Mexico City (GACM) asked the aeronautical authorities to control and operate airports with a vocation of business and sun tourism and Playa de Lázaro Cárdenas, Tuxpan, Marías Islands, San Felipe, Guaymas and Puerto Libertad.

He added that today he is in the willingness to operate as airports for regional flights Lázaro Cárdenas, Michoacán, San Felipe, Baja California and Guaymas, Sonora, but there is still investments and convince the airlines.
“There are three airfields that are under the responsibility of the Secretariat of the Navy, which we see the possibility of working, as a regional airport and we are in the analysis of the cost benefit and see how to leave them in conditions to lend flights,” said the representative of the company operated by the Secretariat of the Navy.
The characteristic of the 6 regional airports are of importance to reactivate the economy, for example “Lázaro Cárdenas has a very large sea movement and does not have an airport and the one it has can be used as a regional airport for flights to Ixtapa Zihuatanejo, Colima and Guadalajara,” he said.
The plan is to move to business tourism linked to shipping companies, the customs and provider agents of the port of Lázaro Cárdenas, said the manager within the framework of the ACI Airport Day Mexico.
Today the track is in conditions and has been improved with the help of the Asipona de Lázaro Cárdenas, just as we are already in talks with Aerus to start regional flights, recalled Eric Mario Barrera Villalobos.
In San Felipe, Baja California, there is a plan to expand the track, as well as Tuxpan, Puerto Libertad and the María Islands are doing the procedures for the Navy to yield the airfields and thus operate as Regional Airport, he said.

The parastatal manager operated by SEMAR pointed out that the Aerodromes of Women Islands, Puerto Libertad and Tuxpan need to make a greater investment to receive commercial flights and have routine operations.
Today the airports of Lázaro Cárdenas and San Felipe with the infrastructure it has could already receive certain airlines, especially regional, but still some adjustments are required, said Eric Mario Barrera Villalobos.
“We have to motivate Aerocalafia, Air Servicios Guerrero, Mr. Air, and Tar to operate at the new Airport of the Semar,” he said.
Guaymas arrived an American airline, but when he came to review the air terminal there was no transport capacity, he said.
