Perfect timing of Cabo’s new
airport as FITURCA focuses on New York market....
As air passengers steadily
increase, it makes sense that Cabo gets a new airport.
It also makes sense that it’s
in Cabo San Lucas this time. Because this is not just a new international airport.
It’s a second international airport.
Intended to complement the existing services offered in San Jose del Cabo Aiport. The new terminal will increase Cabo’s air
capacity by up to a million passengers in the short term.
The timing and location of the new
airport goes hand in hand with the construction, already underway, of 12000 new
rooms on the Pacific side of Cabo. Clearly an airport is part of the necessary
infrastructure required to support this development.
Director of Los Cabos Tourism Board, (FITURCA) Rodrigo Esponda, confirms one of the key target markets is New York - “We are working hard with our
partners in New York to attract more visitors. Right now, we are focusing on
two main demographics. The first is 30-40-year old professionals, who have the
means to come and enjoy the whole luxury experience offered by high-end resorts
in Cabo. The second group are families, who can come and enjoy the wide range
of fun activities, nature and water sports.”
In time, the new airport will
be able to handle up to 10 million passengers. But this will happen in phases
and may take up to 5 years. Current expectations are that the new terminal will
be able to handle up to a million new passengers in phase one.
