Construction Works Start at Cancun Terminal

Grupo Aeroportuario del Sureste (ASUR) is beginning the construction of Terminal 3 and has made the necessary studies for the building of the second runway at Cancun International Airport. These two projects represent a total investment of over $150 million.

The foundation stone for Terminal 3 was laid during a ceremony attended by Felix Gonzalez Canto, Governor of the Quintana Roo state, Mexican transport ministers Pedro Cerisola, and tourism minister Rodolfo Elizondo Torres.

ASUR believes that Terminal 3 will be Mexico´s most modern, efficient, and technologically-advanced airport terminal, and the company estimates that it will require an investment of approximately $100 million.

Features of the new terminal will include an advanced security system that screens all hold and cabin baggage, and which complies with new international aviation security regulations

The new building will also boast state-of-the-art passenger information and systems that ASUR believes will afford the highest levels of security.

ASUR has received the necessary land for the second runway in Cancun in concession from the Mexican Federal Government, and will start the studies for the second runway.
