Puerto Vallarta Airport Will See 5-Billion Peso Investment Over the Next Five Years

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico – The Pacific Airport Group (GAP) has announced that its 2025-2029 five-year investment plan will include approximately five billion pesos for the Puerto Vallarta International Airport, according to recent statements by the company’s General Director, Raúl Revuelta Musalem. The updated figure comes after initial reports in late August indicated that Puerto Vallarta would receive just over 3.6 billion pesos, highlighting a significant increase in planned infrastructure spending for the region.

Revuelta Musalem first revealed in August that GAP’s total investment for its 12 airports across Mexico would reach 52 billion pesos over the next five years. During that initial announcement, he detailed the breakdown of funds among the four main airports—Guadalajara, Tijuana, San José del Cabo, and Puerto Vallarta—which together will absorb 82% of the total investment. At that time, Guadalajara was slated to receive 22.4 billion pesos, followed by Tijuana with 9.8 billion, San José del Cabo with 6.8 billion, and Puerto Vallarta with 3.6 billion.

However, in more recent statements, Revuelta Musalem indicated that Puerto Vallarta’s allocation will rise to five billion pesos, representing a considerable increase from the originally stated figure. He did not provide further details explaining the difference, nor did he specify the specific projects or airport areas slated for improvement under this expanded budget.

The GAP executive noted that formal announcements concerning the new investment program for all airports are expected in January. During these announcements, more information will be given regarding the scope and scale of works planned for each terminal. Revuelta Musalem stressed the unprecedented nature of the upcoming investments, stating that the 2025-2029 plan is set to be the largest in the company’s history.

He also recalled the extensive work and capital infusion in recent years. Over the last five-year period, more than 16 billion pesos have been invested in the Guadalajara airport alone—reportedly the largest single-terminal investment in GAP’s history. Meanwhile, Puerto Vallarta’s International Airport received nearly eight billion pesos during the same timeframe, contributing to various remodeling and modernization initiatives.

The forthcoming five-year plan is expected to continue this trajectory of significant infrastructure development. As details emerge, observers anticipate substantial upgrades in passenger facilities, runways, and other critical areas designed to enhance travel experiences and strengthen the airports’ roles as key transportation and tourism gateways.
