Tulum, Mexico — The future Tulum International Airport was visited by President Andrés Manuel López Obrador on a tour of the construction site. The President visited the building sites with Governor Mara Lezama Espinosa after his arrival in Chetumal on Saturday.

The two had a tour of the Felipe Carrillo Puerto Tulum International Airport construction site. Both parties said that the airport would be completed in December of this year.

The Tulum Airport, Felipe Carrillo Puerto, a new wonder of civil-military engineering and the efforts of amazing Mexican employees, is being created there. We are conducting the examination of section 5 of the Maya Train for the first time there.

“In December it will be possible to fly to anywhere in Mexico and the world,” López Obrador.

According to a report by Lezama, “on Saturday, section 5 of the Maya Train was evaluated, while progress of section 6 was supervised right where the new Tulum International Airport is being built, which will allow the expansion of the connection in Quintana Roo, which receives more than 30 million passengers a year.”

The new international airport, “which is expected to be ready in December of this year,” stated Governor Lezama, was being built thanks to the civil-military engineering work being done by the Secretary of National Defense.
