The Hermanos Serdán International Airport in Huejotzingo, Puebla, is set to undergo a major modernization and expansion project. This initiative, a collaboration between the Government of Puebla, the Government of Mexico, and Grupo Maya, involves an investment exceeding 1,000 million pesos. The project aims to double the airport’s annual passenger capacity from 1.4 million to 2.8 million. Planned infrastructure improvements include a new terminal—specifically a 14,623-square-meter facility—six boarding gates, expanded parking, and enhanced security and migration facilities. Construction is expected to begin in December 2026 with an estimated 18-month timeline. In addition to physical expansion, the airport is increasing its connectivity, growing from eight to 17 destinations. New routes include a direct flight to Chicago and connections to Acapulco and Puerto Escondido expected in December, alongside planned routes to Los Angeles and Houston. These developments are part of a broader strategy to strengthen Puebla’s tourism sector in preparation for hosting Tianguis Turístico 2027. Governor Alejandro Armenta Mier has reinforced this strategy by linking airport modernization with broader economic development. To complement the increased tourism, the Secretariat of Economic Development and Labor (SEDETRA) is working to integrate local producers—including artisans and food and beverage makers—into formal distribution chains under the ‘Puebla Cinco de Mayo’ brand. This integrated approach aims to bolster local commerce within the historic center’s commercial corridors alongside the airport’s expansion.
