Tepic Airport naming controversy

Overview

Public controversy arose regarding the naming of the Tepic International Airport during renovation works. Following concerns that the facility was being renamed ‘Riviera Nayarit’, José Miguel Bejos, president of Mota-Engil México, clarified that the omission of the poet Amado Nervo’s name was an error caused by the “haste of the remodeling process” rather than an intentional change.

To resolve protests from intellectuals, the company apologized and announced that the new terminal will prominently feature the name Amado Nervo on its facades. The ‘Riviera Nayarit’ brand will be used alongside the poet’s name as part of an international promotion strategy to attract foreign airlines.
