New Airport Receives Bidders

Yesterday, 26th of April 2011, The Ministry of Communications and Transport (SCT) began receiving technical proposals for the tender of the new Riviera Maya airport, to be built 65km from the Cozumel airport and 102km from the Cancun airport.

The two groups to present their offers are the Tradeco Construction Company and the duo formed by Grupo Mexico and Grupo Aeroportuario del Pacífico (GAP). Grupo Aeroportuario del Sureste (Asur) will not participate as they have previously been disqualified by the Federal Competition Commission (Cofeco).

When built, the new airport will be located at a distance of 15.8 miles from the coast in a straight line to Punta Chains, in the main town of Tulum, near the archaeological site of Coba with an estimated construction cost of around 300 million dollars.
