The announcement of a new terminal will cost at least $300 million and is part of an investment plan for the period 2019-2023, which also includes upgrades to the Cozumel airport. Both facilities have seen constant growth in passenger traffic numbers.
Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto originally mentioned the idea of adding a fifth terminal when the Cancun airport celebrated the opening of Terminal 4. The new construction would help the airport handle an additional nine million passengers per year.
Construction on the new terminal at Cancun International Airport is set to begin later this year or early in 2019, with the Maya Train project also including facility.
