OMA, which operates 13 airports in Mexico, underlines the investment demonstrates its commitment to enhancing and modernising airport infrastructure in the region of Nuevo Leon. The programme has been designed with input from Vinci Airports to provide a seamless and enhanced experience and once complete will feature 70 check-in desks, self-service and bag-drop facilities, 10,000 sq.m. of commercial plaza at the heart of the building, more efficient security checks, integrated and automised baggage handling systems, additional seating areas and boarding gates and new and expanded baggage reclaim areas.
