Information

As part of the National Infrastructure Plan presented by Felipe Calderón, an international airport would be built in Ensenada. Construction was expected to begin on the first quarter of 2008 and initial investment was estimated at around $230 million. The airstrip would be able to receive large aircraft including the Airbus A380 and the Boeing 747. International flights to Hong Kong, Singapore, Shanghai, Tokyo, Frankfurt and Bogotá are planned.[1]

In June 2016, Baja California State Congress passed a bill to decree the construction of the Ensenada Airport, which will be located in the Municipality of Ojos Negros, East of the city.[2]
