Following the signing of the merger agreements between GACM, SACM and AICM, the Marina Airport Group was created, a state-owned company that incorporates the three entities, with the aim of improving the country’s airport efficiency.
This was announced by the Navy during the presentation of the Merger Agreements signed between the Mexico City Airport Group (GACM) and Mexico City Airport Services (SACM), with the Mexico City International Airport (AICM).
The above was carried out in a legal act that responds to the Mexican government’s plan to eliminate redundancies in the corporate structure of these airport entities, which will allow for the optimization of operations and resources to improve the company’s profitability, security at airports and air connectivity in the country for the benefit of users.
Likewise, in accordance with the provisions of the general rules for the disincorporation by merger of companies with majority state participation, there was a favorable resolution from the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit on the merger project presented by the Ministry of the Navy.
In this sense, GACM and SACM are the merged entities, while AICM, as the merging entity, maintains its legal and corporate existence as a majority state-owned company controlled by the Mexican federal government, which will continue to honor the commitments made by the three entities.
In this context, with the merger, AICM will act as it has until now, as the concessionaire and operator of the Benito Juárez International Airport in Mexico City, and from now on as the holder of the assignments of the airports of Ciudad del Carmen, Ciudad Obregón, Colima, Guaymas, Loreto and Matamoros; it will also exercise its shareholding in the Toluca International Airport. This gives way to the emergence of the Marina Airport Group, initially called Casiopea.
Under the commercial name of Grupo Aeroportuario Marina, the entity will incorporate other aerodromes in the national territory and will have its central offices in the federally owned building that was once occupied by the Interjet company; this new group will be headed by Admiral Juan José Padilla, appointed for this purpose by the Secretary of the Navy, Admiral José Rafael Ojeda.
