President Calderon to Inaugurate airport Thursday |
| The much-anticipated inauguration is the hottest ticket in town |
After much delay and some confusion, the Mar de Cortes International Airport will be inaugurated on Thursday morning by President Felipe Calderon Hinojosa. He will be accompanied by the Secretaries of Tourism and Transportation, Governor Guillermo Padres, and other Federal, State and Municipal representatives of various departments.
In September, then outgoing Governor Eduardo Bours made a final trip to the airport that many thought would be an official inauguration. That was not to be, and the ceremony in fact was deemed a final revision of the project.
That event can now be seen as a dress rehearsal for the actual inauguration, which will be followed by a luncheon at the Mayan Palace. Grupo Vidanta and the Mayan Palace have been working hard on the many details that go into an event of this magnitude.
It is rumored that arrangements have already been made for commercial flights, although no concrete details have been released yet.
