The State Government of Guerrero and the Centro Norte Airport Group (OMA) have formalized a collaboration agreement that will allocate an investment exceeding $50 million US dollars for the modernization and improvement of the airports in Acapulco (ACA) and Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo (ZIH).

The resources will focus on the expansion and modernization of infrastructure, investments in operational safety, the acquisition of specialized equipment, and the overall enhancement of passenger service areas.
