The expansion of flight offerings at San Luis Potosí Airport, a key asset within OMA's network, is a clear example of how improved infrastructure and air connectivity directly contribute to local prosperity. This initiative aligns to foster positive mobility and regional development.
"Our state has great potential to become one of the most visited tourist spots in central Mexico, thanks to our incredible cultural and natural richness.
