NEW MEXICO CITY AIRPORT PROJECT CANCELLED
A public vote has halted construction
work on the New Mexico Airport.
Construction of a new airport for
Mexico City has stopped after a public
vote to decide its fate. About a third
of the $13.3 billion project is already
complete but, during his election
campaign, the now Mexican President-
elect, Andrés Manuel López Obrador,
had said his government would scrap
the new airport in favour of a less
ambitious and cheaper project.
Mr López Obrador launched a four-day
public consultation prior to the vote to
determine the will of the people. The
resulting statistics showed that just
1.2% of registered people voted, with
some 70% choosing to reject the new
airport in favour of Mr López Obrador’s
plan to keep the existing airport (IATA:
MEX) and add a passenger terminal
and two runways to the Santa Lucía
military base north of the city. The
estimated cost of cancelling the
project is about $5 billion but Mr López
Obrador said his government will
guarantee contracts and investments
as well as addressing any claims from
companies and investors. He reiterated
the possibility that current contractors
could shift work from the new airport
site to that of his alternative plan.
BIRMINGHAM AIRPORT LAUNCHES DRAFT MASTER PLAN
Birmingham Airport (BHX) has
launched its draft Master Plan, called
The Midlands Gateway to the World.
Described as “ambitious yet sustainable”,
it is focussed upon “addressing the
key constraints to more rapid growth”,
according to the airport. The draft plan
is based upon using the existing single
runway but calls for a self- nanced
major expansion of the terminal
facilities and additional aircraft parking
stands. It also highlights the desire
to work with national agencies and
regional partners to deliver improved
surface access for passengers.
The launch of the draft triggers a
12-week public consultation for
stakeholder feedback on the airport’s
accelerator, delivering great service to
passengers and helping to showcase
the region.
“Over the next 15 years, we will
expand and signi cantly improve the
airport to maximise our potential as
a single runway airport by investing
£500 million. Our plans take account
of our forecast growth and will
increase operational e ciency for our
airlines and partners and improve the
experience for our passengers.”
Full details of the plan and how to
feedback can be found at:

The airport said the nal version of
the Master Plan will be published in
early 2019.
plans. Public exhibitions are taking place
throughout the West Midlands until
January 22 next year and consultation
will end on January 31 at 23:59.
The airport’s acting managing director,
Simon Richards, said: “Birmingham
Airport is already the preferred
national and international aviation
hub for the Midlands and our
ambition is to build on this to become
one of Europe’s leading regional
airports, acting as a key economic
HEATHROW PREPARES FOR WORLD’S LARGEST BIOMETRICS ROLL OUT
Heathrow Airport has announced
it is launching its rst end-to-end
biometrics trial which will bring
facial recognition to each point of a
departing passenger’s journey. 
The airport said the £50 million
project will add to its existing facial
recognition technology and speed
up the check-in, bag-drop and
boarding processes. 
The process will begin next summer
and, when complete, will provide
Heathrow with have the world’s
largest deployment of biometrically
enabled products.
IATA research shows that 64% of
passengers would choose to share
their biometric data in exchange for a
better experience when travelling.
Heathrow’s statement said: “Facial
biometrics are more accurate
than manual checks and o er
increased security, demonstrating
how technology helps us without
impacting on passenger experience.”
Heathrow’s customer relations and
service director, Jonathan Coen,
commented:
“As our passenger numbers continue
to grow, we must look for innovative
ways to make it easier and quicker for
them to travel through Heathrow
with choice, whilst keeping our
airport secure. Biometrics are key to
helping us do that and we are really
excited about the biggest roll out of
this equipment at any UK airport.
“With this technology we’ll be able
to o er passengers choice on how
they travel through our airport,
with colleagues on hand to guide
passengers that require it. Biometric
technology has been well received
by our passengers so far and we’re
looking forward to working with
our colleagues and the airline
community as part of our ongoing
transformation at Heathrow, with
a focus on enhancing passenger
experience.”
