International Airport Grand Opening Puerto Peñasco, Sonora (Rocky Point) November 5, 2009

It was a beautiful sight and a harbinger of what is to come. On the runway sat two large commercial planes from Aeromexico and Interjet and stewardess crews clad in blue walked the glass terminal. Tessoro at Las Conchas’ banner hung proudly on the tarmac, representing the future of luxury development in this growing beach community. Then, out of the North, landed an elegant Boeing 757 flying the colors of Mexico.

The Mar de Cortes International Airport was formally opened on November 5 in Puerto Peñasco. Dignitaries from all over Mexico flew in for the event and Mexican President Felipe Calderón presided over the ceremony. Sonoran Governor Guillermo Padres and Puerto Peñasco Mayor Alejandro Zepeda watched proudly as their beach destination became national and international news.

Private and charter flights opened last week and a commercial schedule is expected in early 2010. Interjet and Aeromexico are expected to be the first carriers to service the airport. These and several American airlines are in negotiations with the airport operators.

It has been an exciting fall for Puerto Peñasco, with the coastal highway to California, the Pinacate Biosphere visitor center and now the international airport opening. With infrastructure expanding, Rocky Point is expected to receive an increase in visitors over the coming year and broaden its market. While flight service will develop over time, everyone in the Puerto Peñasco community, American, Canadian and Mexican, will remember where they were on this day.

Tessoro at Las Conchas has been delivered at the perfect time and has captured the imagination of the Rocky Point real estate community. Soon you should be able to fly, as well as drive, to join us on the Las Conchas Peninsula at Puerto Peñasco’s finest beachfront condo resort.
