Company history
On 29 June 1998, Mexico’s transport ministry awarded concessions for 13 airports to subsidiaries of the company, which was incorporated in November that year. In 2000, the government began privatizing the airport group by selling a 15% stake to strategic partner Servicios de Tecnología Aeroportuaria (SETA).[15][16]
The government completed its divestment through OMA’s 2006 initial public offering on the Mexican Stock Exchange and NASDAQ. That year, Monterrey Airport’s Terminal C opened; Terminal B followed in 2010. OMA and VYNMSA formed the Monterrey Airport Aeroindustrial Park in 2012, and the park began operating in 2015.[16][17]
Ricardo Dueñas Espriu became CEO in November 2018. In 2022, shareholders approved the sale of SETA and Aerodrome to CONCESSOC; the transaction covered approximately 29.99% of OMA’s capital, and VINCI Airports became its largest shareholder.[18][19][20][21]
In May 2024, the opening of Monterrey Airport’s Terminal A East Concourse completed the first phase of the terminal expansion, which OMA said increased passenger-service capacity by 34%. In December 2025, Mexico approved OMA’s development programs for its 13 airports for 2026–2030; they took effect on 1 January 2026.[22][23][24] [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][15][16][17][18][21][22]
