The San Luis Potosí City Council is working on opening new air routes connecting San Luis Potosí with McAllen, Texas, and Chicago, Illinois. This strategy seeks to strengthen ties with the migrant community and boost international connectivity, according to Mayor Enrique Galindo Ceballos. Both projects are currently under negotiation and consolidation.
Following the completion of the San Luis-Atlanta flight, after nearly two years of negotiations, the mayor noted that this experience has opened the door to new possibilities. For the route to McAllen, direct talks have been held with the mayor of the Texas city and with Aeroméxico. The intention is to facilitate business, family, and tourist travel between the two cities, given their economic and demographic connections.
Regarding the possible route to Chicago, the main focus is on serving the large Potosí community residing in that US city, one of the most representative in terms of migration from San Luis Potosí. The municipal administration sees this connection as an opportunity to strengthen social and cultural ties, as well as to promote trade.
The mayor emphasized that, despite the tense climate in the United States due to more restrictive immigration policies, the city of San Luis Potosí continues to focus on collaborative work and the creation of opportunities for its citizens, both abroad and through their possible voluntary return.
Although there are no confirmed dates yet for the start of operations, the city government maintains an active dialogue with authorities and relevant stakeholders to bring these important projects to fruition.
