Grupo Mundo Maya

What Grupo Mundo Maya does

Grupo Mundo Maya, legally Grupo Aeroportuario, Ferroviario, de Servicios Auxiliares y Conexos, Olmeca-Maya-Mexica S.A. de C.V. (GAFSACOMM), is a Mexican state-owned enterprise created by presidential decree on February 10, 2022 and formally constituted by resolution published in the Diario Oficial de la Federación on April 13, 2022. It is wholly owned by the Government of Mexico and administered under the Secretaría de la Defensa Nacional (SEDENA), with its corporate headquarters located at Campo Militar Estratégico Conjunto No. 37-D in Zumpango, Estado de México. The company was originally announced as Olmeca-Maya-Mexica and subsequently rebranded as Grupo Mundo Maya; in August 2023 it absorbed four predecessor state airport and airline entities (Aeropuerto Internacional de Palenque Señor Pakal, Aeropuerto Internacional de Chetumal Cuna del Mestizaje, Aeropuerto Internacional de Tulum Zamá, and Aerolínea del Estado Mexicano) via merger, with a closing resolution issued in May 2025.

The enterprise operates a diversified portfolio of transportation, hospitality, fuel-distribution, and cultural-heritage infrastructure across Mexico. Core business units are: (1) Airport Operations — 12 airports spanning international, national, and military facilities across northern, central, and southeastern Mexico (Tulum, Puebla, Apodaca, Palenque, Chetumal, Campeche, Ciudad Victoria, Nogales, Nuevo Laredo, Uruapan, Tamuín, and Ixtepec), with takeoff/landing, fuel, passenger handling, and ground support services; (2) Hotel Operations — 7 hotels with combined capacity of approximately 1,296 master rooms (Tulum, Palenque, Chichén Itzá, Calakmul, Edzná, Nuevo Uxmal, and Tulum-Aeropuerto) located adjacent to major Mayan archaeological zones and integrated with Tren Maya railway stations, all booked via the Cloudbeds platform; (3) Parks and Museums — 4 parks (Parque del Jaguar, Parque Nuevo Uxmal, Parque La Plancha, Ecoparque La Ceiba) and 2 museums (Museo Paleontológico de Santa Lucía "Quinametzin" and Museo de los Ferrocarriles); and (4) Hidrocarburos — 18 aviation and ground fuel stations nationwide, including AIFA (Lado Aire and Lado Tierra at Santa Lucía) and Tulum, with published weekly tariffs covering storage, hydrant, supply-by-tanker, and dispenser services.

Revenue is derived from airport usage tariffs (TUA, landing, parking fees), commercial aviation fuel sales (turbosina) and ground fuel, hotel accommodations sold through Cloudbeds, and transactional park/museum admissions. Customers include commercial airlines (Volaris, Aeroméxico Connect, Viva Aerobus, United, Aerotucan), general aviation operators, government/military users, and long-tail domestic and international tourists. The business is delivered via direct on-site sales at each facility, with government tourism promotion (Visit Mexico/Marca México) and Tren Maya integration serving as the principal demand-generation channels. No revenue figures are publicly disclosed; the entity publishes quarterly Estados Financieros but does not break out top-line financial KPIs.
