In February 2022, López Obrador announced the creation of the company “Olmeca, Maya Mexica” to manage the Felipe Ángeles, Tulum, Chetumal and Palenque airports, in addition to the thousand 500 kilometers of railway track of the Mayan Train.
During the commemoration of the Day of the Mexican Air Force in Santa Lucia, the president told the military that this company will allocate 75% of its profits for the pensions of sailors, soldiers and members of the Armed Forces.
