Beginning as early as Tuesday, travelers crossing from San Diego County into the Tijuana International Airport via the Cross Border Express (CBX) bridge will experience an all new, $100 million facility.
Leaders from San Diego County and Mexico held a joint celebration Monday of the newly expanded Tijuana International Airport. Race and equity reporter Cristina Kim says leaders expect the additions to attract more tourism and greatly reduce wait times for passengers using the Cross Border Express.
“As you cross southbound, you will be in a new facility that is adding more immigration booths, doubling the capacity of customs expansion, and also adding four times the capacity of airline ticket counters,” said Jorge Goytortúa, CEO of the Cross Border Xpress. “To go through customs now before we get to Mexico and it’s the easiest thing. It feels like you are at the airport terminal,” Creighton said.The airport expansion was funded by the Grupo Aeroportuario del Pacifico, which operates 12 airports in Mexico, including Tijuana's. The new facilities will expand screening capacity by 75% and will reduce wait times by 30% to 40%, officials say. The goal is to make CBX crossings a maximum of 25 minutes.
Goytortúa says they’re aware of the problem and are already at work to improve the northbound experience especially as they anticipate four million people to cross the CBX bridge this year.
