Direct Flight to Sustainability: La Paz Airport Receives the “Desplastifícate” Distinction

The La Paz International Airport has established itself as a benchmark for environmental management in Mexico by being awarded the **"Desplastifícate"** distinction. This recognition, granted in 2026, rewards the terminal's extraordinary efforts to eliminate the use of single-use plastics in its operations and commercial establishments, aligning with Baja California Sur's state policies for preserving marine and terrestrial ecosystems.

Implementing this program in an air terminal involves complex logistics: from replacing straws and containers in the food court to waste management with suppliers and airlines. The success of the La Paz airport lies in creating a culture of environmental awareness among its employees and passengers, proving that it is possible to offer world-class services without generating an irreversible negative impact on the environment. This step is vital for a destination that promotes itself as a natural sanctuary and seeks to attract a tourist profile increasingly conscious of their ecological footprint.

With this certification, the Pacific Airport Group (GAP) not only complies with local regulations but also anticipates global sustainable aviation trends. In 2026, the La Paz Airport sends a clear message: modernity and tourism development can no longer be separated from environmental ethics. This achievement is a call for other companies in the tourism value chain in the state to join the "Desplastifícate" movement, ensuring that the beauty of our beaches and seas remains free of pollution for decades.
