Crossborder facility at Tijuana airport
Mexico
The Crossborder Facility project at Tijuana International Airport is an innovative international connectivity solution made possible by the expertise of IDOM. The Tijuana International Airport, located just 60 meters from the USA-Mexico border, presented a unique opportunity to improve passenger flow between the two countries. While San Diego Airport, on the U.S. side, faced congestion, Tijuana Airport operated at only 60% capacity.
The bridge links Tijuana airport and San Diego airport
With IDOM’s leadership and extensive experience in airport infrastructure design and management, a presidential permit was granted in the U.S. in 2010 to build, maintain, and operate the San Diego-Tijuana Airport Crossborder Facility, an exclusive bridge for airport travelers. Designed by IDOM as a linear element articulated in two parts joined by a uniform façade, the facility connects Tijuana’s terminal with the bridge arrival area and closes off an existing parking lot. The Crossborder Facility, designed and developed by IDOM, has significantly improved the passenger experience, streamlining border crossing and enhancing connectivity between Mexico and the United States.
