“Tesla is studying investing in that area to take advantage of AIFA,” Ramírez told Reuters on Monday night, adding that the site could serve as a base for the company to export from there by air.
The official added that the electric vehicle manufacturer’s sales would take place once the T-Mex Park industrial park, about three kilometers from the airport, is fully operational. Almost a year ago, the first stone of what would be the largest multimodal logistics hub in Latin America and the Caribbean was laid.
Ramírez did not provide further details, but his comments followed ones he recently gave to the newspaper El Heraldo de México about the prospect of an investment by the firm in that area.
Tesla did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Another Mexican official told Reuters that Tesla had been shown the site but had given no indication of his plans.
Local media have said that Tesla, based in Texas and led by tycoon Elon Musk, will build a “gigafactory” in the northern Mexican state of Nuevo León. with an initial investment of about 1,000 million dollars. The firm has not commented on its plans in Mexico although Musk has met with the entity’s governor.
