Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto’s plans to build a six-runway airport outside the capital sets the stage for competition from local builders and international groups to get a piece of the $9.2 billion project.

The airport will be built near the existing one east of Mexico City’s center and shuttle almost 120 million passengers a year, quadrupling the capacity of the current one, Pena Nieto said during his state of the nation address at the National Palace.
