OMA and Grupo Hotelero Santa Fe announce the opening of the Hilton Garden Inn hotel in the Monterrey Airport

●     Investment of Ps.180 million     

● Participation in the project: OMA 85%, GHSF 15%

Monterrey, Mexico, August 27, 2015—Mexican airport operator Grupo Aeroportuario del Centro Norte, S.A.B. de C.V., known as OMA (NASDAQ: OMAB; BMV: OMA), and Grupo Hotelero Santa Fe, S.A.B. de C.V. (BMV: HOTEL) (“GHSF”), announce the start of operations of the Hilton Garden Inn hotel located inside the Monterrey airport.

OMA and GHSF are presenting a new option for hotel services to passengers at the Monterrey International Airport. Located between terminals A and B, the Hilton Garden Inn has 134 rooms and suites equipped with all amenities, a conference room with a capacity for 120 persons and the flexibility to be reconfigured, a business center, meeting rooms, gym, restaurant, 24-hour room service, and transportation services.

The project is the result of a strategic alliance between OMA and GHSF; the partners hold shareholding participations of 85% and 15%, respectively, in the subsidiary Consorcio Hotelero Aeropuerto de Monterrey, which has invested Ps. 180 million in the construction of the hotel.

Porfirio González Álvarez, the CEO of OMA, commented: “The new Hilton Garden Inn hotel marks an important milestone for the Monterrey International Airport, by adding more and better services for our passengers and improving their travel experience. The new installations complement the airport in its development as a regional Hub, and also strengthen its role in stimulating economic growth in the state of Nuevo León and the Monterrey metropolitan region. We are proud to celebrate this opening, as well as our strategic alliance with Grupo Hotelero Santa Fe, one of the most experienced hotel operators in Mexico. We are confident that this project will support the growth of both companies.”

 

With the clear objective of creating greater value for its shareholders, OMA’s diversification strategy contemplates the acquisition of new concessions and the development of industrial, logistics, commercial, and hotel services through partnerships with specialized companies in each sector. The new Hilton Garden Inn in the Monterrey Airport, operated by GHSF, is one of the fruits of OMA’s initiatives to increase its portfolio of new businesses.

Francisco Medina, Deputy CEO of Grupo Hotelero Santa Fe added, “OMA and GHSF have constructed a solid alliance based on mutual confidence, and it has been a successful experience for both work teams. The privileged location of the hotel makes it unique in its ability to offer quality services to business passengers in the airport zone. We are confident of the future performance of the hotel and the satisfaction it will bring to the airport community.”

Grupo Hotelero Santa Fe will continue generating strong financial results, offering our guests quality and service that reflects the passion of our people. Our offerings include irreplaceable locations with a superior product, and services that exceed the expectations of our clients. In this way we create value and are becoming an industry leader in Mexico.
