In the same way, it has participated in the development of the expansion of the Buenavista-Cuautitlán Urban Railway, for which, in addition to the restructuring of existing loans, in October 2021 a Fonadin loan was granted for up to 400 million pesos, to start the preliminary construction, adaptation and modification works for the Lechería-AIFA Section.

The first element of the plan is that Sedena and its Group of Engineers build two commercial runways, a military runway, a commercial passenger terminal and a control tower at the Santa Lucía military airport located in the municipality of Zumpango, State of Mexico.

The Santa Lucía airport is located about 45 kilometers north of the AICM. Brigadier General Gustavo Ricardo Vallejo Suárez, Director of the Sedena-AIFA Engineering Group, explained his plans for the Santa Lucía Base to reach 190,000 take-off and landing operations per year together with the other two airports (Toluca and AICM ).

Sedena will design and build the new commercial section of the airport with prefabricated and modular construction materials, with a budget of 4.1 billion dollars.

The airport will have PBN navigation systems and a total of three runways (original plus two) with an initial capacity of 20 million passengers, with the potential to expand to 80 million passengers, and even 120 million in the long term.

Sedena is planning an intermodal passenger transport station, which will include light rail, bus lines and an underground metro station.
