By October the Creel International Airport should be ready to receive its first flights. Creel is, for many, the start of the line or end of the line for Copper Canyon rail cruises, although the line starts in Chihuahua City and continues on to Los Mochis near the Pacific. Now this operation near Creel is the Copper Canyon Ecological Park. The Canyon is four times larger than the Grand Canyon and has been attracting about 200,000 visitors annually, but promoters are hoping that this could increase to two million. Charter flights are expected to arrive from Phoenix, Tucson and El Paso as well as scheduled service from many points in Mexico.
