Grupo Aeroportuario del Sureste, S.A.B. de C.V. (NYSE: ASR; BMV: ASUR), ASUR, a leading international airport group with operations in Mexico, the U.S. and Colombia, yesterday announced that passenger traffic for October 2023 reached a total of 5.4 million passengers, representing a decrease of 0.4% compared to October 2022.
Passenger traffic increased year-on-year by 4.1% in Mexico and 16.8% in Puerto Rico 16.8%, while traffic in Colombia declined 18.8%. Passenger traffic growth in Mexico and Puerto Rico was mainly driven by domestic traffic of 8.6% and 14.5%, respectively, while international traffic increased 40.0% in Puerto Rico and declined 1.2% in Mexico. Passenger traffic in Colombia was negatively affected by the suspension of operations of two local airlines since the beginning of 2023.
This announcement reflects comparisons between the periods October 1 through October 31, 2023 and 2022. Transit and general aviation passengers are excluded from traffic measures in Mexico and Colombia.
