MEXICO CITY, Nov. 6, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- 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, today announced that
total passenger traffic for October
2017 declined 4.2% when compared to October 2016. Passenger traffic rose 5.2% in
Mexico, and declined 24.5% in
San Juan and 13.0% in Colombia.
This announcement reflects comparisons between October 1 through October 31, 2017 and 2016.
Accumulated figures reflect comparisons between January 1 and October 31, 2017 and 2016.
Transit and general aviation passengers are excluded for
Mexico and Colombia.
On October 19, 2017 ASUR closed the acquisition of a
controlling stake of approximately 92.42% in Sociedad Operadora de
Aeropuertos de Centro Norte, S.A.
("Airplan"), the second-largest airport concession holder in
Colombia. Therefore, starting
October 2017, ASUR is starting to
report monthly passenger traffic figures for Airplan.
Note that the decline in passenger traffic at San Juan Airport
reflects the impact of Hurricane Maria, which hit the island on
September 21, 2017. Operations at
this airport were still operating on a limited basis during
October 2017. While the number of
flights in October 2017 returned to
the 70 average daily flights reported in 2016, they still register
a lower load factor in arrivals. In Colombia, passenger traffic was impacted by a
strike of local pilots at a major international carrier.
