Passenger traffic increased year-on-year by 4.5% in Mexico and 11.2% in Puerto Rico and decreased 10.8% in Colombia
MEXICO CITY, Jan. 4, 2024 /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 passenger traffic for December 2023 reached a total of 6.5 million passengers, representing an increase of 1.8% compared to December 2022.
Passenger traffic presented year-on-year increases of 4.5% in Mexico, 11.2% in Puerto Rico, while it decreased 10.8% in Colombia. Passenger traffic growth in Mexico and Puerto Rico was driven primarily by increases in international traffic of 9.6% and 27.2%, respectively, while domestic traffic decreased 1.1% in Mexico and increased 9.6% in Puerto Rico. Passenger traffic in Colombia remained negatively affected by the suspension of operations of two local airlines in the beginning of 2023 which resulted in an 14.2% decline in domestic traffic while international traffic increased 4.0% year-on-year.
This announcement reflects comparisons between the periods December 1 through December 31, 2023 and 2022. Transit and general aviation passengers are excluded from traffic measures in Mexico and Colombia.
