Passenger traffic increased year-on-year by 5.9% in Mexico and 23.2% in Puerto Rico and decreased 13.0% in Colombia

MEXICO CITY, Sept. 5, 2023 /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 August 2023 reached a total of 6.2 million passengers, 3.8% above the levels reported in August 2022.

Passenger traffic increased year-on-year by 5.9% in Mexico and 23.2% in Puerto Rico and declined 13.0% in Colombia. Passenger traffic growth in Mexico and Puerto Rico was mainly driven by increases in domestic traffic of 13.0% and 21.8%, respectively, together with a 37.4% increase in international traffic in Puerto Rico, partially offset by a 1.3% decrease in Mexico. Passenger traffic in Colombia remained negatively affected by the suspension of operations of two local airlines since the beginning of 2023.

This announcement reflects comparisons between the periods August 1 through August 31, 2023, and 2022. Transit and general aviation passengers are excluded from traffic measures in Mexico and Colombia.
