Mexican Airport Stocks Drop as June Passenger Traffic Falls 5.1% to 8.5%

1 articles · Updated · Bloomberg · Jul 7

Summary

  • Mexican airport shares fell Tuesday after June traffic data showed passenger volumes contracted instead of getting a World Cup lift.
  • Grupo Aeroportuario del Pacifico reported a 5.1% year-on-year drop in terminal passengers, missing Bradesco BBI estimates by 14.9%.
  • Grupo Aeroportuario del Sureste posted an 8.5% decline in total passenger traffic in Mexico, with international travelers driving the sharpest slump.
  • The weak figures deepened pressure on an industry already facing broader operating problems, undercutting hopes that the FIFA World Cup would spur demand.
