Why it matters
The acquisition reshaped Grupo Aeroportuario del Sureste into an operator spanning 36 airports in seven countries. Despite the portfolio expansion, total passenger traffic declined 1.2% year over year to 20.9 million passengers. The company cited airline capacity constraints, higher jet fuel prices, and Spirit Airlines’ bankruptcy as factors contributing to the traffic decline.
