Grupo Aeroportuario Traffic Up

Earlier this week, Grupo Aeroportuario del Pacifico, S.A.B. de C.V. (PAC) announced an increase of 0.4% in total passenger traffic for December 2009, compared to the year-ago period. Domestic passenger traffic increased 1.8%, while international passenger traffic decreased 2.1% compared to December 2008. 

The increase in domestic passenger traffic resulted mainly from increase in passengers at the Merida, Cancun, Veracruz, Villahermosa and Cozumel airports, respectively. The decline in international passenger traffic resulted mainly from a decline in international traffic at the Cancun airport, a prime tourist destination. Major Mexican airlines companies reported a decrease in passenger traffic and the reason was the outbreak of swine flu in the country. Declining business and leisure travel in Mexico affected local airlines' business to a larger extent. In the third quarter 2009 the business environment showed no real improvement.
 
Airlines all over the world are facing difficulties, primarily due to the collapse of the global economy. Declining business and leisure travel is affecting airlines' business to a larger extent.
