ASUR Announces Total Passenger Traffic Data for December 2025

Grupo Aeroportuario del Sureste, S.A.B. de C.V. (commonly known as ASUR) has recently revealed its passenger traffic statistics for December 2025. As a key player in airport operations with facilities in Mexico, Colombia, and Puerto Rico, ASUR's latest report shows a total of 6.7 million passengers traveling through its airports in December, marking a modest increase of 0.4% from the same month in the previous year, December 2024.

Breakdown of Passenger Traffic

The detailed analysis of passenger movements highlights a diverse pattern across its operational regions:

• - Colombia experienced a significant uptick in travel, reporting a remarkable 6.0% increase. This positive trend was fueled by a 6.3% growth in international flights and a 5.9% rise in domestic bookings, showcasing Colombia's recovery in the aviation sector.

• - In stark contrast, Mexico recorded a decline of 0.4% in total passenger traffic. This drop was influenced by slight decreases of 0.1% in international flights and 0.8% in domestic traffic. Notably, popular holiday destinations such as Cancun and Cozumel also faced dips in their traffic volumes.

• - Puerto Rico similarly saw a negative trend, with total passenger traffic declining by 4.2%. While there was a slight increase of 0.3% in international traffic, this was more than offset by a 4.8% decrease in domestic travelers, reflecting challenges faced by the tourism sector in the locality.

Year-End Overview

The overall year-to-date figures for passenger traffic in these regions illustrate the ongoing recovery trajectory post-pandemic:

• - Total Mexico Traffic: 3,786,341 passengers in December 2025 versus 3,803,399 in December 2024.
• - Total Puerto Rico Traffic: 1,234,875 passengers in December 2025 compared to 1,289,410 in December 2024.
• - Total Colombia Traffic: 1,688,129 passengers, a notable increase from 1,592,244 the previous year.

These statistics underscore how varying factors across different locales can impact air travel.

Future Outlook

As ASUR looks to 2026, there are several points of resilience and concern:

• - The positive growth in Colombia suggests that efforts to enhance international connectivity could be bearing fruit.
• - Mexico's decline raises questions about the need for strategic marketing initiatives to boost domestic tourism, especially in light of historical travel patterns during the December holiday season.
• - For Puerto Rico, addressing domestic flight challenges could be crucial to stabilizing and growing passenger numbers.

ASUR’s leaders continue to express optimism regarding the ongoing recovery from global travel disruptions. As international travel ramps up, they remain committed to enhancing operational efficiencies and passenger experiences across their airports.
