Passenger Traffic Insights: ASUR Reports February 2025 Trends
In a recent announcement by Grupo Aeroportuario del Sureste, S.A.B. de C.V. (ASUR), the airport group revealed its passenger traffic figures for February 2025. The total number of passengers served by the group's airports reached approximately 5.6 million. This marks a slight decrease of 2.6% compared to the same month in the previous year, February 2024, which is noteworthy considering that February 2025 had one less day.
Breaking down the traffic data, Puerto Rico and Colombia saw positive trends, with Puerto Rico experiencing an 8.6% year-on-year increase, bouncing back significantly from previous lows. The San Juan Airport (Luis Muñoz Marín International) reported particular growth; international passenger numbers soared by 19.2%, while domestic traffic rose by 7.5%.
In Colombia, passenger traffic rose by 3.3%, largely attributed to increases in international travel, which saw an upswing of 11.3%, while domestic growth remained modest at 1.1%. This shows a continuing recovery in these markets, contributing positively to ASUR's overall performance.
However, the opposite trend was observed in Mexico, where total passenger traffic declined by 7.5%. Domestic traffic decreased slightly by 2.9%, while international traffic suffered a more significant drop of 10.6%. This decline could be due to a myriad of factors including economic conditions, travel restrictions, or changes in consumer behavior following the pandemic. Key airports in Mexico, including Cancun, Cozumel, and Huatulco, reflected this downturn, with Cancun alone reporting a steep 11% decrease in international travelers compared to the previous February.
Despite the overall decrease in traffic for Mexico, there were some individual routes that performed well. For example, while Cancun showed a downturn, airports like Minatitlán posted remarkable growth in domestic traffic, showcasing the possible pockets of resilience within the broader market.
Looking into the year-to-date figures, ASUR's performance between January and February suggests a continuing theme of recovery in some areas alongside struggling metrics in others. For instance, total traffic for the first two months of 2025 is only slightly lower than the previous year, with a total of approximately 12 million passengers reporting at just a 0.3% decrease.
As ASUR navigates through these contrasting trends amidst a challenging aviation landscape, the dynamics in passenger traffic from various regions underline the complex recovery phase the travel sector is currently experiencing. The figures serve as critical indicators for both management decisions at ASUR as well as broader economic patterns in tourism and transport in the regions they operate.
In summary, while ASUR's overall passenger counts demonstrated a decline largely attributed to Mexican airports, growth in Puerto Rico and Colombia showcases that consumer travel demand is still robust in certain markets. It remains to be seen how these trends will shape the landscape for ASUR moving forward, especially as nations continue to adapt post-pandemic travel protocols. The company’s strategic response to these trends will be critical in securing its position within the competitive airport operation sector.
