ASUR Reports March 2025 Passenger Traffic Growth Amid Regional Variations
Grupo Aeroportuario del Sureste, S.A.B. de C.V. (NYSE: ASR; BMV: ASUR) has recently released its passenger traffic statistics for March 2025. The airport group, known for its operations across the Americas, particularly in Mexico, Puerto Rico, and Colombia, has recorded a total of 6.5 million passengers for the month. This figure reflects a modest increase of 1.2% compared to March 2024.
Regional Performance Overview
The data reveals notable growth dynamics in passenger traffic across the group's key operational regions. Specifically, Puerto Rico saw a substantial increase of 13.7%, while Colombia experienced a 3.1% rise. Conversely, Mexico faced a decline of 3.0% in passenger numbers during the same period.
Puerto Rico: A Surge in Traffic
In Puerto Rico, traffic benefitted from a significant boost, with international traffic increasing by 12.0% and domestic traffic climbing by 13.8%. San Juan's Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport (LMM) served as the main gateway for travelers, showcasing the island's appeal as a prime destination.
Colombia's Steady Growth
Colombia reported a more subdued yet positive growth pattern. The nation's airports saw a combined increase in passenger traffic, attributing 8.4% growth in international figures and a 1.6% rise in domestic travel. The Medellin international airport (Rio Negro) continued to play a pivotal role in facilitating air travel in the region.
Challenges in Mexico
In stark contrast, Mexico had a mixed performance in its airports, with total passenger numbers decreasing year-over-year. Notably, international traffic suffered a 5.7% reduction, which was slightly mitigated by a 1.1% uptick in domestic travel. The Cancun Airport, a major tourist hub, reflected this trend, also recording a decline in international arrivals.
Detailed Traffic Analysis
| Region | March 2024 | March 2025 | % Change |

The comparative analysis across different airports in Mexico indicates that while some regions like Merida and Oaxaca displayed slightly positive trends, others like Cozumel and Cancun faced notable setbacks.
Future Outlook
All figures presented are reflective of the period from March 1 to March 31 for both years under consideration. It should be noted that last year’s Holy Week took place during the last week of March, while this year's celebration is scheduled for April. Therefore, future months may provide a more comprehensive view of the travel recovery post-pandemic.
Despite the fluctuations in passenger numbers, ASUR remains optimistic about its ability to recover fully, especially with increasing investments in infrastructure and services across its airports. The group aims to improve passenger experience while navigating the challenges presented by evolving travel dynamics.
