ASUR Announces Total Passenger Traffic up 12.9% Year over Year
Mexico City, October 6th, 2003, Grupo Aeroportuario del Sureste, S.A. de C.V.
(NYSE: ASR; BMV: ASUR) (ASUR) today announced that total passenger traffic for
the month of September 2003 increased by 12.9 percent from the comparable period
last year.
Due to the current situation following the events of September 11, 2001, in the
U.S. and the start of the armed conflict in the Middle East, ASUR's management
is doing an extraordinary effort to publish passenger traffic figures for the
company's airports on a monthly basis to keep investors well informed. Once the
situation has normalized, ASUR management expects to return to normal quarterly
reporting procedures.
All figures in this announcement reflect comparisons between the 35-day period
from August 27 through September 30, 2003, and the equivalent 35-day period last
year from August 28 through October 1, 2002. Transit and general aviation
passengers are excluded.
