ASUR Announces Total Passenger Traffic up 15.8% Year over Year
Passenger Traffic Figures Will Now Be Reported on a Full Month Basis
Mexico City, February 9th, 2004, Grupo Aeroportuario del Sureste, S.A. de C.V.
(NYSE: ASR; BMV: ASUR) (ASUR) today announced that total passenger traffic for
the month of January 2004 increased by 15.8 percent when compared to January
2003.
Starting with this release, ASUR will report monthly passenger traffic figures
rather than continuing to publish weekly figures. This change makes it possible
to add up monthly figures to obtain ASUR's quarterly passenger traffic results.
ASUR hopes that this change will make it easier for investors and analysts to
calculate and compare its quarterly traffic figures.
All figures in this announcement reflect comparisons between the 31-day period
starting January 1 through January 31, 2004 and 2003. Transit and general
aviation passengers are excluded.
