The company has demonstrated strong passenger traffic growth across its network. In April 2025, total terminal passengers across its 12 Mexican airports increased by 9.1% compared to April 2024, reaching 5.53 million passengers. Key airports showing significant increases include Tijuana (+10.0%), Guadalajara (+9.0%), Los Cabos (+8.7%), and Puerto Vallarta (+5.7%). Overall, the company experienced a 4.2% growth in passenger traffic across its 14 airports, adding approximately 660,000 passengers.
The company faced operational headwinds in 2024, with passenger traffic declines partially attributed to Pratt & Whitney engine reviews affecting Volaris and VivaAerobus fleets. These issues peaked in Q3 2024 but are part of a broader recovery trend in air travel.
Grupo Aeroportuario del Pacífico is strategically diversifying its revenue streams. The recent expansion into cargo and free trade zone operations at Guadalajara airport is a significant move aimed at reducing dependency on passenger traffic, and this new business has already contributed substantially to non-aeronautical revenue growth.
GAP has reinforced its financial stability through prudent management. This includes issuing long-term bonds worth Ps. 6 billion and refinancing existing credit facilities. The company also renewed its share repurchase program, authorizing a maximum repurchase amount of Ps. 2.5 billion for the upcoming 12-month period.
The company continues to prioritize operational excellence while actively diversifying its revenue base beyond traditional aeronautical services. With a robust market position in Mexico's Pacific region and an expanding footprint in Jamaica, GAP is well-positioned to capitalize on the ongoing recovery in air travel and the continued growth of Mexico's aviation market.
