Recent Company History

Over the last few months, ASR has reported steady but moderate traffic growth, with total passengers up 3.6% in January 2026 and marginal gains in December 2025. 4Q25 results showed strong revenue growth but softer EBITDA margins, while year-end traffic trends highlighted relative strength in Colombia and weakness in Puerto Rico.
