Insights

Aviation Industry Analyst

ASUR reports mixed traffic with overall 1.5% YoY growth, strong international performance offsetting domestic weakness.

ASUR's July 2025 passenger traffic figures reveal a nuanced performance across its three geographical segments. The total traffic increase of 1.5% to 6.5 million passengers masks significant regional variations that warrant closer examination.

Colombia emerged as the standout performer with 3.5% year-over-year growth, propelled by a robust 10.7% surge in international travelers. This international strength is particularly concentrated at Rionegro airport serving Medellín, suggesting Colombia's tourism appeal continues to expand. The modest 1.2% domestic growth indicates stable local travel demand.

Mexico's 2.0% overall growth stems primarily from international traffic (+3.7%), while domestic travel remained essentially flat (+0.4%). Looking deeper, there's significant divergence between airports – Merida showing impressive 9.9% total growth while Tapachula declined 19.8%. The crucial Cancun hub, representing approximately 73% of Mexican traffic, grew modestly at 2.1%.

Puerto Rico presents the most concerning trend with a 1.9% overall decline. The 8.0% international traffic growth couldn't offset a 3.5% drop in domestic passengers, which comprise about 85% of San Juan's traffic.

Year-to-date figures reveal longer-term challenges, particularly in Mexico where traffic has decreased 2.6% over seven months despite July's positive result. This suggests July may represent a turning point after earlier weakness. Conversely, Puerto Rico shows 5.3% YTD growth despite July's contraction, indicating a recent slowdown after strong earlier performance.

ASUR's traffic diversification across three regions is demonstrating its strategic value, with Colombia's consistent growth helping balance Puerto Rico's recent softness and Mexico's uneven recovery.

Passenger traffic increased year-on-year in Colombia by 3.5% and Mexico by 2.0%, and decreased by 1.9% in Puerto Rico.
