Insights

Aviation operations analyst

Total passengers fell modestly to 4.79 million in September 2025, driven by weakness in Mexico offset by gains in Colombia and Puerto Rico.

Monthly total traffic reached 4.79 million, a 1.4% decline versus the prior-year month, with Mexico down 4.5%, Colombia up 3.2%, and Puerto Rico up 1.6%. Domestic traffic fell slightly overall by 1.2%, while international traffic declined 1.9%. The geographic split shows operational resilience in Colombia and San Juan but material softness in Mexican airports, including a 7.4% drop at Cancun total traffic.

The main operational risk is continued Mexico weakness, which drove the monthly decline; recovery assessment should focus on airport-by-airport trends, especially Cancun and other leisure gateways. Watch month-over-month sequencing into October 2025 and year-to-date flows, and monitor whether Mexico’s trend stabilizes or worsens over the next one to three months.

Commercial and revenue analyst

Mixed traffic trends suggest limited near-term revenue upside; net impact is small and broadly neutral.

Total traffic for September 2025 was reported at 4.786 million, down 1.4% year-over-year, while year-to-date totals are essentially flat (+0.1%). Colombia shows healthy international growth (10.0%) and San Juan posts a strong international rebound (16.1%), which support higher-yield segments. Mexico’s declines—international 6.5% and domestic 3.1%—are the primary negative for near-term commercial metrics.

Key items to monitor over the next quarter: yield/mix disclosure tied to international vs. domestic splits, month-to-month traffic in Mexico (notably Cancun), and any company commentary linking traffic to revenue or capacity changes. Given the small net change YTD, expect limited immediate material effect absent follow-up data showing persistent divergence by market.

Passenger traffic increased year-over-year in Colombia by 3.2% and in Puerto Rico by 1.6%, and decreased by 4.5% in Mexico.
