Insights

February traffic fell 5.5%, driven by one-off weather and security disruptions.

Grupo Aeroportuario del Pacífico saw a 5.5% year-on-year drop in total February passengers, with domestic traffic down 4.5% and international down 6.6%. Montego Bay in Jamaica was hit hardest, with a 31.4% decline tied to Hurricane Melissa.

Mexican airports showed mixed performance: Tijuana and Puerto Vallarta posted mid-single-digit declines, while Los Cabos grew 0.8%. Capacity adjustments were modest, as seats decreased 3.4% and load factor eased from 81.2% to 79.4%, suggesting softer demand and operational disruption rather than an aggressive capacity cut.

Security-related events in Jalisco on February 22–23, 2026 caused significant flight cancellations, especially in Guadalajara and Puerto Vallarta. Subsequent disclosures in company reports may clarify whether these impacts remain temporary or signal more persistent pressure on regional travel patterns.
