ASUR airports handle 9.3 million passengers in October as Cancún traffic falls 7.7%

Grupo Aeroportuario del Sureste (ASUR), which operates airports in Mexico, San Juan in Puerto Rico and Colombia, handled 9,282,453 passengers in October 2026, a decline of 0.9% compared with October 2025, according to traffic figures the group published on 5 November.

Domestic traffic across the network rose 0.4% to about 6.79 million passengers, while international traffic fell 4.4% to about 2.50 million. Mexico was the weakest market, with total passengers down 5.4%: domestic traffic fell 3.7% and international traffic 7.6%. Cancún, the group's largest airport, handled 1,893,436 passengers, 7.7% fewer than a year earlier, with international passengers down 9.5%.

Elsewhere the picture was mixed. The airport in San Juan, Puerto Rico, grew 4.8%, helped by a 6.2% rise in domestic traffic, and the Colombian airports rose 2.8%, with international passengers up 6.2%. Among the smaller Mexican airports, Tapachula grew 18.6% and Villahermosa 5.3%, while Veracruz fell 6.5% and Oaxaca 3.8%.

ASUR's release does not explain the reasons for these changes, and for most of its markets the figures exclude transit passengers and general aviation. Monthly traffic totals say nothing about disruption at a particular airport; information about a specific flight remains a matter for the operating airline.
