OMA's 13 Mexican airports: October 2026 passengers down 4.8% while international traffic grows 5.9%

Passenger traffic at the 13 airports operated by Grupo Aeroportuario del Centro Norte (OMA) in central and northern Mexico fell 4.8% in October 2026 compared with October 2025, the operator reported on 5 November 2026. Terminal passengers totalled 2,294,259, against 2,411,169 a year earlier.

Domestic traffic, which makes up most of the network, fell 6.5% to 1,952,765 passengers, while international traffic rose 5.9% to 341,494. Monterrey, OMA's largest airport, handled 1,244,885 passengers, down 7.5%: its domestic traffic fell 10.4%, while international passengers rose 8.8% to 220,598. Ciudad Juárez recorded a 13.4% fall. San Luis Potosí, up 22.7%, Durango, up 16.6%, and Torreón, up 8.4%, were among the airports that grew.

Over the first ten months of the year the network still shows growth, with 23,929,129 passengers from January to October 2026, 1.3% more than in the same period of 2025, while Monterrey's year-to-date total is flat. October's figures therefore show fewer domestic passengers at several of the network's busiest airports alongside continued growth on international services.

OMA's release and attached traffic report give no reasons for the decline and do not break traffic down by airline or route. Whether the trend continues into the winter season is not established; travellers should confirm schedules with their airline.
