ASUR Announces Total Passenger Traffic for

March 2007 Up 22.6% Year over Year

 

Mexico City, April 10, 2007 - Grupo Aeroportuario del Sureste, S.A.B. de C.V. (NYSE: ASR; BMV: ASUR) (ASUR), today announced that total passenger traffic for March 2007 increased by 22.6% when compared to March 2006.

 

All figures in this announcement reflect comparisons between March 1 through March 31 2006 and 2007. Transit and general aviation passengers are excluded.

The large rise in the year-over-year comparison at Cancun and Cozumel airports was mainly due to sharply reduced passenger traffic in March 2006 as a result of damage inflicted by Hurricane Wilma, which hit the Yucatan Peninsula in October 2005. Although there has since been a substantial recovery, passenger traffic at Cozumel airport continues to be affected by the impact of Hurricane Wilma.

 

Ongoing public demonstrations in the city of Oaxaca have adversely affected tourism in the area. The protests began in May 2006 as a teachers’ strike but have grown into more widespread unrest against the Oaxaca state government. The US State Department has issued an advisory regarding travel to Oaxaca. At this time we are unable to predict whether or how the conflict will be resolved, or how the ongoing demonstrations may affect our operations.
