- Confirm the specific impact of the 45.4% drop in international traffic (vs. 2019) on non-aeronautical revenue streams, such as the hotel operations mentioned.
- Review the most recent Form 20-F to assess the liquidity and debt position, as this 6-K filing does not provide financial statement data.
