Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the impact of the 2.4 percentage point drop in load factor (87.2% to 84.8%) on future revenue per available seat mile (RASM).
- Monitor the sustained performance of Tijuana, which showed a 3.1% decline in total traffic and an 11.8% drop in CBX users.
- Assess the sustainability of the 15.2% growth in Montego Bay, which contrasts with a 2.2% year-to-date decline for the same airport.
- Review upcoming quarterly financial reports (Form 20-F or 10-Q) for revenue and margin data, as this 6-K contains only traffic statistics.
