Key Financial Metrics

Material Changes and Regulatory Action
On October 4, 2023, GAP received notification from the Federal Civil Aviation Agency (AFAC), a decentralized entity of the Mexican Secretary of Infrastructure, Communications, and Transport (SICT). The agency decided to unilaterally amend the terms of the tariff base regulation (Bases de Regulación Tarifaria) set forth in Annex 7 of the concession agreements dated June 29, 1998. This change applies to the airports GAP operates in Mexico's Pacific region and takes immediate effect without prior communication to the Company.
