Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the impact of the 1.9% decline in international traffic on overall revenue, given the typically higher yield of international passengers.
- Investigate the specific causes for the 40.6% drop in international traffic at Huatulco and the 18.5% drop at Minatitlan.
- Confirm if the 3.9% growth in domestic traffic is sufficient to offset the international decline in the upcoming quarters.
- Review subsequent filings for financial results (revenue and EBITDA) corresponding to this operational period, as they are not included in this 6-K.
