Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the impact of the declining load factor (81.1%) on future revenue per available seat mile (RASM) in upcoming earnings reports.
- Monitor the divergence between strong domestic growth and weak international performance, particularly at key tourist hubs like Los Cabos and Montego Bay.
- Confirm if the new Viva Aerobus routes contribute to sustained domestic traffic growth in subsequent months.
- Review the next Form 20-F or quarterly earnings release for actual financial metrics (revenue, EBITDA, debt levels) as this 6-K contains only traffic data.
