- Monitor the divergence between domestic growth (+3.3% in Sep) and international contraction (-3.2% in Sep) to assess market mix shifts.
- Review the 7.3% drop in CBX (Cross Border Xpress) users at Tijuana to understand cross-border travel trends.
- Confirm if the slight decrease in load factor (81.0% to 80.7%) is a seasonal anomaly or a trend affecting capacity utilization.
