Key Facts for Investor Verification
- Verify the absolute passenger volume numbers for June 2013, as the filing text provided only percentage growth rates without the underlying base figures.
- Confirm the financial impact of the 12.0% increase in international traffic on overall revenue, given the lack of financial data in this specific report.
- Monitor the operational success of the new routes launched in June, particularly those involving new carriers like Spirit Airlines and United in the Los Cabos market.
- Review subsequent filings (Form 20-F or quarterly reports) for detailed financial statements including revenue, EBITDA, and debt levels.
