Grupo Aeroportuario del Pacífico (GAP) reported a 17.4% increase in total revenue for Q3 2025, driven by robust growth in both aeronautical and nonaeronautical operations. Despite a 2.5% rise in total passenger traffic, international traffic declined due to U.S. immigration issues and Pratt & Whitney engine constraints affecting capacity for airlines like Volaris and Viva Aerobus. The company’s strategic focus on expanding domestic routes and enhancing its commercial offerings has helped offset these challenges.
The increase in aeronautical revenue by 18.3% was bolstered by a new maximum tariff and the early implementation of a phased tariff increase. Nonaeronautical revenue also surged by 15.6%, primarily from the consolidation of cargo and bonded warehouse operations. However, costs of services rose by 14.1%, driven by regulatory changes requiring GAP to directly operate certain airport services, which could pressure margins moving forward.
Looking ahead, GAP’s strong cash position of MXN 11.7 billion and ongoing capital investments position the company for future growth, despite near-term headwinds in international traffic. The anticipated launch of new international routes and continued focus on operational efficiency are key strategies to enhance revenue diversification and maintain its competitive edge in the regional market.
