GUADALAJARA, Mexico,
April 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Grupo Aeroportuario
del Pacifico, S.A.B. de C.V. (NYSE: PAC; BMV: GAP) ("the Company" or "GAP")
announced preliminary terminal passenger traffic figures for the month of
March 2009 compared to traffic figures for
March 2008.
It is important to note that in 2008, the Easter Week vacation period took
place during the month of March, whereas in 2009 this vacation period will
take place during April. As a result, March 2009 passenger traffic figures
are not perfectly comparable to those reported in March 2008. This distortion
may be more significant for those airports with greater tourist volume.
During March 2009, total terminal passengers decreased 20.4% compared to
the previous year; international passenger traffic decreased 16.2%, and
domestic passenger traffic decreased 23.1% compared to March 2008.
During March 2009, Mexican Link airlines began operations at the
Guadalajara airport, operating the route to Puerto Vallarta and Monterrey.
