Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico – Grupo Aeroportuario del Pacífico, S.A.B. de C.V., (“the Company” or “GAP”) announces preliminary terminal passenger traffic figures for September 2026, compared with September 2025.
During September 2026, GAP’s 12 Mexican airports recorded a 6.7% decrease in total passenger traffic compared to the same period of the previous year. Tijuana, Puerto Vallarta and Los Cabos airports recorded decreases of 12.1%, 10.4% and 7.5%, respectively.
The passenger traffic decrease during September was mainly due to a decline in seat capacity offered by the airlines, particularly in the domestic market. During the final days of the month, adverse weather conditions associated with Hurricane Polo affected the Mexican Pacific region and Baja California Sur, partially affected operations at Puerto Vallarta and Los Cabos airports.
In the domestic market, the main routes that recorded declines were Puerto Vallarta–Tijuana, Puerto Vallarta–Monterrey, Los Cabos–Guadalajara, and Tijuana–Guadalajara. In the international market, the largest declines were recorded on routes from Los Cabos to Dallas-Fort Worth, Los Angeles and Phoenix, as well as on routes from Puerto Vallarta to San Francisco and Phoenix.
In Jamaica, passenger traffic at Montego Bay Airport decreased by 16.6%, while passenger traffic at Kingston Airport decreased by 3.8%, both compared to September 2025.
