ASUR Reports Mixed August Traffic and Expands Portfolio
Total passenger volume fell 2.1% as the airport operator finalized its acquisition of Motiva Airports.
Grupo Aeroportuario del Sureste handled 5.9 million passengers across its airports in Mexico, Puerto Rico, and Colombia in August 2026. This performance represented a 2.1% decline compared to August 2025. International volumes dropped 10.7%, which offset a 2.3% rise in domestic passenger traffic.

The operational update comes right after a significant network expansion. On 1 September 2026, ASUR completed the acquisition of Motiva Airports. The transaction added 20 airports to its portfolio, comprising 17 in Brazil and one each in Costa Rica, Curaçao, and Ecuador. Traffic figures will begin incorporating these new locations starting with the September 2026 report.
