ASUR Announces Total Passenger Traffic for December 2002 Up 14.2%
Year-over-Year
Mexico City, January 7, 2003 - Grupo Aeropartuario del Sureste, S.A. de C.V.
(NYSE: ASR; BMV: ASUR) (ASUR) today announced that total passenger traffic for
the month of December 2002 increased by 14.2 percent from the comparable period
last year.
Due to the current situation following the events of September 11, 2001, in the
U.S., ASUR's management is doing an extraordinary effort to publish passenger
traffic figures for the company's airports on a monthly basis to keep investors
well informed. Once the situation has normalized, ASUR management expects to
return to normal quarterly reporting procedures.
All figures in this announcement reflect comparisons between the 28-day period
from December 4 through December 31, 2002, and the equivalent 28-day period last
year from December 5, 2001, through January 1, 2002. Transit and general
aviation passengers are excluded.
