Item 4. Information on the Company
HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE COMPANY
We hold concessions to operate, maintain, and develop twelve international airports in Mexico’s Pacific and Central regions and two international airports in Jamaica. As airport operators, we charge airlines, passengers, and other users fees for the use of airport facilities. We also generate rental and other income from commercial activities at our airports, including leasing space to restaurants and retailers, parking operations, and advertising services.
Grupo Aeroportuario del Pacífico, S.A.B. de C.V. (sociedad anónima bursátil de capital variable), is a corporation organized under Mexican law. It was established in 1998 as part of the Mexican federal government’s initiative to open the national airport system to private investment. The corporate term is 100 years.
All of our Mexican airport concessions have a term of 50 years commencing on November 1, 1998. Under certain circumstances, the SICT may extend these concessions for an additional 50-year period.
Our wholly owned Spanish subsidiary, DCA, holds a 74.5% stake in MBJA, the concessionaire responsible for operating, maintaining, and developing Sangster International Airport in Montego Bay, Jamaica for a term of 30 years beginning on April 12, 2003. On July 26, 2024, MBJA executed amendments to its Concession Agreement with the AAJ to address the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the concession. As a result, the concession term was extended to 31 years from the commencement date and is scheduled to expire in March 2034. The amended concession does not provide for any further extension beyond the revised term.
On October 10, 2018, we entered into a concession agreement with the Government of Jamaica to operate, modernize, and expand the Norman Manley International Airport (“NMIA”) in Kingston for a term of 25 years, with a potential five-year extension. We assumed control and management of NMIA on October 10, 2019.
Our registered office is located at the address set forth on the cover page of this annual report on Form 20-F. Our telephone number is +52 (33) 3880-1100. Our agent for service of process in the United States is Puglisi & Associates, located at 850 Library Avenue, Suite 204, Newark, Delaware 19711.
Opening Mexican Airports to Private Investment
In 1998, the Mexican government issued the Investment Guidelines for the Opening of Investment in the Mexican Airport System. These guidelines identified 35 of Mexico’s 58 main airports and grouped them into four airport groups: Grupo Aeroportuario del Pacífico, or the Pacific Airport Group (twelve airports); Grupo Aeroportuario del Sureste, or the Southeast Airport Group (nine airports); Grupo Aeroportuario del Centro-Norte, or the Central-North Airport Group (thirteen airports) and Grupo Aeroportuario de la Ciudad de México, or the Mexico City Airport Group (one airport).
The guidelines established a two-stage program to introduce private investment into these airport groups. In the first stage, public auctions were held to award a minority equity interest in each airport group to a strategic partner. The second stage consisted of selling all or a portion of the remaining government interest in each airport group through public offerings in the Mexican and international capital markets. All airport groups, except the Mexico City Airport Group, have completed both stages of this program.
As a result of the privatization process, we and our subsidiaries are no longer subject to the regulations applicable to wholly owned government companies. We believe this structure provide us with greater operational and strategic flexibility to implement our business strategy and to respond effectively to market conditions and growth opportunities.
Investment by AMP
In 1999, as part of the first stage of the Mexican government’s program to open the airport system to private investment, the government conducted a public auction pursuant to which it sold a 15% equity interest in our Company to Aeropuertos Mexicanos del Pacífico, S.A.P.I. de C.V. (“AMP”).
The current shareholders of AMP are as follows:
•Controladora Mexicana (“CMA”) holds 66.67% of AMP. Under the privatization guidelines established by the Mexican government during the first phase of the airport privatization process, strategic shareholders were required include, among other characteristics, both an “operating” partner and a “Mexican” partner (each referred to as a “key partner”), CMA is one of AMP’s two key partners and serves as the designated “Mexican” partner.
•Aena Desarrollo Internacional, S.M.E, S.A. (“Aena Internacional”) holds the remaining 33.33% of AMP. Aena Internacional is a wholly owned subsidiary of Aena, S.M.E., S.A. (“Aena”), the parent company of the Spanish economic group Grupo AENA. Aena operates 46 airports and two heliports in Spain and, through Aena Internacional, in addition to its stake in AMP, holds 100% of the share capital of the concessionaires of seventeen airports in Brazil, and owns 51% of the group that holds the concession of the London Luton Airport in the United Kingdom.
In connection with the auction, AMP paid the Mexican government an aggregate amount of Ps.2.45 billion (nominal pesos, excluding interest) (U.S.$261.0 million based on the exchange rates in effect on the date of AMP’s bid) in exchange for:
•All of our Series BB shares, representing 15% of our capital stock; and
•The right and obligation to enter into various agreements with us and the Mexican government, including a participation agreement, a fifteen-year technical assistance agreement, and a shareholders’ agreement. These agreements are described in further detail in Item 7 of this annual report.
The Technical Assistance Agreement with AMP
Pursuant to the technical assistance agreement, we receive management and consulting services, as well as industry expertise and technology from AMP. In consideration for these services, we pay a technical assistance fee. The agreement grants us an exclusive license in Mexico to use the technical assistance and expertise transferred by AMP or its shareholders during the term of the agreement. AMP provide support in various areas, including the development of our commercial activities, preparation of marketing studies aimed at increasing passenger traffic, assistance in preparing the Master Development Programs required to be submitted to the SICT, and improvements to airport operations.
The agreement renews automatically for successive five-year terms unless one party gives notice of termination at least 60 days before the planned expiration date. According to our bylaws, if we wish to renew or cancel the technical assistance agreement, we require approval from 51% of Series B shareholders, excluding AMP or any related parties. A party may also terminate the technical assistance agreement before its expiration date if the other party fails to comply with its terms. The technical assistance agreement with AMP was automatically renewed on August 25, 2024 and it has been renewed automatically every five years since August 25, 2014.
The technical assistance fee is determined based on the greater of U.S.$4.0 million (adjusted annually for U.S. inflation since August 25, 2000, as measured by the U.S. CPI) or 5% of our consolidated annual income from operations at our Mexican airports (before deducting the technical assistance fee, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization, all in accordance with Mexican Financial Reporting Standards “MFRS”). In our opinion, this fee structure incentivizes AMP to help increase our annual consolidated earnings. As part of the agreement, AMP is also entitled to reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses. In 2023, 2024, and 2025, the technical assistance fee, based on our Mexican airports’ income from operations, were Ps.851.3 million, Ps.845.2 million, and Ps.971.8 respectively. These amounts represented 4.6%, 4.5%, and 4.4% of our annual consolidated income from operations (before deducting the technical assistance fee, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization), respectively.
If our Pending Business Combination is successfully completed, AMP will merge into us and we will internalize the functions currently performed by AMP under the technical assistance agreement. Following the completion of the Business Combination, we will provide these management and consulting services, industry expertise, and technology directly to our airports through our own internal resources. For a complete description of the Business Combination and the expected internalization of technical assistance services, including anticipated transition period, expected savings, and related matters, see “Item 4, Information on the Company — History and Development of the Company — Pending Business Combination”.
AMP’s Rights and Obligations under Our Bylaws
Pursuant to our bylaws, the holder of our Series BB shares, AMP, has the right to appoint and remove our chief executive officer and other senior executives, in consultation with our Nominations and Compensation Committee. Additionally, AMP has the right to appoint four members and their respective alternates to our board of directors. AMP is also entitled to appoint three members of our Operating Committee and 20% of the members of each board committee (or one member in the case of any committee composed of fewer than five members). Members of our Audit Committee must be independent, per Mexican and U.S. independence standards. As holder of the Series BB shares, AMP also holds veto rights over certain matters requiring shareholder approval, including the declaration of dividends, amendments to our bylaws, and any action intended to modify or eliminate AMP’s right to appoint senior executives. Additionally, AMP’s shareholders have assigned veto rights among themselves with respect to the exercise of these rights and other governance matters. This structure may increase the risk of a deadlock at both AMP shareholder meetings and meetings of our shareholders. See “Item 3, Key Information – Risk Factors – Risks Related to Our Strategic Shareholders.”
Our bylaws state that, subject to certain exceptions, Series BB shares must be converted into Series B shares prior to any transfer. However, according to our bylaws, if AMP’s ownership of Series BB shares falls below 7.65% of our capital stock, all remaining Series BB
shares would be mandatorily converted into Series B shares, resulting in the loss of all special governance and veto rights attached to the Series BB shares.
AMP Shares in Bancomext Trust
Pursuant to the participation agreement entered in connections with the Mexican government’s sale of our Series BB shares to AMP, AMP contributed its Series BB shares to a trust. The trustee of this trust is Banco Nacional de Comercio Exterior, S.N.C. (“Bancomext”). For a description of this trust, see “Item 7, Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions – Major Shareholders – AMP Trust, Bylaws and Shareholders’ Agreement.”
Under the terms of this trust, AMP may instruct the trustee to vote shares representing up to 10% of our total capital stock. Any shares held in excess of the 10% threshold are voted by the trustee in accordance with the majority vote of the Series B shareholders. However, as described above, the trust arrangement does not modify or eliminate the veto and other special rights granted to Series BB shareholders.
Global Offering and Establishment of ADR Facility with NYSE Listing
In 1999, 85% of our capital stock was transferred by the Mexican government to a trust established within Nacional Financiera, S.N.C., Institución de Banca de Desarrollo (“NAFIN”), a Mexican development banking institution owned by the Mexican government. In February 2006, we completed an initial public offering pursuant to which NAFIN sold its 85% interest in our Company. In connection with this offering, all of our outstanding Series B shares were offered and sold to the public in Mexico, the United States, and other jurisdictions. As a result, NAFIN ceased to be a shareholder of our Company. We did not receive any proceeds from the offering, as all the net proceeds from the sale of shares were remitted to the Mexican government. Simultaneously with the initial public offering, we established an American Depositary Receipt (“ADR”) facility with The Bank of New York Mellon (formerly The Bank of New York) and our American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) were approved for listing on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). In addition, our Series B shares were registered with the National Securities Registry (Registro Nacional de Valores) and listed on the Mexican Stock Exchange (Bolsa Mexicana de Valores).
Master Development Programs
Pursuant to the terms of our Mexican concessions titles, each of our Mexican airport concession subsidiaries is required to submit a Master Development Program to the SICT for approval every five years. Each Master Development Program sets forth the required capital investment commitments applicable to the regulated portion of our Mexican airport operations, including infrastructure expansion, modernization projects and other capital improvements, for the corresponding five-year period. Once approved by the SICT, the investment commitments contained in the MDP become binding obligations under the respective concession titles.
On August 27, 2024, the SICT approved the MDPs for each of our Mexican airports for the 2025-2029 period. The 2025-2029 MDP became effective on January 1, 2025, and will remain in force through December 31, 2029.
The table below presents our historical capital expenditures for our Mexican airports. Capital expenditures are presented on a cash-flow basis and reflect amounts actually incurred by each airport during a given year. Accordingly, these amounts excludes investments that were planned but not paid for during that year. For purposes of comparing annual capital expenditures with the investment commitments established under the applicable MDP for a given year, adjustments are required to reflect the accrual-based allocation of investments. Specifically, it is necessary to (i) deduct payments made during the year relating to investments allocated to prior periods, and (ii) add investments allocated to the year that remained unpaid as of year-end.
For the years 2023, 2024, and 2025, unpaid allocated investments totaled Ps.901.5 million, Ps.1,193.6 million, and Ps.1,578.5 million respectively. Most of these investments were undertaken in accordance with the applicable MDP commitments.

In 2023, 2024, and 2025, 26.2%, 28.9%, and 29.9%, respectively, of our total capital expenditures were financed by cash flows from operations. The remaining balance was funded primarily through the issuance of long-term debt in the Mexican capital markets (Certificados Bursátiles de Largo Plazo) and bank loans. We expect to continue financing a significant portion of our capital expenditures for our Mexican airports through combination of internally generated cash flows and debt financing, including issuances in the Mexican capital markets. However, our ability to access the capital markets and incur additional indebtedness may be affected by our leverage levels, prevailing interest rates, credit market conditions, compliance with financial covenants and other factors beyond our control. See “Item 5, Operating and Financial Review and Prospects – Liquidity and Capital Resources.”
Our capital expenditures in 2025 were allocated to the following types of investments at the majority of our Mexican airports:
•Terminals. During 2025, we continued the expansion of several of our airports either by expanding and renovating existing airport facilities or by continuing the construction of new terminal buildings. This was primarily at Guadalajara, Los Cabos, Puerto Vallarta, and Mexicali airports.
•Runways and aprons. During 2025, we continued renovating and expanding runways, taxiways and aprons at all of our airports, primarily at Guadalajara, Tijuana, Los Cabos, Puerto Vallarta, Guanajuato, Hermosillo, Aguascalientes, Morelia, Los Mochis and Manzanillo airports.
•Machinery and equipment. We invested in machinery and equipment, including the latest technology in automated air-conditioning systems and various electromechanical equipment that enhance the operation of our electrical systems, improving their reliability and stability, as well as energy quality monitoring systems.
The following table sets forth our estimated committed investments for each of our Mexican airports for the 2025-2029 period under the applicable Master Development Programs, expressed in thousands of constant pesos as of December 31, 2022. These investment commitments were approved by the SICT on August 27, 2024. Under the terms of our concession titles, we are required to comply with the investment commitments established in the applicable Master Development Programs on an annual basis throughout the five-year period.

(1)Figures are expressed in thousands of constant pesos as of December 31, 2022. Therefore, they must be adjusted for increases in the Mexican PPI construction price index upon execution.
Differences may arise between estimated committed investments under the applicable MDPs and our historical capital expenditures primarily as a result of: (i) the difference between capital expenditures that were made but not paid in the previous year and investments made but not paid in the current year; (ii) inflation adjustments; and (iii) investments deferred to the first two months following the end of the corresponding fiscal year, among other factors.
We allocated approximately 87.4% of the total committed investments under our 2025–2029 MDP to five of our Mexican airports: Guadalajara, Tijuana, Los Cabos, Puerto Vallarta, and Guanajuato.
We currently anticipate that a substantial portion of the investments required under the 2025–2029 MDP will be financed through debt issuances in the Mexican capital markets, subject to our leverage levels, prevailing market conditions, interest rates and compliance with applicable financial covenants. See “Item 5, Operating and Financial Review and Prospects – Liquidity and Capital Resources – Indebtedness.”
Acquisition of DCA
On April 20, 2015, we acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of DCA for a total of U.S.$ 192.0 million. The acquisition was fully financed through bridge loans provided by Scotiabank Inverlat, S.A. (“Scotiabank”) and BBVA Bancomer, S.A. (“BBVA”). The loans were refinanced in January and March 2026, respectively, with maturities set for 2027.
DCA Assets
DCA holds a 74.5% stake in MBJA, the concessionaire responsible for the operation, maintenance, and utilization of Sangster International Airport (Montego Bay International Airport) in Jamaica. The remaining 25.5% stake in MBJA is held by Vantage Airport Group Limited (“Vantage”), a Canadian joint venture that operates Vancouver International Airport. Montego Bay International Airport is Jamaica’s principal tourism gateway and is located in Montego Bay along the northern coastal corridor between Negril and Ocho Rios, an area that concentrates approximately 88% of the island’s hotel capacity.
MBJA
On April 3, 2003, MBJA entered into a concession agreement with the AAJ, granting MBJA the rights and obligations to refurbish, develop, operate, and maintain Montego Bay International Airport for a period of 30 years starting from April 12, 2003 (the “MBJA Concession Agreement”).
On July 26, 2024, MBJA executed amendments to the Concession Agreement with the AAJ to address the economic and operational impacts experienced by the concessionaire as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result of these amendments, the concession term was extended to 31 years from the original commencement date and is currently scheduled to expire in March 2034.
As the approved airport operator, MBJA is authorized to perform certain functions of the AAJ with respect to Montego Bay International airport and is required to provide the airport services outlined in the concession agreement. The MBJA Concession Agreement is governed by Jamaican law, and MBJA cannot assign its rights or obligations thereunder without prior written consent of the AAJ.
Under the terms of the MBJA Concession Agreement, MBJA is also obligated to make certain capital investments. See “Item 4, Information on the Company – Regulatory Framework – The Montego Bay Airport Concession.” In 2023, 2024, and 2025 MBJA made capital investments totaling U.S.$18.6 million, U.S.$20.8 million, and U.S.$22.0 million, respectively. In 2025, capital expenditures were primarily allocated to the continued execution of master plan projects, including immigration and security expansions, landside development works, expansion of the east concourse and check-in hall, as well as technology upgrades aimed at improving operational efficiency.
During 2025, MBJA also commenced Phase 3 (3MW) of its solar photovoltaic power plant and battery energy storage system. Upon completion, total installed generation capacity is expected to increase to approximately 6MW. In 2024, capital expenditures were primarily directed toward continued implementation of master plan projects, including immigration and security expansions, major landside development works, east concourse expansion, expansion of the check-in hall and rehabilitation of Gates 1 through 7, among other projects. In 2023, capital expenditures were primarily allocated to the expansion and renovation of the terminal building and modernization of operational equipment, including replacement of the airport’s IT systems, passenger boarding bridges (jet bridges), HVAC and air handling units, X-ray equipment, fire detection and intrusion detection systems, among others. In addition, MBJA completed the installation of an additional 2 MW solar photovoltaic power plant.
The following table sets forth MBJA’s committed capital investments for the 2026–2030 period under the Capital Development Program, as approved on June 6, 2025.

The approved amount was paid in two equal tranches, on May 31, 2024, and September 27, 2024. Previously, at its annual general meeting held on September 13, 2023, MBJA’s shareholders approved a dividend payment of U.S.$30.0 million. On November 15, 2023, MBJA paid U.S.$22.4 million in dividends to DCA based on its stake, and U.S.$7.6 million to Vantage.
PACKAL
On October 10, 2018, PACKAL entered into a concession agreement with the AAJ, which grants PACKAL the right and obligation to refurbish, develop, operate, and maintain NMIA for 25 years, with an option to extend the term for an additional five years, commencing on October 10, 2019. As part of the concession agreement, we paid a total U.S.$ 7.1 million (comprising U.S.$2.1 million to the International Finance Corporation (“IFC”) and U.S.$5.0 million to the AAJ).
Under the terms of the PACKAL Concession Agreement, PACKAL is required to pay the AAJ a concession fee equal to 62.01% of total aeronautical and commercial revenues. On July 26, 2024, PACKAL signed amendments to the Concession Agreement with the AAJ to address the economic impacts experienced by the concessionaires as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, the concession fee was reduced from 62.01% to 53.22% of the total aeronautical and commercial revenues, effective retroactively from September 11, 2023 through the end of the concession term. The financial benefit of this modification was recognized retroactively in our 2024 Income Statement.
All long-lived assets at NMIA are owned by the AAJ. Upon expiration or termination of the concession term, all airport assets, including improvements made during the concession period, will automatically revert to the AAJ without additional compensation. In 2023, 2024, and 2025 PACKAL made capital investments totaling U.S.$5.7 million, U.S.$33.6 million, and U.S.$49.9 million, respectively. In July 2023, PACKAL initiated the comprehensive rehabilitation of restrooms throughout the terminal, which was completed in 2024. During this period, PACKAL also procured a passenger boarding bridge to replace one of the airport’s nine bridges. In 2024, PACKAL commenced the runway end safety area (“RESA”) project, a mandatory work under the concession agreement. In 2025, PACKAL advanced the extension of the runway, one of the mandatory projects under the concession agreement, reinforcing compliance with international aviation safety standards. In parallel, replacement of concrete slabs under the apron work, also classified as a mandatory project, was initiated. Development of Solar Farm Phase II commenced during the year, further strengthening the airport’s sustainability initiatives. During 2025, Phase II of the terminal restroom rehabilitation was completed, along with a full upgrade of the public address (PA) system across the terminal. Renovation of tiling throughout the terminal also commenced as part of the broader modernization of passenger facilities.
The following table sets forth PACKAL committed capital investments for the 2026–2030 period under the Capital Development Program, as approved on June 6, 2025.

Pending Business Combination
At an Extraordinary General Meeting held on December 11, 2025, our shareholders approved a business combination (the “Business Combination”) that includes the internalization (i) the Cross Border Express (“CBX”), a landside terminal facility located in San Diego, California, United States, that connects via an enclosed pedestrian bridge to Tijuana International Airport, and (ii) the technical assistance, strategic advisory and related services historically provided to us by AMP and its affiliates pursuant to the technical assistance agreement and related arrangements. On November 14, 2025, we furnished to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission an information statement on Form 6-K containing a detailed description of the Business Combination, including the background, terms, and conditions of the transaction, which investors may review for further details regarding the Business Combination.
At the aforementioned Shareholders’ Meeting, our shareholders approved a capital increase and it is estimated that we would issue and place into circulation approximately 90 million net new shares representing its capital stock, subject to adjustments. Such shares will be delivered to the direct and indirect shareholders of the merged entities as consideration in connection with the merger.
GAP is expected to issue approximately 187 million new shares. However, prior to the merger, the merged entities own approximately 97 million shares representing GAP’s capital stock. As a result, upon effectiveness of the merger, GAP would receive such shares as part of the assets of the merged entities, and these shares would be canceled.
The final amount of the capital increase and the definitive number of shares to be issued will be disclosed in due course. The Shareholders’ Meeting granted broad authority to GAP’s Board of Directors to determine the terms of the merger, including the number of shares to be issued on the effective date.
Transaction Structure
The Business Combination is structured as a two-step acquisition:
•Step 1 — Merger. The approved transaction contemplates a merger of several entities into GAP, through which GAP would consolidate a 75% ownership interest in the CBX and internalize the technical assistance agreement, U.S.$290.0 million cash and U.S.$75.0 million bank debt. The CBX is currently held through Otay-Tijuana Venture, LLC (“OTV”), which is ultimately owned 37.5% by shareholders of Proyectos de Asesoría Profesional, S.A. de C.V., 37.5% by partners of Promotora Aérea del Pacífico, S. de R.L. de C.V., and 25% by EGI-Otay Investors, LLC. In connection with the merger, we expect to issue approximately 187 million new shares (Series B and Series BB) to the shareholders of the merged entities. We would also receive approximately 97 million of our own shares currently held by such entities, which would be cancelled upon receipt, resulting in approximately 90 million net new Series B shares outstanding (subject to adjustments), representing an approximately 18% increase in our outstanding shares.
•Step 2 — Acquisition of Remaining 25% Interest of the CBX. Following the effectiveness of the merger, we expect to acquire the remaining 25% equity interest in CBX through a separate ancillary transaction for approximately U.S.$487.5 million in cash, contingent upon completion of the initial merger. The Company expects to settle this transaction through the resources obtained in the debt market in Mexico, with the issuance of Bond Certificates on March 31, 2026 for Ps.10,718.0 million.
Status and Conditions
As of the date of this Annual Report, the definitive operation agreements have not yet been executed. However, the Business Combination has been approved by GAP’s shareholders, and there are no outstanding regulatory approvals required in Mexico or the United States to consummate the transaction. As of the date of this Annual Report, all required U.S. regulatory conditions have been satisfied, including expiration of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act and clearance by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (“CFIUS”).
In addition, the CBX facility operates pursuant to a Presidential Permit issued by the U.S. Department of State authorizing the construction, operation and maintenance of the cross-border pedestrian bridge linking San Diego, California and the Tijuana International Airport in Mexico. While the transaction does not require a new approval under the Presidential Permit, the parties expect to provide the corresponding notification to the relevant authorities upon the effectiveness of the merger.
Execution of the definitive documentation and consummation of the transaction remain subject to customary closing conditions and final documentation.
Description of CBX
CBX is a cross-border terminal connected via a pedestrian bridge to Tijuana International Airport. The facility includes passenger processing areas, parking, ground transportation facilities and retail and service amenities. OTV also owns approximately 60 acres of adjacent land available for future development, and the contemplated transaction includes all of this adjacent real estate. CBX operates pursuant to a U.S. Presidential Permit granted in 2010 authorizing the construction and operation of the cross-border facility. The permit does not have a defined expiration date but may be modified or terminated at the discretion of the U.S. Secretary of State. CBX is designated as part of the San Ysidro Port of Entry under U.S. law, and U.S. entry processing is conducted by U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers, with CBX reimbursing the U.S. government for the cost of such services in accordance with applicable arrangements.
Internalization of Technical Assistance Services
In addition to the CBX integration, the Business Combination will result in the internalization of the technical assistance, strategic advisory and certain other services historically provided by AMP and its affiliates pursuant to the technical assistance agreement and related arrangements. Upon effectiveness of the Business Combination, these services would be performed directly by our management and operating teams, and the existing technical assistance structure would be terminated. We anticipate a transition period of 6 to 12 months for the full transfer of services, processes, and systems currently provided by AMP. This internalization is expected to result in estimated annual savings in a consolidated basis of approximately 3.1% of EBITDA from Mexican airport operations (approximately Ps.971.8 million based on 2025 amounts), while ensuring that our airport operations continue to benefit from the same technical assistance and technology transfer functions that were previously provided by AMP as an external service provider.
Expected Financial Impact
If the Business Combination is executed and consummated, our consolidated results of operations would include CBX’s revenues (primarily passenger fees, parking revenues, and commercial revenues from retail and other services) and operating expenses (including reimbursement to U.S. Customs and Border Protection for inspection services, facility operating costs, and real estate holding costs for approximately 60 acres of adjacent land) besides the savings from internalization of technical assistance services. Our historical operating results presented in this Annual Report do not reflect the Business Combination. CBX’s business is sensitive to cross-border travel patterns, U.S.-Mexico trade and immigration policies, and airline capacity and route decisions at Tijuana International Airport. We have not included pro forma financial information in this Annual Report because the transaction has not been consummated; however, investors should be aware that if the transaction consummates, our future operating results and key performance metrics will reflect this new line of business.
Lock-Up and Orderly Disposition Restrictions
Shareholders receiving shares in the Business Combination will be subject to lock-up and orderly disposition restrictions. Generally, these shareholders will be restricted from disposing of the shares they receive for 365 days following shareholder approval of the Business Combination, subject to two carve-outs permitting disposition of up to 25% of their shares after 90 days and an additional 25% after 180 days. Any permitted dispositions must be effectuated through registered public offerings or block sales that comply with applicable securities laws and must be coordinated with the Company management. See “Item 10 — Lock-Up Provisions Related to Pending Business Combination.”
BUSINESS OVERVIEW
Our operations
We hold concessions to operate, maintain, and develop 12 international airports in Mexico and two international airports in Jamaica. Upon completion of our Pending Business Combination, we would also own a cross-border terminal facility in San Diego, California that connects Tijuana International Airport. See “Item 4, Information on the Company — History and Development of the Company — Pending Business Combination”
Mexican operations
Our 12 airports in Mexico serve two major metropolitan areas, Guadalajara and Tijuana, as well as several important tourist destinations, including Los Cabos, Puerto Vallarta, La Paz, and Manzanillo. We also serve mid-sized cities such as Guanajuato, Hermosillo, Mexicali, Morelia, Aguascalientes, and Los Mochis. Our airports are located across nine of the 32 Mexican states, covering an area of approximately 566,000 square kilometers, with a combined population of around 32.0 million, according to the 2020 national census published by INEGI.
All of our Mexican airports are classified as international airports under applicable Mexican Law. They are fully equipped to handle international operations and provide customs, immigration, and refueling services administered by the relevant Mexican government authorities.
In 2023, 2024, and 2025, our Mexican airports handled 56.5 million, 55.3 million, and 57.4 million terminal passengers, respectively, positioning us among the largest private airport operators in the Americas. According to data published by the SICT, as of December 31, 2025, five of our airports ranked among the ten busiest airports in Mexico based on total commercial aviation passenger traffic. Our share of total arriving and departing commercial aviation passengers in Mexico was 31.1%, 30.7%, and 30.2% in 2023, 2024, and 2025, respectively.
In 2025, our Mexican airports generated total revenues of Ps.36.5 billion, of which Ps.28.4 billion corresponded to the sum of aeronautical and non-aeronautical revenues, and Ps.8.2 billion corresponded to improvements to concession assets, recognized in accordance with IFRIC 12.
Our Mexican airports serve several of the country’s most significant international and domestic routes. Notably, the Guadalajara-Los Angeles route ranked as the fourth largest international route in Mexico in 2025 based passenger traffic, according to the Federal Civil Aviation Agency (“AFAC”). We also serve major leisure destinations, including Puerto Vallarta and Los Cabos, which attract a high volume of tourists from the United States and other international markets. In the domestic market, our airports operate key routes identified by the AFAC as among the busiest in the country. In 2025, the Guadalajara-Mexico City route ranked as the third busiest domestic route in Mexico, while the Mexico City-Tijuana and Guadalajara-Tijuana routes ranked fourth and fifth, respectively.

(1)Commercial aviation passengers.
According to data published by the SICT, in 2025 Guadalajara and Tijuana ranked as the third and fifth busiest airports in Mexico, respectively, based on total commercial passenger traffic. In 2023, 2024, and 2025, these two airports accounted for approximately 54.7%, 54.9%, and 54.6%, respectively, of total terminal passenger traffic at our Mexican airports. During the same periods, these two airports represented 52.2%, 50.4%, and 51.3%, respectively, of our Mexican airports’ total revenues and 48.3%, 49.1%, and 49.0%, respectively, of the sum of our Mexican airports’ aeronautical and non-aeronautical revenues.
According to Mexico’s Ministry of Tourism, our country has consistently ranked among the world’s top fifteen destinations for international visitors. Mexico received 42.1 million international tourists in 2023, 45.0 million in 2024, and 47.8 million in 2025.
Tourism represents one of the largest contributors to Mexico’s economy. The Pacific region, where several of our airports are located, is among the country’s most visited areas due to its beaches, cultural attractions, hotels and resort infrastructure. Los Cabos, Puerto Vallarta, La Paz and Manzanillo are key destinations within this region. Among them, Los Cabos and Puerto Vallarta are the most significant. According to the Mexican National Institute of Migration, in 2025 Los Cabos was the third most visited international destination in Mexico, and Puerto Vallarta ranked fourth.
In 2025, the Los Cabos and Puerto Vallarta handled 7.5 million and 6.9 million terminal passengers, respectively (compared to 7.5 million and 6.8 million in 2024). In 2023, 2024, and 2025, these two airports together represented 25.7%, 25.8%, and 25.2%, respectively, of our Mexican airports’ terminal passengers. During the same periods, they accounted for 33.1%, 34.4%, and 32.9%, respectively, of our Mexican airports’ total revenues and 35.1%, 34.5%, and 34.0%, respectively of the sum of our Mexican airports’ aeronautical and non-aeronautical revenues). Both Los Cabos and Puerto Vallarta also operate general aviation and Fixed Base Operations (“FBO”) facilities, providing full-service support to private and corporate aircraft, including refueling, ground handling, cleaning, and catering services.
Our remaining six Mexican airports, Guanajuato (Leon), Hermosillo, Mexicali, Morelia, Aguascalientes, and Los Mochis, serve mid-sized cities with diversified activities. Certain of these markets, including Leon, Hermosillo, Mexicali, and Aguascalientes, are important industrial and manufacturing centers, while others, such as Morelia and Los Mochis, serve regions with significant agricultural activity. In 2023, 2024, and 2025, these six airports accounted for approximately 17.3%, 16.7%, and 17.4%, respectively, of total terminal passenger traffic at our Mexican airports, and 12.9%, 13.5%, and 14.0%, respectively, of our Mexican airports’ total revenues (representing 14.7%, 14.3%, and 14.8% respectively of the sum of our Mexican airports’ aeronautical and non-aeronautical revenues). Among these airports, Guanajuato is the largest in terms of passenger traffic. In 2023, 2024, and 2025, Guanajuato accounted for approximately 5.7%, 5.7%, and 5.8%, respectively, of our Mexican airports’ terminal passenger traffic, and 4.6%, 5.3%, and 5.2%, respectively, of our Mexican airports’ total revenues (representing 5.4%, 5.4%, and 5.4% respectively of the sum of our Mexican airports’ aeronautical and non-aeronautical revenues).
Jamaican operations
Montego Bay airport is a full-service international passenger airport that also supports FBO and cargo operations, primarily serving Jamaica’s agricultural export sector. It functions as Jamaica’s principal international gateway and provides access point for one of Caribbean’s most significant tourism markets. According to Airports Council International, in 2025 Montego Bay airport ranked as the third busiest airport in the Caribbean region (excluding Cuba), based on commercial passenger traffic. The airport is located in Montego Bay, at the center of Jamaica’s primary tourism corridor between Negril and Ocho Rios. According to the Jamaican Tourist Board, approximately 85% of the island’s hotel capacity is concentrated in Montego Bay and its surrounding areas. Montego Bay airport accounts for more than 70% of total tourist arrivals to Jamaica.
Montego Bay airport served 5.2 million, 5.1 million, and 4.5 million terminal passengers in 2023, 2024, and 2025, respectively. In 2025, all passengers were international travelers, of which 75% originated from the United States, 13% from Canada, 9% from Europe, and 3% from other countries. In 2023, MBJA’s total revenues were Ps.2.8 billion, comprising Ps.1.8 billion in aeronautical revenues, Ps.800.0 million in non-aeronautical revenues, and Ps.206.1 million related to improvements to concession assets. In 2024, MBJA’s total revenues increased to Ps.2.9 billion, including Ps.1.9 billion in aeronautical revenues, Ps.826.7 million in non-aeronautical revenues, and Ps.228.6 million related to improvements to concession assets. In 2025, MBJA’s total revenues were Ps.2.9 billion, including Ps.1.8 billion in aeronautical revenues, Ps.848.8 million in non-aeronautical revenues, and Ps.258.4 million related to improvements to concession assets. On October 28, 2025, Jamaica, and particularly the western end of the island suffered severe damage as a result of Hurricane Melissa, a category 5 storm. The hurricane caused widespread disruption throughout the country. Many hotels were damaged and were subsequently forced to close, with some having reopening dates for 2026. This has resulted in a corresponding decline in traffic and revenues.
In 2023, NMIA’s total revenues were Ps.1.2 billion, comprising Ps.973.0 million in aeronautical revenues, Ps.214.8 million in non-aeronautical revenues, and Ps.45.8 million related to improvements to concession assets. In 2024, NMIA’s total revenues increased to Ps.1.7 billion, including Ps.1.1 billion in aeronautical revenues, Ps.218.7 million in non-aeronautical revenues, and Ps.410.3 million related to improvements to concession assets. In 2025, NMIA’s total revenues reached Ps.1.8 billion, including Ps.1.2 billion in aeronautical revenues, Ps.247.5 million in non-aeronautical revenues, and Ps.452.1 million related to improvements to concession assets.
Our sources of revenues
All revenue figures presented in the “Business Overview” section include revenues from improvements to concession assets. However, in certain cases, we refer only to aeronautical and non-aeronautical revenues, or the total of both. For an explanation of why these measures are used for specific comparisons, see the introduction of “Item 3, Key Information – Selected Financial and Other Data.” Whenever we refer exclusively to aeronautical or non-aeronautical revenues, we expressly indicate so. Since aeronautical and non-aeronautical revenues are
derived from our business operations, we believe that these figures may, in some cases, be more useful for readers, as they are derived from the key drivers of our business: passenger traffic and maximum rates.
Aeronautical Services
Aeronautical services constitute the principal source of our revenues and are fundamental to our business model. In 2023, 2024, and 2025, revenues from aeronautical services accounted for approximately 58.0%, 56.9%, and 55.1% of our total revenues, respectively. During the same periods, aeronautical services represented 75.8%, 71.4%, and 70.2%, respectively, of the sum of aeronautical and non-aeronautical revenues in those same years. Aeronautical services are primarily influenced by passenger traffic volumes, air traffic movements, aircraft weight, the duration of an aircraft’s stay, and the time of day an aircraft operates at the airport.
In Mexico, all aeronautical revenues are subject to maximum tariff regulation applicable to each of our airports pursuant to the terms of the respective concession titles and applicable aviation law. Maximum rates are established and updated in accordance with the regulatory framework administered by the SICT. See “Item 4, Information on the Company – Regulatory Framework – Mexican Aeronautical Services Regulation.”
In Jamaica, certain aeronautical revenues are regulated by the Jamaica Civil Aviation Authority (“JCAA”), including passenger service charges, aircraft landing fees, aircraft parking charges, airport security charges and passenger walkway charges. In addition, car parking charges are established by the Jamaican Ministry of Science, Energy, Telecommunications and Transport (“MSET”). Revenues derived from leasing space to airlines, complementary services, cargo handling and ground transportation services are not subject to tariff regulation. See “Item 4, Information on the Company – Regulatory Framework – Jamaican Aeronautical Services Regulation.”
Passenger charges
Passenger charges in Mexico
In Mexico, we collect a passenger service charge for each departing passenger, except for diplomats, infants, and transit or transfer passengers connecting within 24 hours of arrival. Passenger charges are included in airline tickets. We issue weekly invoices to airlines and recognize a corresponding account receivable in the month in which the related flight occurs.
Prior to privatization of Mexico’s airports, airlines were contractually required to collect passenger charges on behalf of the airports. In exchange, airlines were granted a reimbursement period linked to the interest rate on short-term Mexican Treasury bills (CETES), enabling them to earn interest to offset collection costs.
Under our current passenger charge collection agreements, airlines requesting extended payment terms must (i) reimburse passenger charges collected on behalf of the airports within no more than 60 days after the “operational average date” (and in no case later than the corresponding invoice date); and (ii) provide a guarantee, such as cash, bonds, standby letters of credit, or similar instruments, equal to the highest amount of passenger charges collected at each airport during the prior year, covering the requested payment term plus an additional 30 days.
Airlines granted extended payment terms must maintain the required guarantee at all times. If an airline fails to do so, it must immediately reimburse passenger charges upon departure of the applicable flight, without any grace period. Airlines that comply with payment terms are entitled to a 3.0% or 3.4% allowance, depending on the credit period on the value of each invoice paid within seven days after the due date. This allowance may applied toward airport services, ticket counters leases, back-office leases, and passenger charges. In 2023, 2024, and 2025, payments under these agreements were received within an average of 62, 61, and 67 days, respectively.
Passenger charges vary by airport and by destination (domestic or international). International passenger charges are U.S. dollar-denominated but invoiced and collected in pesos based on the average exchange rate of the month preceding the flight. Domestic passenger charges are peso-denominated. As a result, revenues from international passenger charges are subject to foreign exchange fluctuations in the peso-U.S. dollar value.
In 2023, 2024, and 2025, passenger charges accounted for around 87.2%, 86.0%, and 85.6% of our aeronautical services revenue in Mexico. Domestic passengers accounted for 54.1%, 51.5%, and 51.2%, respectively, while international passenger charges accounted for 45.9%, 48.5%, and 48.8%, respectively.
Passenger Charges in Jamaica
In Jamaica, both MBJA and NMIA collect a passenger charge for each departing passenger, excluding infants and transit or transfer passengers. Passenger charges are not collected from arriving passengers. These charges are included in the airline ticket, and we issue weekly invoices to airlines and recognize accounts receivable in the month in which corresponding flight occurs.
In 2023, 2024, and 2025, passenger charges represented 66.2%, 64.5%, and 65.4%, respectively, of MBJA’s aeronautical revenues, and 42.5%, 42.2%, and 40.6%, respectively, of MBJA’s total revenues.
In 2023, 2024, and 2025, passenger charges represented 50.3%, 51.0%, and 50.8%, respectively, of NMIA’s aeronautical revenues and 39.7%, 42.5%, and 42.4%, respectively, of NMIA’s total revenues.
Aircraft landing charges
Aircraft landing charges in Mexico
Aircraft landing charges are fees paid by airlines for the use of our runways, lighting systems, and other visual landing assistance services. Charges vary by airport and are calculated based on the weight of the landing aircraft, determined as the average of the aircraft’s weight without fuel and its maximum takeoff weight. Additional factors considered include time of landing, flight’s origin, and the airline’s or client’s nationality.
In 2023, 2024, and 2025, aircraft landing charges represented approximately 7.2%, 7.7%, and 7.5%, respectively, of aeronautical revenues at our Mexican airports. They accounted for 4.1%, 4.7%, and 4.6%, respectively, of our Mexican airports’ total revenues in those years. Additionally, aircraft landing charges represented 5.5%, 6.1%, and 6.1%, respectively, of the combined aeronautical and non-aeronautical revenues of our Mexican airports.
Aircraft Landing Charges in Jamaica
In Jamaica, aircraft landing charges are collected from aircraft operators for each landing. These charges are regulated by the JCAA and are calculated based on the aircraft’s maximum takeoff weight, as well as the origin, destination, and purpose of the flight.
In 2023, 2024, and 2025, aircraft landing charges represented 8.2%, 8.1%, and 8.1%, respectively, of MBJA’s aeronautical revenues and 5.2%, 5.6%, and 5.0%, respectively, of MBJA’s total revenues.
In 2023, 2024, and 2025, aircraft landing charges represented 7.7%, 7.4%, and 7.8%, respectively, of NMIA’s aeronautical revenues and 5.2%, 6.2%, and 6.5%, respectively, of NMIA’s total revenues.
Aircraft parking charges
Aircraft parking charges in Mexico
In Mexico, we charge carriers for the use of our facilities for their aircraft and passengers after landing. These charges include fees for aircraft parking during the loading and unloading of passengers or cargo and long-term aircraft parking that does not involve loading or unloading activities. Charges for loading and unloading vary based on the time of day or night the service is provided, the aircraft’s maximum takeoff weight, the flight’s origin and destination, and the airline’s or client’s nationality. Charges for long-term parking vary depending on the time of day or night the aircraft remains parked, the duration of the parking stay, and the airline’s or client’s nationality. We collect aircraft parking charges for the entire time an aircraft remains on our aprons.
In 2023, 2024, and 2025, these charges represented 1.7%, 2.0%, and 2.1%, respectively, of our Mexican airports’ aeronautical revenues, and 1.1% in each of those years of our Mexican airports’ total revenues. In 2023, 2024, and 2025, aircraft parking charges represented 1.3%, 1.6%, and 1.5%, respectively, of the combined aeronautical and non-aeronautical revenues of our Mexican airports.
Aircraft parking charges in Jamaica
In Jamaica, MBJA and NMIA collect aircraft parking charges when an aircraft remains on the ground for five hours or more. Charges are calculated in 24-hour intervals and rounded up to a full day for any ground stops of five hours or more within the first 24-hour interval. Parking charges are based on the aircraft’s maximum takeoff weight and its purpose of use (commercial, visiting, or domestic).
In 2023, 2024, and 2025, aircraft parking charges represented 0.04%, 0.04%, and 0.03%, respectively, of MBJA’s aeronautical revenues and 0.03%, 0.03%, and 0.02%, respectively, of MBJA’s total revenues.
In 2023, 2024, and 2025, aircraft parking charges represented 0.1%, 0.2%, and 0.4%, respectively, of NMIA’s aeronautical revenues and 0.1%, 0.2%, and 0.2%, respectively, of NMIA’s total revenues.
Airport security charges
Airport security charges in Mexico
In Mexico, we assess an airport security charge to airlines based on the number of their departing terminal passengers, excluding diplomats, infants, and transit passengers. This charge covers the provision of security infrastructure and services, including X-ray screening equipment, metal detectors, and security personnel. The amount of the charge depends on the time of day the services are provided, the number of departing passengers, and the flight’s destination.
The AFAC and the Ministry of Public Security (Secretaría de Seguridad Pública) periodically issue guidelines for airport security in Mexico. In 2011, the AFAC established rules and procedures for inspecting carry-on baggage. See “Item 4, Information on the Company – Business Overview – Our Sources of Revenue – Non-Aeronautical Services – Recovery of Costs from Checked Baggage Screening at our Mexican Airports.” We enhanced our security measures to comply with these requirements by providing new training and operating procedures, upgrading equipment, and hiring third-party security personnel. We also improved coordination with other airports and airlines. However, because security is a top priority in our industry, we may need to update and strengthen our security measures frequently to address emerging threats.
In 2023, 2024, and 2025, airport security charges represented approximately 1.0%, 1.1%, and 1.0%, respectively, of our Mexican airports’ aeronautical services revenues. These charges also represented approximately 0.6%, 0.7%, and 0.5%, respectively, of our Mexican airports’ total revenues. In 2023, 2024, and 2025, airport security charges represented 0.8%, 0.8%, and 0.7%, respectively, of the combined aeronautical and non-aeronautical revenues of our Mexican airports.
Airport security charges in Jamaica
In Jamaica, MBJA and NMIA collect an airport security charge from airlines based on the number of departing terminal passengers, excluding infants, transit, and transfer passengers, who use x-ray equipment, metal detectors, security personnel services, and other related security equipment. The JCAA regulates these charges, which are assessed at a flat rate for all passenger categories.
In 2023, 2024, and 2025, airport security charges represented 6.9%, 6.7%, and 7.3% of MBJA’s aeronautical revenues and 4.5%, 4.7%, and 4.6% of MBJA’s total revenues.
In 2023, 2024, and 2025, airport security charges represented 28.7%, 28.5%, and 28.4%, respectively, of NMIA’s aeronautical revenues and 22.2%, 23.8%, and 23.7% of NMIA’s total revenues.
Passenger walkway and airport bus charges
Passenger walkway and airport bus charges in Mexico
In Mexico, airlines are required to pay fees for the use of passenger walkways to connect aircraft to terminal buildings, as well as for the transportation of passengers between terminals and aircraft through airport buses or other ground service vehicles. Passenger walkways charges are assessed on a per unit or per service basis and are limited to a maximum service time of 30 minutes. Charges for passenger transportation between terminals and aircraft are determined based on the number of trips made between the terminal and the aircraft.
Passenger walkways are available at six airports in Mexico: Guadalajara, Tijuana, Los Cabos, Puerto Vallarta, Guanajuato, and Hermosillo. Through 2024, the operation of passenger walkways and airport buses was managed by an independent third party that maintained direct commercial relationships with the airlines. Accordingly, the airports recognized only cost recovery revenues related primarily to energy consumption and a per-unit fee associated with the use of these services. Beginning in 2025, we assumed direct operation of passenger walkways and airport bus services. As a result, we recognize the related revenues and operating costs directly in our financial statements.
In 2023, passenger walkway and airport bus revenues amounted to Ps.8.2 million, or 0.03% of our Mexican airports’ total revenues (0.04% of the sum of our Mexican airports’ aeronautical and non-aeronautical revenues). In 2024, these revenues reached Ps.8.4 million, representing 0.03% of our Mexican airports’ total revenues (0.03% of the sum of our Mexican airports’ aeronautical and non-aeronautical revenues). In 2025, revenues equaled Ps.163.9 million, or 0.8% of our Mexican airports’ total revenues (0.6% of the sum of our Mexican airports’ aeronautical and non-aeronautical revenues).
Passenger walkway charges in Jamaica
At MBJA, airlines are charged for connecting their aircraft to terminals buildings through passenger walkways or loading bridges. These charges are regulated by the JCAA and are billed at a flat rate per aircraft connection for the first two hours, with an hourly charge applied thereafter.
In 2023, 2024, and 2025, passenger walkway charges represented 2.1%, 2.1%, and 2.0%, respectively, of MBJA’s aeronautical revenues and 1.4%, 1.4%, and 1.2%, respectively, of MBJA’s total revenues.
In 2023, 2024, and 2025, passenger walkway charges represented 2.2%, 2.4%, and 2.3%, respectively, of NMIA’s aeronautical revenues and 1.8%, 1.9%, and 1.9%, respectively, of NMIA’s total revenues.
Leasing of space to airlines
Leasing of space to airlines in Mexico
We generate regulated revenues from leasing space at our airports to airlines for their operations. These revenues primarily include the leasing of ticket counters, monitors, and back-offices facilities.
In 2023, 2024, and 2025, revenues from leasing space to airlines represented approximately 1.3%, 1.5%, and 1.3%, respectively, of our Mexican airports’ aeronautical revenues, and approximately 0.7%, 0.8%, and 0.7%, respectively, of our Mexican airports’ total revenues. In addition, in 2023, 2024, and 2025, these revenues represented 1.0%, 1.0%, and 0.9%, respectively, of the sum of our Mexican airports’ aeronautical and non-aeronautical revenues.
Leasing of space to airlines in Jamaica
MBJA and NMIA generate revenues from leasing land and space to airlines and other aviation-related service providers. These leases include, among others, back-office and ticket office space, storage areas, vehicle and aircraft maintenance areas, and space for ground handling equipment. Land and space leasing activities are not considered regulated activities by the JCAA.
Complementary services
Complementary services in Mexico
At our Mexican airports, we generate revenues by charging access and other fees to third-party providers of services such as baggage handling, catering, aircraft maintenance and repair, and fuel services. These fees are included within the revenues regulated under our maximum-rate price regulation system and are generally determined as a percentage of each service provider’s total revenues.
Under the Mexican Airport Law, we are required to provide complementary services at our airports in the absence of third-party providers. For example, Menzies Aviation, S.A. de C.V. and Aveespress, S.A. de C.V., currently provide most baggage handling services at our Mexican airports. If these third-party providers were to cease providing such services, we would be required either to provide the services directly or to engage alternative service providers.
The Mexican Airport and Auxiliary Services Agency (Aeropuertos y Servicios Auxiliares), or “ASA,” is a federal government-owned entity that holds an exclusive contract to sell fuel at all of our Mexican airports. We charge ASA a nominal access fee. ASA, in turn, is required to purchase all of its fuel from Petróleos Mexicanos (“Pemex”), a decentralized public entity of the Mexican federal government. If fuel supply activities were to be privatized in the future, the terms of our Mexican concessions provide that such activities would be awarded through a competitive bidding process.
We currently maintain contracts with 42 companies that provide complementary services at our twelve Mexican airports. In 2023, 2024, and 2025, revenues from complementary service fees represented approximately 1.6%, 1.7%, and 1.8%, respectively, of our Mexican airports’ aeronautical revenues services, and approximately 0.9%, 1.0%, and 1.0%, respectively of our Mexican airports’ total revenues. In addition, in 2023, 2024, and 2025, these revenues represented 1.2%, 1.3%, and 1.3%, respectively, of the sum of our Mexican airports’ aeronautical and non-aeronautical revenues.
Complementary services in Jamaica
In Jamaica, MBJA and NMIA generate revenues by charging access and other fees to third-party providers of complementary services, including refueling, in-flight catering, ground handling, and FBO services. Refueling services are provided by a consortium formed by Gulf Stream Petroleum SRL (formerly Total) and GB Energy. The consortium leases land from MBJA and NMIA on which it is constructing an aviation fuel storage facility. Each operator pays MBJA and NMIA a fuel concession fee based on the number of gallons of fuel sold through the airport’s fueling system.
In-flight catering services are provided by Goddard Catering under an exclusive contract originally granted by AAJ. Ground handling services are provided by AJAS, GCG Ground Services (Jamaica) Limited (formerly Jamaica Dispatch), and Eulen America, each of which pays fees based on aircraft and cargo handling activities, as well as vehicle permits for access to the ramp. IAM Jet Center is the licensed operator providing FBO services at both MBJA and NMIA. The airports in Jamaica are not required by law to provide complementary services in the absence of third-party providers.
In 2023, 2024, and 2025, revenues from complementary service fees represented 16.6%, 17.0%, and 17.1% of MBJA’s aeronautical revenues. In addition, they represented 10.6%, 11.8%, and 10.6%, respectively, of MBJA’s total revenues.
In 2023, 2024, and 2025, revenues from complementary service fees represented 9.2%, 8.8%, and 8.4% of NMIA’s aeronautical revenues. In addition, they represented 7.3%, 7.4%, and 7.0% of NMIA’s total revenues.
Cargo handling
Cargo handling in Mexico
Cargo-related revenues at our Mexican airports include revenues derived from the leasing of space to cargo handling agents and shippers, landing fees assessed on each arriving aircraft carrying cargo, and a portion of the revenues generated from other complementary services based on workload units. These cargo-related revenues are largely regulated and, therefore, subject to maximum rates applicable to regulated revenue sources. Increases in cargo volume positively affect our maximum rate calculations, as cargo increases the number of workload units used in such calculations.
Historically, cargo handling revenues have represented an immaterial portion of our total revenues. However, Mexico has significant potential for growth in air cargo volumes. Currently, a substantial portion of cargo originating in the United States and destined for Latin America is handled through international airports in Miami and Los Angeles. We believe that a portion of this cargo could be more efficiently routed through Guadalajara International Airport or Tijuana International Airport, given their geographic location and connectivity.
In 2023, 2024, and 2025, our Mexican airports handled 232.2 thousand, 245.8 thousand, and 254.8 thousand metric tons of cargo, respectively. Guadalajara International Airport accounted for the majority of cargo volumes, representing approximately 71.1%, 70.7%, and 72.0% of the total cargo handled by our Mexican airports in 2023, 2024, and 2025, respectively.
Cargo handling in Jamaica
Most cargo transported through Jamaican airports is carried on passenger aircraft as belly cargo. There are only two dedicated cargo carriers at the airports, both of which use small aircraft. As a result, cargo handling activities do not generate significant revenues at either MBJA or NMIA.
In 2023, 2024, and 2025, MBJA handled 5.3 thousand, 5.3 thousand, and 5.2 thousand metric tons of cargo, respectively.
In 2023, 2024, and 2025, NMIA handled 17.1 thousand, 26.4 thousand, and 20.5 thousand metric tons of cargo, respectively.
Ground transportation
Permanent ground transportation in Mexico
At our Mexican airports, ground transportation providers, including taxis and bus operators, pay access fee to operate on airport premises, from which we generate revenues. Under Mexican law, revenues derived from providers of ground transportation services classified as “permanent,” including access fees charged to taxis and buses, are regulated. In addition, passenger taxi fares are subject to regulatory oversight.
Non-aeronautical services
General
Historically, non-aeronautical services have represented a smaller portion of our revenues compared to aeronautical services. In 2023, non-aeronautical services accounted for 24.2% of the sum of aeronautical and non-aeronautical revenues, increasing to 28.6% in 2024 and 29.8% in 2025. Revenues from non-aeronautical services are primarily derived from commercial activities at our airports.
We pursue two principal strategies to enhance commercial revenues:
Business operated by third parties
We conduct ongoing market analyses, brand positioning studies and consumer behavior research to identify and select third-party commercial operators offering innovative concepts and strong brand recognition. In parallel, we continue to modernize terminal spaces and develop new commercial projects aimed at increasing commercial revenue per passenger.
In 2023, we launched a comprehensive market research initiative to better understand passenger preferences and optimize our commercial strategy across the network. This initiative concluded in 2025 and informed the redesign of our commercial mix in certain airports.
As a result, Guadalajara International Airport became the first airport within our group to implement a revised commercial offering designed to optimize tenant mix. The updated portfolio includes internationally recognized brands such as Shake Shack, Italianni’s, Le Pain Quotidien and Domino’s Pizza, as well as selected Mexican operators, including Los Otates, Maestro Dobel, Ojo de Agua, Moshi Moshi, Loma Linda and Tacos Fuego, among others, thereby maintaining a balance between international and local concepts.
At Tijuana International Airport, a strategic reconfiguration of commercial space was executed during 2025, converting certain retail square footage into food and beverage (“F&B”) areas. The project is fully operational and was designed to optimize the commercial mix and improve alignment with passenger demand patterns.
Business operated directly by us
We also operate a portfolio of commercial businesses managed directly by us, including VIP lounges, parking facilities, convenience stores and advertising services.
During the fourth quarter of 2025, construction of new office space and a coworking facility at Guadalajara International Airport was completed. The coworking space is located within the airport’s mixed-use development and forms part of our strategy to diversify non-aeronautical revenue streams.
In addition, we continue to evaluate new commercial development opportunities. In 2025, we conducted market research to assess potential hotel development opportunities across our airport network in the coming years. We also completed a rebranding initiative for our convenience store operations, with the exception of two units at Los Mochis International Airport, which are expected to be finalized during the first half of 2026.
As part of our commercial aviation strategy, we commenced operations of a new fixed-base operation (“FBO”) at La Paz International Airport. We also operate a 5,000-square-meter hangar within our FBO at San José del Cabo International Airport.
None of our non-aeronautical revenues in Mexico are subject to regulation under the Mexican maximum tariff system. In Jamaica, non-aeronautical revenues are generally unregulated, except for revenues derived from car parking facilities, which are subject to regulatory oversight.
Revenues from Commercial Activities
Privatized airports typically generate a significant portion of their revenues from commercial activities. These revenues are largely driven by passenger traffic volumes, passengers’ spending patterns, terminal layout and design, the mix and quality of retail tenants, and the fee structures applicable to businesses operating at the airport. Commercial revenues also depend significantly on international passengers, as international passengers generally exhibit higher spending habits, particularly on duty-free products. As a result, enhancing the passenger experience has become increasingly important to supporting the growth of commercial revenue at our airports.
Since 2023, demand for food and beverages offering, both in domestic and international terminals, has increased significantly and has outpaced retail sales growth, becoming one of the most important commercial business lines at airports.
We currently have the following types of commercial activities at each of our airports:
•Leasing of space. We generate non-aeronautical revenues by leasing terminal space to airlines and other service providers for activities that are not directly related to regulated aeronautical services. These activities include retail, food and beverage, advertising and other commercial offerings. For example, third-party operated VIP lounges, such as Salón Beyond Banamex and Aeroméxico’s Club Premier at Guadalajara International Airport, are classified as non-aeronautical commercial activities. In 2025, Universal Aviation, a fixed-base operator (“FBO”), installed aircraft service facilities at Guadalajara International Airport during the fourth quarter. These facilities are expected to become fully operational during the second quarter of 2026. In addition, the development of a new FBO facility is projected to be completed by the end of 2026. As of December 31, 2025, the hangar area at Guadalajara International Airport had an occupancy rate of approximately 90%.
•Retail stores.We generate non-aeronautical revenues by leasing terminal space to a variety of retail operators, including souvenir and gift shops, fashion and footwear stores, pharmacies, jewelry stores, electronics retailers and cosmetics outlets, among others. In 2025, we launched requests for proposals (“RFPs”) for retail spaces located in departure lounges at Los Cabos, Tijuana and Guadalajara International Airports as part of our ongoing commercial optimization strategy. Brand performance studies conducted in 2024 indicated that the relative share of traditional retail revenues may decline in the coming years due to evolving passenger consumption patterns. In response, we adjusted the commercial mix at certain airports. At Tijuana International Airport, six retail units were repurposed and converted into food and beverage (“F&B”) spaces to better align with passenger demand. In addition, further space reconfigurations were executed at Tijuana to increase F&B capacity. Looking forward, we expect to conduct additional market research and layout reconfiguration studies in connection with new terminal developments at Puerto Vallarta, Guadalajara, Tijuana and Kingston International Airports to optimize the allocation of retail and F&B space.
•Food and beverage services. We have generated significant revenues from leasing space to food and beverage (“F&B”) operators across our terminals over the past five years. F&B services represent one of our highest-performing non-aeronautical business lines. In 2025, revenues from F&B operations increased by 13.6% compared to 2024, reflecting continued optimization of our commercial mix and passenger demand trends. In 2025, we launched a request for proposals (“RFP”) process for F&B concessions at Guanajuato International Airport, with the objective of renewing existing brands and expanding participation to new operators. In addition, we expect to conduct comprehensive market studies in connection with the strategic reconfiguration of terminal layouts at Puerto Vallarta, Guadalajara, Tijuana and Kingston airports to further optimize the allocation of retail and F&B space. At Tijuana International Airport, a structural reconfiguration was implemented to convert certain retail space into specialized F&B counters. As part of this strategy, new brands introduced at the airport include Fuego, Subway, Dunkin’, Lupe and Shake Shack.
•Car rentals. We generate non-aeronautical revenues by leasing terminal space and designated parking areas to car rental companies, including service counters, reservation booths and vehicle parking facilities. In 2023, we conducted competitive bidding processes for car rental concessions at Aguascalientes, Guanajuato, Guadalajara, Hermosillo and Los Cabos airports. As a result, new car rental operators were incorporated at Guanajuato, Guadalajara, Hermosillo and La Paz airports, strengthening competition and expanding our commercial offering. In 2024, we conducted a bidding process at Morelia International Airport aimed at enhancing revenue generation and attracting new operators. In 2025, we completed a bidding process for the allocation of service modules at Puerto Vallarta International Airport. During the second half of 2025, additional bidding processes were conducted at Tijuana International Airport for customer service modules, resulting in the incorporation of two new operators. At the beginning of 2025, we also conducted a bidding process at Aguascalientes International Airport to improve commercial terms and upgrade the image of the customer service module area. These competitive processes are designed to optimize commercial conditions, diversify service offerings and support revenue growth within this business line.
•Timeshare marketing and sales. We get revenues from timeshare developers to whom we rent space in our Mexican airports to market and sell timeshare units, mainly in tourist destinations such as Puerto Vallarta and Los Cabos.
•Duty-free stores. We have duty-free stores at several airports, including Los Cabos, Puerto Vallarta, Guanajuato, Guadalajara, Tijuana, Montego Bay, and Kingston. Our primary goal is to provide international passengers with easy access to the airport’s commercial area and ensure they receive high-quality service at our duty-free stores. In 2024, we opened a new duty-free store covering 234 square meters at Guadalajara airport. Additionally, the contracts for the duty-free stores at Puerto Vallarta and Guanajuato Airports were renewed in 2024, and these stores began operations under more favorable financial conditions in the first quarter of 2024.
•Communications. We have recently consolidated all telephone and internet services at our Mexican airports under a single provider. As part of our agreement with this provider, we charge a monthly rental fee. At Jamaica’s airports, two communication companies, Digicel and Flow, offer cellular and fixed-line telephone services. However, fixed-line telephone services have reached maturity and are expected to decline due to the increasing use of mobile phones. On the other hand, there has been a rising demand for space outside our terminals to install cellular antennas, which will enhance the service provided to our passengers. All of our airports offer wireless internet service, which has been free for passengers since 2019. Additionally, we have been selling advertising on our wireless internet since 2020. In August 2023, we began negotiations with Total Play to seek an additional option for carrier services, the new contract was signed in the second half of 2024. In November 2025, a new telecommunications service provider executed a contract to deliver services to customers of the Office Tower building located at Guadalajara Airport. This addition expanded the connectivity options available by adding an additional alternative to the existing operators, thereby strengthening the quality and diversity of services offered to the building’s users.
•Financial services. In recent years, we have upgraded and modernized the commercial spaces leased to financial service providers, including currency exchange operators and tax refund offices. We also renegotiated and improved commercial terms with our primary foreign exchange provider, Globo Cambio. At Guadalajara International Airport, a designated area within the mixed-use development has been allocated to HSBC to provide banking services. In addition, BBVA and Scotiabank executed lease agreements to expand their presence at several of our airports. During the first half of 2024, Banregio installed automated teller machines (“ATMs”) at our airports, expanding the availability of financial services to passengers. We also initiated negotiations with Euronet, resulting in the installation of its first two ATMs by year-end 2024. In 2025, additional ATM services were introduced at Puerto Vallarta and Los Cabos International Airports, further strengthening our financial services offering.
•Ground transportation. Under Mexican law, non-permanent ground transportation service providers, such as charter bus operators, are classified as non-aeronautical commercial activities and are not subject to regulation under the Mexican maximum tariff system. In Jamaica, Montego Bay International Airport generates revenue from ground transportation operators, including taxi and bus companies, that pay access fees to operate on airport premises. Operators are required to pay monthly fees for each authorized vehicle, as well as for any commercial space utilized. These access fees are not regulated and are established by the airport. As passenger traffic has recovered, demand for ground transportation services has increased. For example, operators at Guadalajara International Airport have expanded their fleets and workforce to accommodate higher passenger volumes. We monitor operational data to assess demand levels and support service planning initiatives. In anticipation of increased demand associated with the FIFA World Cup and other international events, we implement measures during 2025 to enhance ground transportation capacity at Guadalajara International Airport. A competitive bidding process was conducted to incorporate an additional taxi operator. Following an evaluation process, Ecofy was awarded a concession in 2025 to operate 120 vehicles, with the objective of expanding fleet capacity and improving service availability. Additionally, a shuttle service operated by Transporte Ejecutivo Express was introduced at Guadalajara International Airport, providing transportation to four key locations within the city: the Central Bus Station, Downtown Guadalajara, Minerva Roundabout and Expo Guadalajara. At Tijuana International Airport, five ticketing modules located at the bus terminal were awarded and are currently operational, offering routes throughout northern Mexico and Southern California.
We currently operate the following commercial lines directly:
•Parking facilities. We manage car parking facilities at all of our airports, with our main locations being Guadalajara and Tijuana. The revenue generated from these parking facilities is directly linked to passenger traffic. Currently, in Mexico, there are no maximum rates set for parking; however, if the Mexican Antitrust Commission (Comisión Federal de Competencia) determines that there are no competing alternatives for parking at certain airports, they may become regulated. In Jamaica, parking fees for car facilities are set by the Jamaican Ministry of Science, Energy, Telecommunications and Transport (MSET), but we are actively lobbying the Jamaican Government to allow us to set these fees at commercial rates. In recent years, we have invested in expanding our parking facilities at several airports, including Guadalajara, Tijuana, Guanajuato, and Mexicali. As a result, there has been a 4% increase in public parking spaces in 2023. In 2024, we expanded Guadalajara’s short stay parking by 33.3%. Additionally, in Mexicali, we created a long-term parking lot with a capacity of 400 spaces, and another lot with 200 spaces is currently under construction. At Tijuana airport, we developed a long-term parking facility with 1,200 spaces, which includes a shuttle service and a waiting room.
•Convenience stores. As of December 31, 2025, we operated 33 convenience stores and 64 vending machines across our Mexican airports. In 2024, we opened one convenience store at Guadalajara International Airport and another at La Paz International Airport. During that year, we also initiated a rebranding and image refresh program across our convenience store network. In addition, one store was relocated within Terminal 1 at Los Cabos International Airport to optimize passenger traffic exposure. In 2025, we expanded our portfolio with the opening of two additional stores, one at Puerto Vallarta International Airport and another at Tijuana International Airport. As part of our ongoing rebranding initiative, two stores at Los Mochis International Airport remain pending renovation and are expected to be completed during the first half of 2026. For the year ended December 31, 2025, revenues from our convenience store operations increased by 16.0% compared to 2024.
•During the second half of 2025, we implemented operational improvements related to warehouse management and supply chain processes for our Aeromarket convenience stores. These initiatives, which are expected to continue through 2026, include: (i) standardization of inventory supply processes from warehouses to stores and from suppliers to warehouses; (ii) enhancements to warehouse layout and internal signage; (iii) refurbishment of company-owned warehouse facilities; (iv) expansion of warehouse floor space at certain locations; and (v) commencement of construction of a centralized warehouse facility at Los Cabos airport.
•VIP lounges. In 2025, we operated a total of 13 VIP lounges across nine airports in Mexico, including two lounges in Guadalajara, two in Los Cabos, three in Puerto Vallarta and one lounge each in Aguascalientes, Guanajuato, Hermosillo, La Paz, Tijuana and Mexicali. During 2025, our VIP lounges in Mexico recorded approximately 1.8 million visits, representing a 20% increase compared to 2024. The four airports with the highest traffic—Guadalajara, Los Cabos, Tijuana and Puerto Vallarta—accounted for approximately 85% of total lounge visits. Lounge visits increased by 32% in Guadalajara, 15% in Tijuana, 10% in Los Cabos and 8% in Puerto Vallarta compared to the prior year. In 2022, we introduced “VIP Passport,” a membership program providing access to our lounge network. During 2025, we sold 9,288 memberships, representing a 51% increase compared to 2024. Since its launch, the program has grown by approximately 271%. In 2024, spa facilities were introduced in the VIP lounges at Guadalajara and Los Cabos airports, offering additional services such as massage and nail treatments. These initiatives contributed to a 75% increase in related ancillary revenues in 2025 compared to 2024.
•Advertising. In 2025, our advertising business recorded revenues growth of 25% compared to 2024, reflecting continued demand for airport media assets and the expansion of our digital inventory. Since initiating our digital transformation strategy in 2021, we have progressively increased the deployment of digital advertising spaces across our airport network. In 2025, digital advertising revenues increased by 5% year-over-year and represented 33.8% of total advertising revenues, while traditional advertising formats accounted for the remaining 66.2%. Growth in this segment has been primarily driven by the continued expansion of Digital Out of Home (“DOOH”) inventory, including high-impact digital displays strategically located within terminal facilities. These assets provide advertisers with scalable reach, continuous visibility and competitive cost-per-impression metrics. Our advertising platform serves a broad passenger base, including leisure, business and corporate travelers, offering exposure to both consumer and business audiences. Advertising spaces are distributed throughout key passenger circulation areas to maximize visibility. In addition, our advertising business supports communication initiatives associated with large-scale international events, including FIFA-related activities, positioning our airport media network as a channel for official sponsors and event-related messaging.
•FBO. In 2025, Primesky continued to expand its ground handling services, maintaining compliance with applicable operational and service standards. As a result, the FBO business line recorded a 31% increase in revenues compared to 2024. In 2023, following a competitive bidding process with private aviation operators, two operators were selected to continue using the facilities. During that year, we also maintained ground handling operations under the “Primesky” brand. As of year-end 2023, the FBO business line held an estimated 43% market share at Los Cabos International Airport. In 2024, we continued the refurbishment of the Fixed Base Operator (“FBO”) facilities at Los Cabos International Airport to enhance passenger and crew experience.In March 2025, a new hangar with capacity for six aircraft commenced operations at Los Cabos. At Hermosillo International Airport, in 2023 we repurposed space within the General Aviation Terminal (GAT) to establish Primesky facilities offering both above-wing and below-wing services for passengers and flight crews. In 2024, this initiative generated revenues of Ps. 2.0 million. During 2025, Primesky at Hermosillo continued to expand its commercial and operational services tailored to private aviation users. At La Paz International Airport, refurbishment of the FBO terminal began in 2024, including the repurposing of existing infrastructure to develop a fully operational FBO facility. An adjacent hangar was also refurbished to support aircraft handling requirements. Primesky commenced operations at La Paz in 2025, generating revenues of Ps. 3.3 million during the year.
•Leasing of Spaces for Cargo Logistics: In the third quarter of 2023, we acquired Inmuebles Especializados Matrix in Tijuana in order to expand our cargo and aviation services infrastructure, including hangar space and facilities for cargo-related operations. Following the acquisition, demand increased for office space used by customs brokers and for maintenance areas dedicated to ground handling equipment. As of December 31, 2025, Matrix’s facilities designated for shipping and delivery services were fully leased, and the hangar space for aircraft maintenance was fully occupied. Companies operating at Matrix include Volaris, Carga Aérea Matrix, FedEx, DHL and UPS. During 2025, Matrix’s cargo platform handled daily operations from leading courier companies, including Estafeta, DHL, UPS and FedEx. In 2025, Matrix generated revenues of Ps. 146.0 million, representing a 6.0% increase compared to Ps. 137.3 million in 2024.
•Hotel. On March 26, 2024, a Hilton Garden Inn commenced operations within the Guadalajara International Airport terminal complex. The hotel comprises 180 rooms and includes a restaurant, bar, meeting rooms, fitness center and laundry facilities. As of December 31, 2025, the hotel reported an average occupancy rate of approximately 77% and an average daily rate (ADR) of Ps. 2,867, per room.
•Cargo and Bonded Warehouse Business. In June 2024, we acquired 51.5% of the shares of the Guadalajara World Trade Center. This group of companies specializes in handling, storage, and custody services for international trade merchandise in facilities qualified as fiscal Bounded Warehouse at the Guadalajara and Puebla airports.
•Corporate Office. In 2025, we formally launched a new business unit at Guadalajara International Airport focused on flexible workspace services. As of December 31, 2025, nine contracts had been executed, and the coworking facilities commenced operations under the name “Airport Terminal Coworking.” The facility includes shared workspaces, private offices, meeting rooms and a training room with capacity for up to 24 people. The space was designed to provide passengers, airport users and the broader airport community with a flexible and functional environment for meetings, work sessions and other professional activities.
Domestic passengers in Mexico
In 2023, 2024, and 2025, domestic passengers represented approximately 64.4%, 62.3%, and 63.5%, respectively, of total passenger traffic at our Mexican airports. Passengers using the Cross Border Xpress (CBX) facility at our Tijuana airport are classified as international passengers for statistical purposes. We estimate that a significant portion of our international passenger traffic in Mexico consists of Mexicans nationals traveling to or from the United States. Based on passenger surveys and consumption studies conducted at our airports, we have observed that the spending patterns of these Mexican international passengers are generally more comparable to those of domestic passengers than those of other international passengers, as they tend to purchase fewer discretionary retail and duty-free products. In response to these observed consumption patterns, we have focused on strengthening brand positioning and enhancing the commercial mix across our terminals, including adjustments to retail offerings and pricing strategies designed to better align with passenger demographics. Based on our surveys and internal analyses, we believe these initiatives have contributed to increased commercial performance and are expected to support further growth in per-passenger spending among both domestic passengers and Mexican international passengers, although there can be no assurance that such trends will continue. In 2023, 2024, and 2025, average consumer spending per passenger in our Mexican airports increased by 5.4%, 13.2%, and 25.3%, respectively, compared to the prior year, partially as a result of the implementation of these strategies.
Recovery of Costs from Checked Baggage Screening at our Mexican Airports
We currently have checked baggage screening equipment installed at eleven out of our twelve Mexican airports. As of December 31, 2025, we have entered into agreements with all of our airline customers for the operation of baggage screening equipment.
We incur ongoing costs related to the operation and maintenance of this equipment, which we recover from our airline customers. For additional information regarding baggage screening equipment, see “Item 4, Information on the Company – Regulatory Framework – Mexican Airport Concessions – Scope of Concessions.”
Recent Expansion and Development of Commercial Areas
Privatized airports typically generate between 20% and 30% of their total revenues from commercial activities. In 2023, 2024, and 2025, revenues from non-aeronautical services at our airports accounted for 24.2%, 28.6%, and 29.8% of our total revenues, respectively. As part of our business strategy, we have focused on increasing our commercial revenues through the implementation of the following initiatives:
•Redesigning and expanding the space available in our airport terminals allocated to commercial activities:
To boost revenues from commercial activities, we have expanded and redesigned certain terminals at our Mexican airports to accommodate more commercial businesses. In addition, we have redirected the flow of passengers through our airports to increase their exposure to commercial areas. For instance, at Guadalajara airport, the redesigned layouts include food and beverage units located on a newly constructed terrace where passengers can enjoy being outdoors while waiting for their flights. A similar layout has been in place at Los Cabos Airport since 2020. The expanded commercial offer includes new concepts in food and beverages.
•Renegotiating agreements with terminal tenants to be more consistent with market practices:
We have progressively transitioned our commercial lease agreements toward royalty-based structures, under which lease payments are calculated as a percentage of tenants’ gross revenues, subject to agreed minimum guaranteed amounts.
Based on the nature of our tenants’ operations, we estimate that approximately 90.4% of our current commercial revenues are eligible to be structured under royalty-based arrangements. As of December 31, 2025, approximately 98.4% of the contracts eligible for royalty-based treatment had been executed under such terms. We believe this structure enhances alignment between airport performance and tenant revenues while preserving a minimum revenue floor through guaranteed fixed components.
Marketing Activities
Our marketing strategy for aeronautical services is focused on participation in industry conferences organized by public and private organizations, including the International Air Transport Association, as well as annual route development conferences such as “Routes Americas” and “Routes World,” organized by United Business Media, Fitur: Feria Internacional de Turismo, the premier global tourism trade fair held annually in Madrid, Spain and Tianguis Turistico, the most relevant event in Mexico's for tourism sector. These conferences provide a forum for airlines and airport operators to exchange information regarding route development and changes in flight operations. In addition, we conduct one-to-one meetings with domestic and international airlines to discuss route opportunities, market performance, and network development initiatives. In 2025, 70 new routes were opened to and from our airports, compared to 81 new routes during 2023 and 62 during 2024. Our airport marketing department also collaborates with airline marketing consultants to obtain market intelligence, traffic data, and analytical tools to support the execution of our network expansion strategy.
Recognition of Revenues from Improvements to Concession Assets
We recognize revenues and the associated costs related to improvements to concession assets that we are contractually obligated to perform. These obligations are established under the Master Development Programs applicable to our Mexican airports and under the Capital Development Program applicable to our Jamaican airports. The revenues recognized represent the fair value of the exchange between us and the respective governments in connection with such improvements. Under the concession agreements, we construct or provide improvements to airport infrastructure in accordance with the applicable Master Development Programs and the Capital Development Program. In exchange, the governments grant us the right to obtain economic benefits from providing services using those assets, which are recognized as intangible assets. We have determined that our obligations under the Master Development Programs and the Capital Development Program constitute a revenue-earning activity, as all expenditures required to fulfill these obligations are recoverable through the maximum tariffs and regulated charges applicable to our airport services. Accordingly, both revenue and the corresponding expense are recognized in profit or loss as the related expenditures are incurred. The cost of additions and improvements to concession assets is measured based on the actual costs incurred in executing such works, in accordance with the investment requirements set forth in the applicable development programs. We engage third parties through bidding processes to carry out the construction of these assets. Revenues recognized in connection with these construction activities are equal to the costs incurred, as we do not earn a profit margin from such services, and the amounts paid reflect market value. As a result, revenues recognized from improvements to concession assets do not have a net cash impact on our results and are not directly related to passenger traffic, which is the main driver of our operating revenues. See “Item 5, Operating and Financial Review and Prospects – Critical Accounting Policies.”
Our Mexican Airports
In 2025, our Mexican airports handled 57.4 million terminal passengers. Guadalajara International Airport and Tijuana International Airport, which serve major metropolitan areas, accounted for 54.6% of our Mexican airports’ total terminal passenger traffic. Puerto Vallarta International Airport and Los Cabos International Airport, which primarily serve leisure and tourist destinations, accounted for 25.2% of our Mexican airports’ total terminal passenger traffic in 2025. Guanajuato International Airport, which serves a mid-sized city, accounted for 5.8% of our Mexican airports’ total terminal passenger traffic in 2025.
All of our Mexican airports are designated as international airports under Mexican law. Accordingly, they are equipped to handle international flights and maintain customs and immigration facilities operated by the Mexican government.

Guadalajara International Airport
Guadalajara International Airport is our largest Mexican airport in terms of passenger traffic, air traffic movements, and aeronautical and non-aeronautical revenues. According to SICT, it was the third busiest airport in Mexico in 2025 in terms of commercial passenger traffic, handling 18.7 million terminal passengers and accounting for approximately 32.6% of total terminal passenger traffic across our Mexican airports. Approximately 68.1% of the terminal passengers were domestic passengers and 31.9% were international passengers. A significant portion of international passengers consists of Mexicans nationals living in the United States visiting Guadalajara. The airport also serves a substantial number of business travelers. Giving its predominantly domestic passenger base, passenger traffic and operating results are influenced by Mexican economic conditions.
The airport is located approximately 20 kilometers from the city of Guadalajara, which has a metropolitan population of approximately 5.3 million. Guadalajara is Mexico’s second-largest city by population and the capital of the state of Jalisco, the country’s second-largest state by population. The city is a major hub for ground and air transportation and a key center for agricultural commerce and manufacturing. Jalisco plays an important role in Mexico’s maquiladora industry, particularly in electronics, computer equipment, and apparel sectors.
A total of 14 airlines operate at Guadalajara International Airport. The principal domestic airlines are Volaris, Viva, and Aeromexico, while the main international carriers include American Airlines, Alaska Airlines, United Airlines, and Delta Airlines. The airport serves 63 destinations, with Mexico City, Tijuana, Monterrey, Los Angeles, and Cancun, among the most frequently served routes. The airport operates 24 hours a day.
Guadalajara International Airport currently operates two parallel runways. One runway is 4,005 meters in length and includes a full parallel taxiway, while the second runway measures 3,583 meters in length, with a separation of 270 meters between centerlines. The second runway (11L-29R), which was completed and certified in 2024, is fully operational and increased the airport’s capacity to approximately 52 air traffic movements per hour. The airport is also equipped with an Instrument Landing System (“ILS”) CAT I to support operations under adverse weather conditions.
In addition to passenger operations, the airport also supports air cargo activity. In 2025, Guadalajara International Airport handled approximately 183.4 thousand metric tons of cargo.
At Guadalajara Airport, we commenced the construction of Terminal Building T2, which is expected to have approximately 87,000 square meters of floor area. Upon completion, the new facility is expected to double the airport’s existing terminal capacity and will include seven contact boarding gates equipped with passenger boarding bridges, eight walk-boarding contact gates, and four remote boarding gates served by passenger buses. Construction is currently scheduled for completion in the fourth quarter of 2028.
The terminal has been designed in accordance with energy-efficient and sustainable building standards, incorporating features such as optimized natural daylight, thermal and acoustic insulation, energy-efficient mechanical systems, on-site solar energy generation, rainwater harvesting, and water treatment and reuse systems for sanitary services. The facility is being developed with the objective of obtaining LEED Gold certification and will be supported by a fully integrated Building Management System (BMS) to optimize operational efficiency, infrastructure monitoring, and energy management.
The terminal will be developed across multiple operational levels with vertically separated passenger flows, with the upper level dedicated to departing passengers and the lower level dedicated to arriving passengers. Additional technical and service levels will support airport operations, including baggage handling systems, maintenance functions, and operational logistics areas.
The T2 development also includes the construction of a new commercial aircraft apron and associated taxiway infrastructure. The apron will provide 18 concrete aircraft parking positions equipped with a dedicated aircraft fueling hydrant system. The taxiway system will consist of a primary taxiway and two access taxiways connecting the new apron to the existing airside infrastructure. Completion of the apron and taxiway works is expected in the second half of 2028.
On the landside, the project includes the development of a new roadway system that will be independent from, but interconnected with, the existing Terminal 1 roadway network, providing additional operational redundancy and improved traffic distribution. This system will include approximately 7 kilometers of concrete road infrastructure, as well as an elevated viaduct of approximately 1.5 kilometers in front of Terminal Building T2, designed to separate departing and arriving passenger vehicle flows by level.
To enhance airport accessibility and connectivity with the Guadalajara Metropolitan Area, construction has also commenced on an approximately 6-kilometer access road connecting the airport to Avenida Adolf Horn.

Revenues from Viva and the passengers they moved through our airports were Ps.2,626.4 million, Ps.2,915.2 million, and Ps.3,660.1 million in 2023, 2024, and 2025, respectively. Of these, Ps.2,620.2 million, Ps.2,740.7 million, and Ps.3,456.2 million, respectively, were paid to the airports in the form of passenger charges. Such passenger charges represented 10.3%, 10.2%, and 10.6% respectively, of the sum of our aeronautical and non-aeronautical revenues for 2023, 2024, and 2025. Revenues from Aeromexico and the passengers it moved through our airports were Ps.1,665.1 million, Ps.1,718.6 million, and Ps.1,967.6 million during 2023, 2024, and 2025, respectively, of which Ps.1,637.2 million, Ps.1,718.6 million, Ps.1,757.5 million respectively, were paid to the airports for the passengers they moved in the form of passenger charges, representing 6.4%, 5.7%, 5.4% respectively, of the sum of our aeronautical and non-aeronautical revenues for 2023, 2024, and 2025.
In 2023, revenues from American Airlines and the passengers it moved through the Montego Bay airport totaled Ps.388.0 million, of which Ps.281.1 million was paid to MBJA as passenger charges. In 2024, revenues from American Airlines and the passengers it moved through the Montego Bay airport totaled Ps.274.1 million, of which Ps.251.4 million was paid to MBJA as passenger charges. In 2025, revenues from American Airlines and the passengers it moved through the Montego Bay airport totaled Ps.362.9 million, of which Ps.287.5 million was paid to MBJA as passenger charges. In 2023, 2024, and 2025, revenues from American Airlines and its passengers represented 13.8%, 10.1%, and 13.7%, respectively, of the sum of aeronautical and non-aeronautical revenues for the Montego Bay airport. However, passenger charges from American Airlines do not represent a significant portion of our total revenues across all airports. In 2023, 2024, and 2025, passenger charges collected by American Airlines at MBJA accounted for 1.2%, 0.9%, and 1.1%, respectively, of total revenues at our airports (1.5%, 1.0%, and 1.3%, respectively, of the sum of aeronautical and non-aeronautical revenues generated in our airports in 2023, 2024, and 2025).
In 2023, revenues from JetBlue Airways Corporation and the passengers it moved through Kingston airport totaled Ps.305.1 million, of which Ps.166.2 million was paid to NMIA as passenger charges. In 2024, revenues from JetBlue Airways Corporation and the passengers it moved through Kingston airport totaled Ps.328.2 million, of which Ps.181.1 million was paid to NMIA as passenger charges. In 2025, revenues from JetBlue Airways Corporation and the passengers it moved through Kingston airport totaled Ps.379.1 million, of which Ps.325.1 million was paid to NMIA as passenger charges. In 2023, 2024, and 2025, revenues from JetBlue Airways Corporation and its passengers represented 25.6%, 24.9%, and 25.4%, respectively, of the sum of aeronautical and non-aeronautical revenues for Kingston airport. However, passenger charges from JetBlue Airways Corporation do not represent a significant portion of our total revenues across all our airports.
In addition to passenger charges (revenues generated by the services provided by airports to passengers), we also earn revenues from aircraft landing, parking charges, and the leasing of space to these airlines.
Complementary services customers
Our principal complementary services clients are our two principal providers of baggage handling services: Menzies Aviation, S.A. de C.V., and Aveespress, S.A. de C.V., which provided Ps.101.8 million and Ps.48.2 million, respectively, in the form of access fees in 2025. Our primary catering clients are Aerococina, S.A. de C.V. and Gate Gourmet & Maasa México, S. de R.L. de C.V., which respectively provided Ps.35.8 million and Ps.10.9 million, respectively, of revenues in the form of access fees in 2025.
Principal Non-Aeronautical Services Customers
As of December 31, 2025, we have signed approximately 1,341 contracts – which is 1.9% more than the 1,316 contracts we had as of December 31, 2024. These contracts were executed with commercial services providers in our Mexican airports, such as retail store operators, duty-free store operators, food and beverage providers, timeshare developers, financial services providers, car rental companies, telecommunications providers, VIP lounges, advertising, travel agencies, tourist information, promotion services, ground transportation, and cargo. The increase in the number of contracts is due to the expansion of commercial areas at our Mexican airports and new business lines.
Our largest commercial customers in terms of revenues paid to us were Priority Pass, Inc. (VIP Lounge; Ps.598.2 million in 2025, Ps.467.5 million in 2024, Ps.387.2 million in 2023; Dufry México, S.A. de C.V. (duty-free stores; Ps.436.1 million in 2025, Ps.398.0 million in 2024, and Ps.402.4 million in 2023), Aerocomidas, S.A. de C.V. (food and beverages; Ps.481.2 million in 2025, Ps.257.6 million in 2024, and Ps.327.3 million in 2023), and Alquiladora de Vehículos Automotores, S.A. de C.V. (car rental; Ps.202.8 million in 2025, Ps.169.6 million in 2024, and Ps.170.6 million in 2023). In Jamaica, MBJA’s biggest commercial customers in terms of revenues paid to MBJA were Dufry Jamaica Limited (duty-free; U.S.$14.0 million in 2025, U.S.$15.0 million in 2024, and U.S.$15.8 million in 2023), VIP Attractions Limited (passenger lounge; U.S.$3.1 million in 2025, U.S.$5.3 million in 2024, and U.S.$4.1 million in 2023) and Express Catering (food and beverages; U.S.$4.7 million in 2025, U.S.$4.6 million in 2024, and U.S.$4.2 million in 2023). NMIA’s most significant commercial customers in terms of revenues paid to NMIA were TM Traders Limited (duty-free; U.S.$3.1 million in 2025, U.S.$3.0 million in 2024, and U.S.$3.2 million in 2023), Two Hampers and A Mule Limited (Retail; U.S.$0.7 million in 2025, U.S.$0.7 million in 2024, and U.S.$0.7 million in 2023) and Island Car Rental Limited (car rental; U.S.$0.7 million in 2025, U.S.$0.6 million in 2024, and U.S.$0.7 million in 2023).
Seasonality
Our business is subject to seasonal fluctuations. In general, demand for air travel is typically higher during the summer months and during the winter holiday season. This is especially true in international markets because there is more vacation travel during these periods. Our results of operations generally reflect this seasonality but have also been impacted by numerous other factors that are not strictly seasonal, including economic conditions, war or threat of war, terrorism or threat of terrorism, weather, air traffic control delays, health crises, and general economic conditions, as well as the other factors discussed above. As a result, our quarterly operations results are not necessarily indicative of the results of the entire year. In addition, historical results of operations do not necessarily indicate future results of operations.
Competition
Excluding our airports servicing tourist destinations, our airports generally are natural monopolies in their geographical areas and typically do not face significant competition. However, the Mexican and Jamaican governments could grant additional concessions to operate existing government-managed airports, authorize the construction of airports, or allow existing privately held domestic airports to become international airports and permit them to receive regular domestic and international flights, all of which could lead to increased competition for our airports.
For instance, Los Cabos airport may experience increased competition from a small private airport near Cabo San Lucas. On November 4, 2009, this airport received authorization from the SICT to operate regular commercial routes for domestic and international flights. Consequently, we implemented commercial strategies to improve our level of service. This will ensure we remain the preferred airport option for airlines serving the San Jose del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas corridor. Also, to better serve the private aviation market, in 2021, we began remodeling our state-of-the-art Fixed Base of Operations at the Los Cabos airport to allow us to increase our capacity further, and we redesigned our fee structure to make our service more attractive.
ASA currently operates seven small airports in Mexico’s Pacific and Central regions. We believe these airports collectively account for only a tiny fraction of the passenger traffic in these regions.
In January 2019, the Mexican government announced that it would seek to alleviate congestion at the existing Mexico City International Airport by (i) converting a military air force base located in San Lucia, approximately 40 kilometers (24.9 miles) outside of Mexico City, into a commercial airport and (ii) expanding the Toluca International Airport, which is approximately 60 kilometers (37.3 miles) outside of Mexico City. The Santa Lucia airport began operations in March 2022. There is still uncertainty about the project’s impact on the existing Mexico City International Airport. The timing and capacity expansion of the airport may impact our operations in the future.
During November and December 2023, the SICT assigned 11 concessions for an indefinite term to a newly created state-owned company called Grupo Aeroportuario, Ferroviario, de Servicios Auxiliares y Conexos Olmeca-Maya-Mexica, S.A. de C.V., which is operated by the Mexican Ministry of Defense (Secretaría de la Defensa Nacional - SEDENA). Such assignments include the right to manage, operate, use, and build airports in the states of Sonora, Nuevo León, Tamaulipas, San Luis Potosí, Michoacán, Puebla, Oaxaca, Chiapas, Campeche and Quintana Roo.
In recent years, the Jamaican government has discussed plans to manage commercial passenger traffic in a third international airport, Ian Fleming International Airport, which is in Boscobel, St. Mary, near the resort town of Ocho Rios, besides building a fourth international airport in Jamaica, most likely on the southern coast at Vernamfield, to meet long-term requirements for the growth of air transport. For more information about airport competition, see “Item 3, Key Information – Risk Factors – Risks Related to the Regulation of our Business – The Mexican and Jamaican governments could grant new concessions that compete with our airports.”
The relative attractiveness of the locations we serve depends on many factors, some of which are beyond our control. These factors include the general state of the Mexican economy and the attractiveness of other commercial and industrial centers in Mexico. Due to the nearshoring trend, this may affect the attractiveness of Guadalajara, Tijuana, and other growing industrial centers in our group, such as Hermosillo, Leon, Aguascalientes, and Mexicali.
Because our Puerto Vallarta, Los Cabos, La Paz, Manzanillo, and Montego Bay airports are substantially dependent on tourism, these airports face competition from competing tourist destinations. The main competitors to these airports are those serving vacation destinations in Mexico, such as Acapulco and Cancun, and abroad. These destinations include Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Florida, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, other Caribbean islands, and Central America. In addition, concerning Puerto Vallarta, Los Cabos, La Paz, Manzanillo, and Montego Bay, factors beyond our control include promotional activities and pricing policies of hotel and resort operators, weather conditions, natural disasters (such as hurricanes and earthquakes), security concerns, health crises and the development of new resorts that may be considered more attractive. There can be no assurance that the locations we serve will continue to attract the same level of passenger traffic in the future.
Corporate Social Responsibility
Sustainability and Environmental Responsibility
Environmental Management in Mexico
We maintain an Integrated Management System based on the requirements of ISO 9001 and 14001:2015 (quality and environment) standards, which provide a benchmark for best practices and allow us to measure environmental performance and efficiency. This system has been implemented and is certified in all our Mexican airports.
Additionally, our Master Development Programs included measures prioritizing the reduction of our airports’ environmental impacts through (i) wastewater and sewage separation, (ii) improvements to residual water treatment plants, and (iii) storage of hazardous and other special wastes. In 2023, 2024, and 2025, we invested Ps.189.0 million, Ps.107.9 million, and Ps.132.2 million, respectively, in these projects.
Since 2015, we established the following objectives for our environmental programs: (i) to reduce the consumption of water per passenger, (ii) to increase the use of treated residual water, (iii) to reduce our GHG emissions, (iv) reduce scope 1 GHG emissions, and (v) reduce waste disposed of in landfills per passenger and increase recycling percentages.
The following table sets forth certain performance indicators tracked by our environmental management systems.

Environmental management in Jamaica
Environmental Management by MBJA
To ensure continuous improvement in environmental performance and to meet the requirements outlined in the MBJA Concession Agreement and the International Finance Corporation (“IFC”) Performance Standards, MBJA has established an Environmental Management Plan (“EMP”).
The EMP serves as a guide for business planning across various departments, airport operations, facilitating compliance with local regulations, IFC Performance Standards, and industry best practices. The EMP reflects MBJA’s commitment to incorporating environmental management measures into the airport’s planning, design, construction, and operational processes. The plan outlines specific actions to mitigate the environmental impacts of MBJA’s operations and includes management strategies for the storage of fuel and hazardous materials, stormwater run-off, groundwater issues, preexisting contaminated sites, solid waste, aviation noise, and wildlife hazards. The EMP is overseen by the Environment, Health and Safety Manager.
MBJ has a program for evaluation of its environmental performance through independent audits and assessments, implementing practical recommendations to ensure ongoing improvements in environmental performance and stewardship. The EMP was approved by the JCAA in 2017, with updates being made as needed, and continues to maintain this approval status.
In 2025, MBJ continued with actions undertook in 2024 to conform its environmental management program to ISO14001:2015 EMS standard and obtained certification from Perry Johnson Registrars Inc. Additionally, MBJ achieved Level 1 Airport’s Council International (ACI) Airport Carbon Accreditation in 2021, progressing to Level 2 in 2022, with this certification being maintained. As part of its COVID pandemic response, MBJ pursued and received ACI Airport Health Accreditation (AHA) in 2021, becoming the first Caribbean airport to do so.
Environmental Management by PACKAL
In 2023, PACKAL was integrated into GAP’s Integrated Management System (IMS) and underwent an external audit, resulting in certification that complies with the ISO9001:2015 and ISO14001:2015 standards. This certification was awarded in December 2023. As a result, PACKAL is now subject to GAP’s policies regarding environmental performance, legal compliance, continuous improvement, management review, and future integrated external audits.
In 2025, PACKAL achieved Airport Carbon Accreditation (ACA) Level 2, marking measurable reductions in carbon emissions and reinforcing its commitment to sustainability. During the year, the airport reduced overall energy consumption by 25% despite increased passenger traffic, managed a 15% rise in burnable international waste through its incinerator team, and achieved a 4% reduction in water use compared to the 2022–2024 average. Looking ahead, PACKAL is preparing to pursue ACA Level 3, supported by the Domestic Waste Recycling Project, which will introduce compostable and recyclable waste separation to foster a culture of recycling.
Solar energy
Since 2022, our Mexican airports have been installed 14 photovoltaic systems, generating approximately 11,277,142 kWh of solar energy, representing approximately 11.2% of the total energy consumption of these airports during that period.
At Montego Bay airport, a total installed solar generation capacity of approximately 3 MWH has been implemented since 2021, including an additional 2.0 MWH installed in 2024.
At Kingston airport, installation of a solar photovoltaic plant commenced in 2021, and electricity generation began in 2022.
Accreditations
All of our Mexican airports are enrolled in the “Environmental Quality” certification program administered by the Federal Officer for Environmental Protection (“PROFEPA”). Guanajuato, Morelia, and Puerto Vallarta airports currently hold the highest level of Environmental Performance certification. Aguascalientes, Hermosillo, and La Paz airports are in the process of renewing this certification level. Tijuana and Manzanillo airports hold Level 1 certification under the program.
In addition, all of our airports are registered under the Airport Carbon Accreditation (“ACA”) program from the Airports Council International (“ACI”). As of 2025, Aguascalientes airport renewed its ACA Level 3 (optimization). Puerto Vallarta, Guadalajara, La Paz, Guanajuato, Morelia, Mexicali, and Manzanillo are in the process of renewing their Level 3 accreditation. Hermosillo, Tijuana, and Los Mochis renewed their ACA Level 2 (reduction) accreditation, while Kingston and Montego Bay are in the process of renewing their Level 2 accreditation.
Employee Health and Safety
To guarantee occupational health and safety, as well as institutionalize the prevention of occupational hazards, we have begun to implement a self-administered program promoted by the Ministry of Labor and Social Welfare (Secretaría del Trabajo y Previsión Social), or “STPS,” and based on national and international standards and regulations, to ensure the operation of a safe and clean airport network in Mexico. The voluntary compliance program comprises three levels of recognition: (i) for compliance with health and safety regulations, (ii) for actions that promote continuous improvement in health and safety standards, and (iii) for successful management of health and safety standards. In this program, we have obtained the Level 3 certification for Guadalajara airport.
A key component of the voluntary compliance program is the Safety and Hygiene Commission, which we have established at each airport. These commissions conduct investigations and reviews of the work area, verifying the implementation of the voluntary compliance program and recommending additional improvements to create optimal working conditions. This depends on the airport’s needs. To accomplish our voluntary compliance program goals and to raise awareness among our workers, our workers also received a Safety and Hygiene course about the importance of preventing occupational hazards to mitigate accidents and occupational diseases, generate healthy environments, and comply with the health and safety regulations of the STPS.
Along with these commissions, we have also formed brigades to help minimize the impact and risk through evacuation and first aid plans. The reason for this is any natural phenomenon that could negatively affect the safety of our employees or operations.
In addition, as part of our company policies, we provide an annual general medical review for certain employees. As part of our philosophy of well-being and quality of life, we also allocate approximately Ps.28.9 million per year to organize cultural and sports activities, thus encouraging physical activity. Together, these measures help provide a suitable workplace for our employees, and the relevant safety tools and equipment to prevent accidents and diseases to the extent possible.
In 2020, due to the pandemic, we implemented a home office model to work remotely and preserve the health and safety of our employees. The home office model to work remotely continued with one day per week during 2023, 2024, and 2025. During 2025, the Company conducted several health campaigns that included basic medical check-ups, as well as vision and nutritional assessments.
Workplace Culture
Our policy is to provide equal employment opportunities to all qualified applicants and to maintain a work environment free from harassment and discrimination. We promote a workplace culture founded on respect, collaboration, and equal opportunity, where all employees are evaluated on the basis of their skills, qualifications, and individual performance.
In 2024, we expanded the scope of our workforce initiatives to address equal opportunity across multiple organizational areas, including recruitment, performance evaluation, and employee development. Our internal committee responsible for these matters supports initiatives aimed at ensuring that all employees have equal access to opportunities, consistent with applicable law.
Since 2009, we have been evaluated by Expansión Magazine as a “Super Company” in Mexico in relation to workplace culture and organizational climate. Since 2013, we have ranked among the top ten companies in Mexico in this publication’s annual workplace culture assessment. On May 4, 2021, the Ministry of Labor and Social Welfare recognized us as an “Empresa Responsable de Buenas Prácticas Laborales” (Responsible Company with Good Labor Practices). In 2024, we qualified for the national ranking and were again recognized among the Top 10 in the Western Region by the Great Place to Work Mexico Institute. In 2025, we obtained the Great Place to Work certification for the fourth consecutive year.
In 2023, we underwent an independent third-party evaluation of our workplace practices and compensation processes under international standards designed to promote equal pay and equal opportunity in the workplace. As a result, we obtained the international EDGE (Equity, Diversity and Gender Equality) certification at the “Assess” level.
With respect to labor relations, we maintain a policy of negotiating collective bargaining agreements and annual wage increases with unions in a manner intended to promote employee welfare, productivity and alignment between employee objectives and business goals. Compensation for non-union employees is reviewed periodically based on performance evaluations and achievement of individual and corporate objectives.
We provide training programs across all levels of the organization. Annual Training Plans are developed in coordination with each business area. During the second half of 2024, we implemented a Leadership Profile Program focused on strengthening managerial capabilities, soft skills and values aligned with our corporate culture. In 2025, we conducted 360-degree assessments for members of the leadership team to further develop managerial competencies.
At the end of 2024, we worked with senior management to formalize a succession planning framework designed to anticipate leadership transitions and support long-term organizational stability and development. This framework is intended to serve as a basis for extending succession planning to deputy directors and management positions.
We continue to evolve our organizational culture through internal initiatives aimed at strengthening collaboration, operational efficiency and productivity, while promoting employee well-being and work-life balance.
Our compensation and benefits packages are designed to remain competitive within the labor markets in the regions where we operate, contributing to employee retention.
Supply Chains and Sourcing
As part of our supplier bidding process, we include our code of ethics as part of the initial information package. We do this to ensure that our suppliers comply with our ethical standards. The terms and conditions of our contract with suppliers then include provisions designed to ensure that our suppliers comply with labor laws and regulations. This includes requirements to monitor legal and regulatory compliance in employer responsibilities and occupational health and safety.
In our supplier development program, we strategically select suppliers based on the contracting amounts, technical complexity of their work or impact on the quality of the service provided by us. Once the provider is selected, visits and face-to-face monitoring are carried out at its facilities to verify, among other things, that the supplier’s policies, guidelines, and processes comply with legal and regulatory requirements, as well as the management’s approach to staff development and the safety of the work environment. Once a contracted supplier has completed their work, we evaluate their performance to determine whether they should be invited to participate in future bids.
Community Initiatives and Philanthropic Efforts
GAP Foundation (Fundación GAP)
GAP Foundation is a non-profit organization established by GAP in May 2013 to improve social welfare in the communities surrounding our airports. The Foundation primarily focuses on education and also participates in other charitable initiatives. Its work is structured around two main pillars. The first, GAP Schools, provides high-quality education for children in disadvantaged communities near the Guadalajara and Los Cabos airports. The second, Community Centers, aims to support employees of the airport community and their families by providing access to formal education and vocational training. This second pillar seeks to reduce educational gaps by helping community members complete elementary, middle, and high school studies, as well as by offering technical courses to strengthen professional skills.
In September 2014, the first GAP School opened near the Guadalajara airport with an initial class of 60 first-grade students. A new grade has been each year. In 2016, a second school opened near the Los Cabos airport, also starting with 60 students. In 2018, a third school opened in the Guadalajara area with 60 students. In 2020, the first middle school opened to serve the inaugural generation from the first Guadalajara school, and in 2022, a second middle school opened in Los Cabos. In 2023, the first GAP High School began operations in Guadalajara with 45 students, with the academic program led by “Tecnológico de Monterrey”. In 2024, a third middle school began operations in Guadalajara. All GAP Schools are part of Red SER, a national association that manages schools serving underserved communities across Mexico and is inspired by KIPP Schools’ teaching methods.
In 2025, the first graduating class of students from GAP Los Cabos Middle School completed their studies. Through GAP Foundation, we awarded 24 scholarships to enable these students to continue their high school education at other private schools in the Los Cabos area.
By the end of 2025, the Foundation served a total of 1,526 students, including 1,036 students in Guadalajara and 490 students in Los Cabos, in addition to the 24 scholarship recipients attending private high schools in Los Cabos. All students receive psychological support and a balanced diet that includes breakfast and lunch. In addition, our four dining halls hold the “Distintivo H” certification, which recognizes compliance with food safety and nutritional quality standards.
Regarding Community Centers, the first four opened in 2019 at the Guadalajara, Los Cabos, Aguascalientes, and Puerto Vallarta airports. In 2021, eight additional centers opened in Tijuana, La Paz, Los Mochis, Hermosillo, Guanajuato, Mexicali, Morelia, and Manzanillo. These centers support airport community employees by offering education and training across four categories: Educational Lag, Aeronautics, Hospitality and Commercial, and Trade Workshops. In 2025, a total of 23,311 people were enrolled across all Community Centers, with 1,579 participating in formal education programs and 21,732 receiving training through more than 5,883 complementary courses.
The Foundation is overseen by a Board of Trustees chaired by Mrs. Diez-Barroso. Each year, the Board of Directors reviews the donation to the Foundation. For 2025, the Board approved a Ps.133.9 million donation, and over the past ten years, GAP has contributed approximately Ps.743.7 million. During 2025, we also received additional third-party donations and hosted, for the third time, a fundraising dinner. Total additional donations received during 2025 amounted to Ps.13.5 million.
Philanthropic Efforts
GAP has received the Socially Responsible Company Distinction from the Mexican Center for Philanthropy (Centro Mexicano para la Filantropía), or CEMEFI, for 17 consecutive years.
In 2025, Fundación GAP awarded the “Premio Emprendedor Social Coparmex Jalisco 2025” to Dizzy al Rescatering, in recognition of its social entrepreneurship business model. The company integrates its event catering services and restaurant operations with a strong social commitment, including the donation of food and resources to individuals in vulnerable situations, with a particular focus on supporting migrant shelters.
This award recognizes social entrepreneurs and includes a monetary prize, the amount of which varies annually. Finalists are reviewed and selected by a Coparmex committee based on the social impact of their initiatives, and Fundación GAP selects the annual recipient based on the potential to generate the greatest social impact.
Lastly, GAP provides scholarships for dependents of our employees. In 2023, 2024, and 2025, we invested Ps.3.9 million, Ps.4.5 million, and Ps.5.3 million, respectively, in these programs.
Sustainability and Regulatory Compliance Commitments
In 2022, we established a long-term sustainability framework structured around four operational areas: environmental stewardship, operational and competitive development, community engagement, and governance. This framework is designed to guide our management of environmental compliance, operational efficiency, and regulatory obligations across our airport network through 2030, with specific performance targets linked to our operating and financial objectives.
We are subject to environmental, social, and governance reporting obligations in Mexico, including under the amended CUE issued by the CNBV, which requires issuers to prepare sustainability reports following ISSB standards beginning with reports covering the 2025 fiscal year. Compliance with these and other applicable regulatory requirements is a key objective of our sustainability framework. Our approach to sustainability is grounded in managing financially material risks and opportunities arising from our operations, including environmental compliance, energy efficiency, water management, and occupational health and safety.
For information on our specific environmental performance metrics and programs, see “— Environmental Management in Mexico” and “Environmental Management in Jamaica” above.

The Mexican Airport Law’s stated intent is to promote the expansion, development and modernization of Mexico’s airport infrastructure by encouraging investment and competition.
Under the Mexican Airport Law, a concession granted by the SICT is required to operate, maintain and develop a public service airport in Mexico. A concession generally must be granted pursuant to a public bidding process, except for: (i) concessions granted to (a) entities considered part of “the federal public administration” as defined under Mexican law and (b) any private company the principal shareholder of which is a state or municipal government; (ii) concessions granted to operators of private airports (that have operated privately for five or more years) wishing to begin operating their facilities as public service airports and complying with certain requirements; and (iii) complementary concessions granted to existing concession holders that comply with certain requirements. Complementary concessions may be granted only under certain limited circumstances, such as where an existing concession holder can demonstrate, among other things, that the award of the complementary concession is necessary to satisfy passenger demand.
On June 29, 1998, the SICT granted twelve concessions to operate, maintain and develop the twelve principal airports in Mexico’s Pacific and Central regions to our subsidiaries. Because our subsidiaries were considered entities of the federal public administration at the time the concessions were granted, the concessions were awarded without a public bidding process. However, our privatization, through which our strategic shareholder acquired 15% of our capital stock, was conducted through a public bidding process. Each of our Mexican concessions was amended on November 15, 1999. This amendment was made in order to, among other things, incorporate each airport’s maximum rates and certain other terms as part of the concession.
On February 17, 2000, regulations under the Mexican Airport Law were issued. We believe we are currently complying with the material requirements of the Mexican Airport Law and its regulations. Non-compliance with these regulations could result in fines or other sanctions being assessed by the SICT and are among the violations that could result in the termination of a concession if they were to occur two or more times in a period of ten years.
The Mexican National Assets Law, among other things, establishes regulations relating to concessions granted with respect to property held in the public domain, including the airports that we operate. The Mexican National Assets Law requires concessionaires of real property held in the public domain and used for administrative or non-public purposes to pay a tax and establishes grounds for revocation of concessions for failure to pay applicable taxes, but does not specify which taxes must be paid, including whether certain taxes to municipalities must be paid by a concessionaire.
Under the Mexican Federal Duties Law, each of our subsidiary concession holders is required to pay the Mexican government a concession tax based on its gross annual revenues (excluding revenues from improvements to concession assets) from the use of public domain assets pursuant to the terms of its concession. This concession tax may be revised annually by the Mexican Congress. It was set at a rate of 5% until 2023 and, starting in January 2024, the applicable percentage is 9%. The Mexican concessions establish that any increase in this percentage can be included in the reference value of the next tariff review for the remaining period of the concession, to recover the amount paid and not included in the maximum current rates.
Mexican Airport Law and Civil Aviation Law
On November 8, 2017, changes to the Mexican Airport Law took effect, which modified various regulations, primarily impacting airlines. One of the changes contemplated is the payment of indemnification for passengers delayed for longer than two hours. The revised law further clarifies that payment will be made if the airport concessionaire or airline is at fault for the delay. As of the date hereof, there is no process in place to determine who is responsible for delays. See “Item 3, Key Information – Risk Factors – Risks Related to the Regulation of Our Business – We cannot predict how the laws and regulations governing our business will be applied.”
Recent Amendments to the Mexican Airport Law and the Mexican Civil Aviation Law
On May 3, 2023, the Mexican government published a decree amending the Mexican Airport Law and the Mexican Civil Aviation Law, introducing several changes such as (i) changing the administrative nature of the AFAC from a regulatory agency to a decentralized administrative entity (órgano administrativo desconcentrado) of the Ministry of Infrastructure, Communications, and Transportation; (ii) enhancing the regulatory and supervisory responsibilities of the AFAC over civil aviation matters, which were previously assigned to the SICT, including the issuance of technical and administrative regulations applicable to the master development programs; (iii) authorizing the Ministry of Infrastructure, Communications, and Transportation to grant, for an indefinite term, assignments to state-owned entities for the management,
operation, and, if applicable, construction of airports; (iv) mandating additional obligations for concessionaires to notify the AFAC about changes in the board of directors, amendments to the bylaws, or any change in the corporate structure of the concessionaire; (v) modifying certain causes for revocation of the concessions and establishing applicable sanctions for concessionaires not complying with flight schedules, timetables, among others; (vi) including a list of causes for revocation of permits granted to aerodromes; (vii) to enforce other concessionaires of civil aerodromes to allow the use and provide airport services to military aircraft for search and rescue activities, for providing support in case of disasters and emergencies, (viii) authorizing the SICT to grant assignments to state-owned entities for providing the service of national air transportation, and (ix) prohibiting cabotage practices of foreign airlines in Mexican territory.
Additionally, such amendments to the Mexican Airport Law (Ley de Aeropuertos) and the Mexican Civil Aviation Law (Ley de Aviación Civil) give the AFAC a greater authority over aviation matters, including, among others (i) granting the authorizations and permits established in the Mexican Airport Law, and deciding on their extension, suspension, amendment, termination or revocation, (ii) overseeing compliance with the terms and obligations arising from concessions, assignments, permits and authorizations and other technical-administrative provisions, (iii) issuing air traffic rules, and (iv) establishing the basis for the assignment of landing and take-off schedules of aircrafts in civilian aerodromes with high traffic.
Amendment to Rules for Tariff Regulation
On October 4, 2023, we received a notification from the AFAC, a decentralized entity of the SICT, informing its decision to unilaterally and without any prior communication with us to modify the terms of the rules for tariff regulation set forth in Annex 7 of the concession agreements dated June 29, 1998, as amended, in connection with the airports GAP operates in Mexico’s Pacific Region. Section 10.21 of the concession agreement provides that Annexes 1 through 5 and Annex 7 may be unilaterally amended by the SICT in accordance with applicable law and regulations. On October 19, 2023, AFAC notified us that the new rules have immediate application, however, the Master Development Plan and the current maximum tariffs (approved in the tariff review for the period 2020-2024) remained in place. The modification to the tariffs based on the new tariff base regulation was applied to tariffs starting on January 1, 2025.
The amendments to the rules for tariff regulation include, among others: (i) changes to the discount rate, from cost of capital to weighted average cost of capital, and clarifies some inputs of the formula which were not clear in previous rules; (ii) a claw-back provision related to the excess of real workload units over 3.0% of the workload unit projected in the tariff determination on consolidated basis; (iii) a re-estimation of the reference values of the airports to determine the joint maximum tariff of the period, based on the average traffic units of the last five years; and (iv) a determination of terminal value, taking into consideration the final year of the five-year projection of the ordinary review excluding non-recurring investments, projecting from year six to the end of the concession period.
As of the date of this report, we have completed the process for the tariff adjustments and MDP for 2025-2029 applying the new methodology with a positive result in terms of Maximum Tariffs and MDP, which was announced on August 27, 2024. Even though we obtained a positive outcome, we cannot guarantee that the AFAC or any other regulatory authority will refrain from further amending the terms of the tariff base regulation, which may potentially affect the maximum rates in the next ordinary review. Now, we can confirm that during the process for 2025-2029 period the new regulatory framework was respected.
Mexican Federal Duties Law
On November 13, 2023, the Mexican government published a decree amending the Mexican Federal Duties Law. As a result of such amendment, the concession fee that concession holders must pay for the use of federal airports, was increased from 5.0% to 9.0% of their gross annual revenues derived from such use. The amendment became effective on January 1, 2024.
Federal Economic Competition Commission
The Federal Economic Competition Law (Ley Federal de Competencia Económica), among other things, extinguished the former Federal Competition Commission and created the National Antitrust Commission (Comisión Nacional Antimonopolio), or “CNA,” as an autonomous agency to be the competition authority for all industries except telecommunications and broadcasting. The law grants broader powers to CNA, including the ability to regulate essential facilities, order the divestment of assets and eliminate barriers to competition. The law also sets forth significant changes in connection with mergers and anti-competitive behavior, increases liabilities and the number of fines that may be incurred for violations of the law, and limits the availability of legal defenses against the application of the law. If CNA determines that a specific service or product is an essential facility, it has the ability to regulate access conditions, prices, tariffs or technical conditions. This is for or in connection with the specific service or product. See “Item 3, Key Information – Risk Factors – Risks Related to the Regulation of Our Business – Changes to Mexican laws, regulations, and decrees applicable to us could have a material adverse impact on our operations.”
Role of the SICT
The SICT is the principal regulator of airports in Mexico and is authorized by the Mexican Regulations, mainly by the Mexican Airport Law to perform primarily the following functions:
•plan, formulate and establish the policies and programs for the development of the national airport system;
•construct, administer and operate airports and airport-related services for the public interest;
•grant, modify and revoke concessions for the operation of airports;
•establish air transit rules and rules regulating take-off and landing schedules through the Mexican Air Traffic Control Authority;
•take all necessary action to create an efficient, competitive and non-discriminatory market for airport-related services, and set forth the minimum operating conditions for airports;
•establish safety regulations;
•close airports entirely or partially when safety requirements are not being met;
•monitor airport facilities to determine their compliance with the Mexican Airport Law, other applicable laws and the terms of the concessions;
•maintain the Mexican aeronautical registry for registrations relating to airports;
•impose penalties for failure to observe and perform the rules under the Mexican Airport Law, the regulations thereunder and the concessions;
•approve any transaction or transactions that directly or indirectly may result in a change of control of a concession holder;
•approve the Master Development Programs prepared by each concession holder every five years;
•determine each airport’s maximum rates;
•approve any agreements entered into between a concession holder and a third party providing airport or complementary services at its airport; and
•perform any other function specified by the Mexican Airport Law.
In addition, under the Mexican Organic Law of the Federal Public Administration (Ley Orgánica de la Administración Pública Federal), the Mexican Airport Law and the Mexican Civil Aviation Law, the SICT is required to provide air traffic control, radio assistance and aeronautical communications at Mexico’s airports. The SICT offers these services through the Mexican Air Traffic Control Authority, which is a division of the SICT. Since 1978, the Mexican air traffic control authority has provided air traffic control for Mexico’s airports.
Mexican Airport Concessions
Scope of Concessions
We hold concessions granted to us by the Mexican government to operate, maintain and develop twelve airports in the Pacific and Central regions of Mexico in accordance with the Mexican Airport Law. As authorized under the Mexican Airport Law, each of the concessions is held by our subsidiaries for an initial 50-year term, each of which terms began on November 1, 1998. This initial term of each of our Mexican concessions may be renewed for one or more terms for up to an additional 50 years, subject to the concession holder’s acceptance of any new conditions imposed by the SICT and to its compliance with the terms of its concession. Each of the concessions held by our subsidiary concession holders allows the relevant concession holder, during the term of the concession, to: (i) operate, maintain and develop its airport and carry out any necessary construction in order to render airport, complementary and commercial services as provided under the Mexican Airport Law and the regulations thereunder; and (ii) use and develop the assets that comprise the airport that is the subject of the concession (consisting of the airport’s real estate and improvements but excluding assets used in connection with fuel supply and storage). These assets are government-owned assets, subject to the Mexican National Assets Law. Upon expiration of a concession, these assets, together with any improvements thereto, automatically revert to the Mexican government.
Concession holders are required to provide airport security, which must include contingent and emergency plans in accordance with the regulations under the Mexican Airport Law. Security regulations must be implemented in accordance with the requirements set forth in the National Program for Airport Security (Plan Nacional de Seguridad Aeroportuaria). In addition, the regulations pertaining to the Mexican Airport Law specify that an airport concession holder is responsible for inspecting passengers and their carry-on baggage before they reach the departure gates, while the transporting airline is responsible for the inspection of checked baggage and cargo. If public order or national security is endangered, the proper federal authorities are authorized to act to protect the safety of aircraft, passengers, cargo, mail, installations and equipment.
The shares of a concession holder and the rights under a concession may be subject to a lien only with the approval of the SICT. No agreement documenting liens approved by the SICT may allow the beneficiary of a pledge to become a concession holder under any circumstances.
A concession holder may not assign any of its rights or obligations under its concession without the authorization of the SICT. The SICT is authorized to consent to an assignment only if the proposed assignee satisfies the requirements to be a concession holder under the Mexican Airport Law, undertakes to comply with the obligations under the relevant concession and agrees to any other conditions that the SICT may require.
General Obligations of Concession Holders
The concessions impose certain obligations on the concession holders, including, among others: (i) the obligation to pay the concession tax described above; (ii) the obligation to deliver concession services in a continuous, public and non-discriminatory manner; (iii) the obligation to maintain the airports in proper working condition; and (iv) the obligation to make investments with respect to the infrastructure and equipment in accordance with the Master Development Programs and the concessions.
Each concession holder and any third-party providing services at an airport is required to carry insurance in specified amounts and covering specified risks, such as damage to persons and property at the airport, in each case as specified by the SICT. To date, the SICT has not specified the required amounts of insurance. We may be required to obtain additional insurance once these amounts are established. We and our subsidiary concession holders are jointly and severally liable to the SICT for the performance of all obligations under the concessions held by our subsidiaries. Each of our subsidiary concession holders is responsible for the performance of the obligations set forth in its concession and in the Master Development Programs, including the obligations arising from third-party contracts, as well as for any damages to Mexican government-owned assets that they use and to third-party airport users. In the event of a breach of the concession held by any one of our subsidiaries, the SICT is entitled to revoke the concession held by all of our subsidiaries.
Classification of Services Provided at Airports
The Mexican Airport Law and the regulations thereunder classify the services that may be rendered at an airport into the following three categories:
•Airport Services. Airport services may be rendered only by the holder of a concession or a third party that has entered into an agreement with the concession holder. This agreement is to provide such services. These services include the following:
•the use of airport runways, taxiways and aprons for landing, aircraft parking and departure;
•the use of hangars, passenger walkways, airport buses and car parking facilities;
•the provision of airport security services, rescue and firefighting services, ground traffic control, lighting and visual aids;
•the general use of terminal space and other infrastructure by aircraft, passengers and cargo; and
•the provision of access to an airport to third parties providing complementary services (as defined in the Mexican Airport Law) and third parties providing permanent ground transportation services (such as taxis).
•Complementary Services. Complementary services may be rendered by an airline, by the airport operator or by a third party under agreements with airlines and the airport operator. These services include ramp and handling services, passenger check-in, aircraft security, catering, cleaning, maintenance, repair and fuel supply and related activities that provide support to air carriers.
•Commercial Services. Commercial services are services that are not considered essential to the operation of an airport or aircraft. The list includes, among others, retailers, restaurants, banks and advertisers to whom we lease space.
A third party providing complementary or commercial services to an airport is required to do so only pursuant to a written agreement with the relevant concession holder. On November 1, 2012, we entered into an agreement with a third party with respect to the provision of airbus and passenger walkway services at all of our airports. Accordingly, we no longer provide these services directly. As of the date of this
report, this is the only agreement with a third party regarding the provision of regulated services. All agreements relating to airport or complementary services are required to be approved by the SICT. The Mexican Airport Law provides that the concession holder is jointly liable with these third parties for compliance with the terms of the relevant concession with respect to the services provided by such third parties. All third-party service providers are required to be corporations incorporated under Mexican law.
Until 2024, the operation of passenger boarding bridges and apron buses at the airport was carried out by an independent third party that maintained direct commercial relationships with the airlines. As a result, we only recognized revenues related to the recovery of costs associated with the energy consumption of passenger boarding bridges, as well as a per-unit fee for the use of passenger boarding bridges and apron buses. As of 2025, we assumed the direct management of passenger boarding bridges and apron bus services at the airports.
Airport and complementary services are required to be provided to all users in a uniform and regular manner, without discrimination as to quality, access or price. Concession holders are required to provide airport and complementary services on a priority basis to military aircraft, disaster support aircraft and aircraft experiencing emergencies. Airport and complementary services are required to be provided at no cost to military aircraft and aircraft performing national security activities. The concession holders have no and do not provide complementary services, as these services are provided by third parties.
In the event of force majeure, the SICT may impose additional regulations governing the provision of services at airports, but only to the extent necessary to address the force majeure event. The Mexican Airport Law allows the airport administrator appointed by a concession holder to suspend the provision of airport services in the event of force majeure. See “Item 3, Key Information – Risk Factors – Risks Related to the Regulation of Our Business – The Mexican government may terminate or re-acquire our Mexican concessions under various circumstances, some of which are beyond our control.”
A concession holder is also required to take all necessary measures to create a competitive market for complementary services. A concession holder may not limit the number of providers of complementary services at its airport, except in instances where space, efficiency and/or safety considerations warrant such limitations. If a concession holder denies entry to any complementary service provider for reasons other than the above, such service provider may file a complaint with the SICT. The SICT shall determine within 60 days of the filing of the complaint whether entry of the service provider into the airport shall be authorized.
Master Development Programs
Each concession holder is required to submit to the SICT a Master Development Program describing, among other things, the concession holder’s construction and maintenance plans.
Each Master Development Program must be updated every five years and resubmitted for approval to the SICT. Upon such approval, the Master Development Program is deemed a part of the relevant concession. Any major construction, renovation, or expansion of an airport may only be made with the approval of the SICT, according to a concession holder’s Master Development Program.
Information required to be presented in the Master Development Programs includes:
•airport growth and development expectations;
•fifteen-year projections for air traffic demand (including passenger, cargo, and operations);
•construction, conservation, maintenance, expansion, and modernization programs for infrastructure, facilities, and equipment;
•a binding five-year detailed investment program and planned major investments for the following ten years;
•descriptive airport plans specifying the distinct uses for the corresponding airport areas;
•any financing sources; and
•environmental protection measures.
Each concession provides for 24 months for the preparation and submission of the concession holder’s Master Development Program and requires the concession holder to engage recognized independent consultants to conduct polls among airport users concerning current and expected quality standards to prepare air traffic projections and assess investment requirements. The concession holder must submit a draft of the Master Development Program to an operations committee (Comité de Operación y Horarios), composed of each of the airport’s principal users, for their review and comments six months prior to its submission for approval to the SICT. Further, the concession holder must submit, six months prior to the expiration of the five-year term, the new Master Development Program to the SICT. The SICT may request additional information or clarification as well as seek further comments from airport users. The Ministry of Defense (Secretaría de Defensa Nacional) may also comment on the Master Development Programs.
Any major construction project, renovation or expansion related to an airport can only be done pursuant to the Master Development Program of the concession holder or with the approval of the SICT. We are required to spend the full amounts set forth in each investment program under our Master Development Programs.
Changes to a Master Development Program, including the related investment program, require the approval of the SICT. This is except for emergency repairs and minor works that do not adversely affect an airport’s operations.
Once capital expenditures related to the Master Development Programs are established, they are adjusted annually according to Mexican PPI’s construction price index increases. The concessionaire is obligated to meet the adjusted amounts.
On August 27, 2024, the SICT approved new maximum tariffs and Master Development Programs for the five-year period from 2025-2029 for each of our Mexican airports. The combined maximum tariffs are expressed in workload units for each airport and were determined by the SICT based on traffic projections, operating costs, and capital investments included in the Master Development Programs, as well as in accordance with pre-determined parameters for the calculation of the maximum tariff outlined in the concession for each airport.
We allocated 81.9% of our committed investments for the 2025-2029 period to our Guadalajara, Tijuana, Los Cabos, and Puerto Vallarta airports. The investments in the new Master Development Programs for the 2025-2029 period represent the sixth investment period within the terms of our concessions and represent an increase of 88.5% compared to the 2020-2024 period. These committed investments reflect the highest investment amounts committed to date.
Our Master Development Programs are approved by the SICT for periods of five years, as stated in our Mexican concessions. We are required to comply with the five-year period investment obligations under the Master Development Programs, and the SICT may apply sanctions if we do not so comply. Recently, the SICT reviewed our compliance on an annual basis. The SICT may choose to do this revision officially and apply sanctions annually if it determines that we have failed in our investment obligations. In March 2024, 2025, and 2026, the SCT certified our compliance with our Master Development Programs through 2023, 2024, and 2025, respectively. For a description of the latest amendment to the rules for tariff regulation effective as of October 2023, see “Item 4, Information on the Company – Regulatory Framework – Sources of Mexican Regulation.”
Mexican Aeronautical Services Regulation
The Mexican Airport Law directs the SICT to establish price regulations for services without a competitive market, as determined by the Mexican Antitrust Commission. In 1999, the Mexican Antitrust Commission ruled that competitive markets generally do not exist for airport services and airport access provided to third parties rendering complementary services. This ruling authorized the SICT to establish regulations governing the prices that may be charged for airport services. In addition, access fees may be charged to third parties rendering complementary services at our airports. On November 15, 1999, a revised regulation, the Rules for Tariff Regulation (Regulación Tarifaria), was incorporated into the terms of each of our Mexican concessions, which was amended on October 19, 2023. This regulation provides a framework for the SICT to set five-year maximum rates. See “Item 3, Key Information – Risk Factors – Risks Related to the Regulation of Our Business – Changes to Mexican laws, regulations and decrees applicable to us could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations.” For a description of the latest amendment to the rules for tariff regulation effective as of October 2023, see “Item 4, Information on the Company – Regulatory Framework – Sources of Mexican Regulation.”
Regulated Revenues
The majority of our revenues are derived from providing aeronautical services, which generally are related to the use of airport facilities by airlines and passengers and principally consist of a fee for each departing passenger, aircraft landing fees based on an aircraft’s weight and arrival time, an aircraft parking fee, a fee for the transfer of passengers from an aircraft to the terminal building, a security charge for each
departing passenger and the leasing of space to, and collection of access fees from, third parties that provide complementary services at our airports.
All our revenues from aeronautical services are subject to a price regulation system established by the SICT. Under this price regulation system, the SICT establishes a maximum rate for each airport every year for a five-year period. The maximum rate is the maximum amount of revenue per workload unit earned at an airport each year from regulated revenue sources. Under this regulation, a workload unit is equivalent to one passenger, or 100 kilograms (220 pounds) of cargo, including those transported in passenger airplanes. The combined maximum tariffs are expressed in workload units for each airport and were determined based on (i) projected workload units, (ii) capital investments, and (iii) the operating expenses authorized for the five-year period in the Master Development Programs.
The maximum tariffs for the 2025-2029 five-year period are expressed in constant pesos as of December 31, 2023. They are adjusted by the inflation rate according to the Mexican PPI, excluding petroleum, and by the efficiency factor at the end of any given year. Since the inflation rate for each applicable year, as measured in terms of the variation of the Mexican PPI, excluding petroleum, is not known at the beginning of the application of the maximum tariffs negotiated with the Mexican Directorate General of Civil Aviation, the adjustment for inflation is not included in the maximum rates set at the beginning of each five-year period. These adjusted tariffs will be applicable once they are published.
We can set the specific prices for each aeronautical service every six months (or more frequently if accumulated inflation since the last adjustment exceeds 5%) as long as the combined revenues from regulated services at an airport do not exceed the maximum rate per workload unit at that airport. Each year, the SICT certifies that our regulated revenues divided by workload units are equal to or below the established maximum rate for the period. The SICT has reviewed our maximum rates and certified that we did not collect revenues in excess of the permitted level in 2022, 2023, and 2024. The review for 2025 will take place during the second quarter of 2026. Since our aggregate revenues resulting from regulated services are not otherwise restricted, passenger and cargo traffic increases permit greater revenues overall within each five-year interval for which maximum rates are established. However, according to the Rules for Tariff Regulation effective since October 19, 2023, there is a claw-back provision related to the excess of workload units over 3.0% of the workload unit projected in the tariff determination on a consolidated basis beginning in the 2025-2029 period.
In 2023, 2024, and 2025, approximately 56.5%, 55.7%, and 54.1%, respectively, of our Mexican airports’ total revenues were earned from aeronautical services subject to price regulation under our maximum rates (76.2%, 70.1%, and 69.7%, respectively, of the sum of aeronautical and non-aeronautical revenues).
Our revenues from non-aeronautical services, including those we earn from most commercial activities in our terminals, are not regulated under our maximum-rate price regulation system and are therefore not subject to a ceiling under any regulation. For a description of how we classify our revenues into aeronautical and non-aeronautical services, see “Item 5, Operating and Financial Review and Prospects – Overview – Classification of Revenues.”
Maximum Rates
Each airport’s maximum rate is determined by the SICT based on a general framework established in our Mexican concessions. This framework reflects, among other factors, projections of an airport’s revenues, operating costs and capital expenditures, as well as the estimated cost of capital related to regulated services. It also includes projected annual efficiency adjustments determined by the SICT. The schedule of maximum rates for each airport is established every five years.
Maximum Rates for 2025 through 2029
On August 27, 2024, the SICT set new airport maximum rates for the five-year period from January 1, 2025, through December 31, 2029, expressed in constant pesos as of December 31, 2023. These maximum rates are subject to adjustment only as described above or under the limited circumstances described below under “Special Adjustments to Maximum Rates.” See “Item 3, Key Information – Risk Factors – Risks Related to the Regulation of Our Business – We provide a public service regulated by the governments of Mexico and Jamaica, and our flexibility in managing our aeronautical activities is limited by the regulatory environments in which we operate.” The following table sets forth the maximum rates for each of our airports under the Master Development Programs that went into effect as of January 1, 2025:

(1)Expressed in constant pesos as of December 31, 2023, and applying the efficiency factor described below under “Methodology for Determining Future Maximum Rates.”
Methodology for Determining Future Maximum Rates
The rules for tariff regulation, as amended, provide that each airport’s annual maximum rates are to be determined at five-year intervals based on the following variables:
•Projections for the next fifteen years of workload units, as well as operating costs and expenses related to services subject to price regulation and pre-tax earnings from services subject to price regulation for the next 5 years. The concessions provide that projections for workload units are to be derived from the terms of the relevant concession holder’s Master Development Program for the following fifteen years;
•Projections for the following fifteen years of capital expenditures related to regulated services, based on air traffic forecasts and quality standards for services to be derived from the Master Development Programs;
•Reference values, which initially were established in the concessions and are designed to reflect the net present value of the regulated revenues minus the corresponding regulated operating costs and expenses (excluding amortization and depreciation), and capital expenditures related to the provision of regulated services plus a terminal value;
•A discount rate to be determined by the SICT. The concessions provide that the discount rate shall be based on the weighted average cost of capital formula (on a pre-tax basis), as well as Mexican economic conditions. The concessions provide that the discount rate shall include the risk-free rate of return based on the average over the last five years of the return on dollar-denominated UMS (United Mexican States) bonds issue in the global markets with maturity periods of between 5 and 30 years, plus a market-risk premium based on the premium paid by the market for investment in assets on the stock market; and
•An efficiency factor to be determined by the SICT expressed in decimals. The maximum rates applicable to our airports reflect a projected annual efficiency improvement of 0.80% for the five-year period from January 1, 2025, through December 31, 2029.
Our Mexican concessions specify a discounted cash flow formula to be used by the SICT to determine the maximum rates that, given the projected earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, capital expenditures and discount rate, would result in a net present value equal to the reference values established in connection with the last determination of maximum rates. The maximum rates ultimately established by the SICT historically have resulted from a determination the SICT and us regarding these variables. Once the maximum rates are established, they must be adjusted each year by the efficiency factor and by the Mexican PPI, excluding petroleum. Also, once the maximum rates are established based in part on the capital expenditures included in our Master Development Programs, the capital expenditures must be adjusted according to the Mexican PPI’s construction price index.
The concessions provide that each airport’s reference values, and discount rate and the other variables used in calculating the maximum rates do not in any manner represent an undertaking by the SICT or the Mexican government as to the profitability of any concession holder. Therefore, whether or not the maximum rates (or the amounts up to the maximum rates that we are able to collect) multiplied by workload units at any airport generate a profit or exceed our profit estimates, or reflect the actual profitability, discount rates, capital expenditures or productivity gains at that airport over the five-year period, we are not entitled to any adjustment to compensate for any shortfall. On the other hand, from the seventh ordinary period of determination of the Joint Maximum Tariff, a comparison will first be made of forecast traffic units in the immediately preceding five-year period against the actual traffic results over the same time. If there is an accumulated difference greater than 3.0% in the airport group, an adjustment will be made to the reference value (year six according to the authorization document) to be used for the new calculation. The economic value resulting from the excess traffic units above 3% will be deducted from the reference value for year 6 of the five-year period immediately preceding the regular review. Economic value means regulated revenue less concession fees on the excess income.
To the extent that such aggregate revenues per workload unit exceed the relevant maximum rate, the SICT may proportionately reduce the maximum rate in the immediately subsequent year. In addition, it may assess penalties equivalent to 1,000 to 50,000 times the general minimum wage in Mexico. On January 1, 2026, the daily general minimum wage in Mexico was Ps.278.8. As a result, the highest penalty at such date could have been approximately Ps.13.9 million (approximately U.S.$774.1 thousand) per airport.
As established by the SICT, the calculation of workload units does not include transit passengers for subsequent years. The current workload unit calculation is therefore equal to one terminal passenger or 100 kilograms (220 pounds) of cargo.
Special Adjustments to Maximum Rates
Once determined, each airport’s maximum rates are subject to special adjustment only under the following circumstances:
•Change in law or natural disasters. A concession holder may request an adjustment to its maximum rates if a change in law with respect to quality standards or safety and environmental protection results in operating costs or capital expenditures that were not contemplated when its maximum rates were determined. In addition, a concession holder may also request an adjustment to its maximum rates if a natural disaster affects demand or requires unanticipated capital expenditures. There can be no assurance that any request on these grounds will be approved.
•Macroeconomic conditions. A concession holder may request an adjustment in its maximum rates if, as a result of a decrease of at least 5% in Mexican GDP in a twelve-month period, the workload units processed at the concession holder’s airport are less than those projected when its Master Development Program was approved. To grant an adjustment under these circumstances, the SICT must have already allowed the concession holder to decrease its projected capital improvements under its Master Development Program. This is a result of the decline in passenger traffic volume. There can be no assurance that any request on these grounds will be approved.
•Increase in concession tax under Mexican Federal Duties Law. An increase in duty payable by a concession holder under the Mexican Federal Duties Law entitles the concession holder to request an adjustment in its maximum rates. There can be no assurance that any request on these grounds will be approved.
•Failure to make the required investments or improvements. The SICT annually reviews each concession holder’s compliance with its Master Development Program (including the provision of services and the making of capital investments). If a concession holder fails to satisfy any of the investment commitments contained in its Master Development Program, the SICT is entitled to decrease the concession holder’s maximum rates and assess penalties.
•Excess revenues. In the event that revenues subject to price regulation per workload unit in any year exceed the applicable maximum rate, the maximum rate for the following year will be decreased to compensate airport users for overpayment in the previous year. Under these circumstances, the SICT is also entitled to assess penalties against the concession holder.
Other Regulation of Mexican Concessions and Concession Assets
Ownership Commitments and Restrictions
The Mexican concessions require us to retain a 51% direct ownership interest in each of our twelve Mexican concession holders throughout the term of these concessions. Any acquisition by us or by one of our Mexican concession holders of any additional Mexican airport concessions or a beneficial interest of 30% or more in another Mexican concession holder requires the consent of the Mexican Antitrust Commission. In addition, Mexican concessions prohibit us and our concession holders, collectively or individually, from acquiring more than one concession for the operation of an airport along each of Mexico’s southern and northern borders.
Air carriers are prohibited under the Mexican Airport Law from controlling or beneficially owning 5% or more of the shares of a holder of an airport concession. We, and each of our subsidiaries, are similarly restricted from owning 5% or more of the shares of any air carrier.
Foreign governments acting in a sovereign capacity are prohibited from owning any direct or indirect equity interest in the holder of an airport concession.
Reporting, Information and Consent Requirements
Mexican concession holders and third parties providing services at airports are required to grant the SICT access to all airport facilities and information relating to an airport’s construction, operation, maintenance, and development. Each Mexican concession holder is obligated to maintain statistical records of operations and air traffic movements at its airport. In addition, it is obligatory to provide the SICT with any information that it may request. Each Mexican concession holder is also required to publish its annual audited financial statements in a principal Mexican newspaper within the first four months of each year.
The Mexican Airport Law provides that any person or group directly or indirectly acquiring control of a concession holder is required to obtain the consent of the SICT for such control acquisition. For purposes of this requirement, control is deemed to be acquired in the following circumstances:
•if a person acquires 35% or more of the shares of a concession holder;
•if a person has the ability to control the outcome of meetings of the shareholders of a concession holder;
•if a person has the ability to appoint a majority of the members of the board of directors of a concession holder or
•if a person by any other means acquires control of an airport.
Pursuant to the regulations under the Mexican Airport Law, any company acquiring control of a Mexican concession holder is deemed to be jointly and severally liable to the concession holder for the performance of the terms and conditions of the concession.
The SICT requires notification of any change in a concession holder’s chief executive officer, board of directors, or management. A concession holder is also required to notify the SICT at least 90 days prior to the adoption of any amendment to its bylaws concerning the dissolution, corporate purpose, merger, transformation, or spin-off of the concession holder.
Termination of Concessions
Under the Mexican Airport Law and the terms of the concessions, a concession may be terminated upon any of the following events:
•the expiration of its term;
•its surrender by the concession holder;
•the revocation of the concession by the SICT;
•the reversion (rescate) of the Mexican government-owned assets that are the subject of the concession (principally real estate, improvements and other infrastructure);
•the inability to achieve the purpose of the concession, except in the event of force majeure;
•the dissolution, liquidation or bankruptcy of the concession holder; or
•the failure by the concession holder to satisfy the shareholding obligations set forth in the concession.
Following a concession’s termination, the concession holder remains liable for the performance of its obligations during the term of the concession.
Revocation of Concessions
A concession may be revoked by the SICT under certain conditions, including:
•the failure by a concession holder to operate, maintain and develop an airport pursuant to the terms established in the concession;
•the failure by a concession holder to maintain insurance as required under the Mexican Airport Law;
•the assignment, encumbrance, transfer or sale of a concession, any of the rights thereunder or the assets underlying the concession in violation of the Mexican Airport Law;
•any alteration of the nature or condition of an airport’s facilities without the authorization of the SICT;
•use, with a concession holder’s consent or without the approval of air traffic control authorities, of an airport by any aircraft that does not comply with the requirements of the Mexican Civil Aviation Law, that has not been authorized by the Mexican Air Traffic Control Authority, or that is involved in the commission of a felony;
•knowingly appointing a chief executive officer or board member of a concession holder that is not qualified to perform his functions under the law as a result of having violated criminal laws;
•the failure by the concession holder to pay the Mexican government the airport concession tax;
•failure to own at least 51% of the capital stock of subsidiary concession holders;
•violation of the safety regulations established in the Mexican Airport Law and other applicable laws;
•total or partial interruption of the operation of an airport or its airport or complementary services without just cause;
•the failure to maintain an airport’s facilities;
•the provision of unauthorized services;
•the failure to indemnify a third party for damages caused by the provision of services by the concession holder or a third-party service provider;
•charging prices higher than those registered with the SICT for regulated services or exceeding the applicable maximum rate;
•any act or omission that impedes the ability of other service providers or authorities to carry out their functions within an airport; or
•any other failure to comply with the Mexican Airport Law, its regulations and the terms of a concession.
The SICT is entitled to revoke a concession without prior notice as a result of the first six events described above. Regarding the other violations listed above, violations may result in revocation of a concession only if sanctions have been imposed at least two times for the same cause in a ten-year period.
Pursuant to the terms of our Mexican concessions, in the event the SICT revokes one of our Mexican concessions, it is entitled to revoke all of our Mexican concessions.
According to the Mexican National Assets Law, the surface area of our airports and improvements to such space are government-owned assets. A concession concerning government-owned assets may be “rescued,” or reverted to the Mexican government prior to the concession’s expiration, when considered necessary for the public interest. In exchange, the Mexican government is required to pay compensation as determined by expert appraisers. Following a declaration of reversion (rescate), the assets that were subject to the concession are automatically returned to the Mexican government.
In the event of war, public disturbances or threats to national security, the Mexican government may assume the operation (requisa) of any airport and any airport assets, as well as any airport and complementary services. Such government action may exist only during the duration of an emergency. Except in the case of war, the Mexican federal government is required to compensate all affected parties for any damages or losses suffered as a result of such government action. If the Mexican government and a concession holder cannot agree as to the appropriate amount of damages or losses, the amount of damages must be determined by experts jointly appointed by both parties and the amount of losses must be determined based on the average net income of the concession holder during the previous year.
The Mexican Airport Law provides that a sanction of up to 200,000 times the general daily minimum wage in Mexico may be assessed for failure to comply with the law or the terms of a concession. Such sanctions may be duplicated in the event of reiterative failures to comply. As a result, the maximum penalty on January 1, 2026, was Ps.55.8 million (U.S.$.3.1 million) for an individual failure to comply.
Consequences of Termination or Revocation of a Concession
Upon termination, whether due to expiration or revocation, the real estate and fixtures that were the subject of the concession automatically revert to the Mexican government. In addition, upon termination, the Mexican federal government has a preemptive right to acquire all other assets used by the concession holder to provide services under the concession. These assets will be purchased at prices established by expert appraisers appointed by the SICT. Alternatively, the Mexican government may lease these assets for up to five years at fair market rates as determined by expert appraisers selected by the Mexican government and the concession holder. If there is a discrepancy between appraisals, a third expert appraiser must be jointly appointed by the Mexican government and the concession holder. If the concession holder does not appoint an expert appraiser, or if such appraiser fails to determine a price, the determination of the appraiser appointed by the Mexican government will be conclusive. If the Mexican government chooses to lease the assets, it may thereafter purchase the assets at their fair market value. This is determined by an expert appraiser appointed by the Mexican government.
The Mexican Communications Law, however, provides that upon expiration, termination, or revocation of a concession, all assets necessary to operate the airports will revert to the Mexican government at no cost and free of any liens or other encumbrances. There is substantial doubt as to whether the provisions of our Mexican concessions will prevail over those of the Mexican Communications Law. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that upon expiration or termination of our Mexican concessions, the assets used by our subsidiary concession holders to provide services at our airports will not revert to the Mexican government, free of charge, together with government-owned assets and improvements permanently attached thereto.
Grants of New Mexican Concessions
The Mexican government may grant new concessions to manage, operate, develop, and construct airports. Such concessions may be granted through a public bidding process in which bidders must demonstrate their technical, legal, managerial, and financial capabilities. Under certain circumstances, the Federal Competition Commission has the power to prohibit a party from bidding and cancel an award after the process has concluded. In addition, the government may grant concessions without a public bidding process to the following entities:
•any person who holds a permit to operate a civil aerodrome and intends to transform the aerodrome into an airport so long as (i) the proposed change is consistent with the national airport development programs and policies, (ii) the civil aerodrome has been in continuous operation for the previous five years, and (iii) the permit holder complies with all requirements of the concession;
•a current concession holder when necessary to meet increased demand so long as: (i) a new airport is necessary to increase existing capacity, (ii) the operation of both airports by a single concession holder is more efficient than other options, and (iii) the concession holder complies with all requirements of the concession;
•a current concession holder when it is in the public interest for its airport to be relocated;
•entities in the federal public administration and
•commercial entities in which local or municipal governments have a majority equity interest if the entities’ corporate purpose is to manage, operate, develop, and/or construct airports.
Mexican Environmental Regulation
Legislative Framework
Our operations are subject to Mexican federal, state, and municipal laws and regulations relating protecting the environment. The primary federal environmental laws applicable to our operations are: (i) the General Law of Ecological Balance and Environmental Protection (Ley General de Equilibrio Ecológico y Protección Ambiental, or the “General Environmental Law”) and its regulations, which are administered by the Ministry of the Environment and Natural Resources (Secretaría de Medio Ambiente y Recursos Naturales) and enforced by the Ministry’s enforcement branch, the Federal Office for the Protection of the Environment (Procuraduría Federal de Protección al Ambiente); (ii) the General Law for the Prevention and Integral Management of Waste (Ley General para la Prevención y Gestión Integral de los Residuos, or the “Law on Waste”), which is also administered by the Ministry of the Environment and Natural Resources and enforced by the Federal Office for the Protection of the Environment; and (iii) the National Waters Law (Ley de Aguas Nacionales) and its regulations, which are administered and enforced by the National Waters Commission (Comisión Nacional del Agua), also a branch of the Ministry of the Environment and Natural Resources.
Under the General Environmental Law, regulations concerning air pollution, environmental impact, land use, soil contamination, noise control, hazardous waste, environmental audits, and natural protected areas have been enacted. The General Environmental Law also regulates, among other things, vibrations, thermal energy, and visual pollution. However, the Mexican government has not yet issued enforceable regulations on the majority of these matters. The General Environmental Law additionally provides that companies contaminating soils are responsible for their clean-up. Further, according to the Waste Law, owners and/or possessors of property with soil contamination are jointly and severally liable for the remediation of such contaminated sites. This liability is independent of any recourse or other actions such owners and/or possessors may have against the contaminated party. It is also independent of the criminal or administrative liability to which the contaminated party may be subject. Restrictions on the transfer of contaminated sites also exist. The Waste Law also regulates hazardous waste generation, handling, and disposal.
Pursuant to the National Waters Law, companies that discharge wastewater into national water bodies must comply with, among other requirements, maximum permissible contaminant levels. This is in order to preserve water quality. Periodic reports on water quality must be provided to the competent authorities. Liability may result from the contamination of underground waters or recipient water bodies. The use of underground waters is subject to restrictions under our Mexican concessions and the National Waters Commission.
In addition to the foregoing, Mexican Official Norms (Normas Oficiales Mexicanas), or “NOMs,” which are technical standards issued by competent regulatory authorities pursuant to the General Normalization Law (Ley General de Metrología y Normalización) and the General Law of Ecological Balance and Environmental Protection (Ley General del Equilibrio Ecológico y la Protección al Ambiente), establish limits on air emissions, wastewater discharges, the generation, handling and disposal of hazardous waste and noise control, among other matters.
The General Environmental Law and Waste Law establish the principal policies for soil remediation. Remediation standards and procedures are gradually beginning to be implemented through NOMs.
Although not enforceable, the internal administrative criteria on soil contamination of the Federal Office for the Protection of the Environment are widely used as guidance in cases where soil remediation, restoration, or clean-up is required.
The Ministry of the Environment and Natural Resources (Secretaría de Medio Ambiente y Recursos Naturales) and the Federal Office for the Protection of the Environment (Procuraduría Federal de Protección al Ambiente) are the responsible regulators. The Federal Office for the Protection of the Environment can bring administrative, civil, and criminal proceedings against companies that violate environmental laws, and it also has the power to close non-complying facilities and impose a variety of sanctions. Companies in Mexico are required to obtain proper authorizations, licenses, concessions, or permits from the competent environmental authorities. These authorizations are for the performance of activities that may impact the environment or constitute a source of contamination. Companies in Mexico are also required to comply with a variety of reporting obligations that include, among others, providing the Ministry of the Environment and Natural Resources, the Federal Office for the Protection of the Environment, and the National Waters Commission, as applicable, with periodic reports regarding compliance with various environmental laws.
Prior to the opening of Mexico’s airports to private investment, the Federal Office for the Protection of the Environment required environmental audits to be performed at each of our airports. Based on the results of these audits, the Federal Office for the Protection of the Environment issued recommendations for improvements and corrective actions to be taken at each of our airports. In connection with the transfer of the management of our airports from our predecessor, we entered into environmental compliance agreements with the Federal Office for the Protection of the Environment on January 1, 1999, and July 12, 2000, pursuant to which we agreed to comply with a specific action plan and adopt specific actions within a determined time frame.
The Federal Office for the Protection of the Environment has confirmed that we have complied with the relevant environmental requirements derived from the aforementioned environmental audits. It has issued compliance certificates for all of our airports. These certificates, known as Environmental Quality Certificates (Certificados de Calidad Ambiental), certify compliance with applicable Mexican environmental laws, regulations and applicable NOMs and must be renewed periodically.
In June 2013, a decree was published in the Official Gazette of the Federation (Diario Oficial de la Federación), issuing the Federal Environmental Responsibility Law (Ley Federal de Responsabilidad Ambiental). As part of the Federal Environmental Responsibility Law, various provisions were amended, added, and revoked of the General Law of Ecological Equilibrium and Protection of the Environment, the General Law of Wildlife, the General Law for the Comprehensive Prevention and Waste Management, the General Law for Sustainable Forest Development, the National Water Act and the Federal Criminal Code, among others, to the effect that any person or company whose acts or omissions directly or indirectly cause harm to the natural environment, is obligated to repair the environmental damage, or when reparation is not possible, to compensate for the harm, and undertake any necessary actions to avoid increasing the harm. A second general aspect of this reform is the creation of expanded standing so that individuals, including Mexican environmental non-profits, may initiate lawsuits to protect property they do not directly own.
In 2018 a new carbon dioxide (“CO2”) market commenced operating in Mexico. The market requires industries that generate above a certain amount of CO2 emissions, including airport concession owners, to pay for rights to excess emissions. Since 2019, the legislation has required that companies subject to it report their global emissions as verified by the Mexican Emissions Registry (Registro Nacional de Emisiones). We are subject to this legislation and began reporting our emissions in 2018. In 2019, we began submitting our emissions reports for verification by the Mexican Emissions Registry. In addition, new water quality standards are being discussed, requiring better water quality for all of our wastewater disposal. During 2025, these standards have not undergone modifications.
Liability for Environmental Noncompliance
Under the terms of our Mexican concessions, the Mexican government has agreed to indemnify us for any environmental liabilities arising prior to November 1, 1998. This includes any failure by ASA prior to November 1, 1998, to comply with applicable environmental laws and with its agreements with Mexican environmental authorities. Although there can be no assurance, we believe that we are entitled to indemnification for any liabilities related to the actions our predecessor was required to perform or refrain from performing under applicable environmental laws and its agreements with environmental authorities.
Prior to the privatization of Mexico’s airports, the PROFEPA required that environmental audits be conducted at each of our airports. Based on the results of these audits, PROFEPA issued recommendations and corrective action plans for implementation at each airport.
In connection with the transfer of management from our predecessor, beginning in 1999 we voluntarily enrolled our airports in PROFEPA’s National Environmental Audit Program in order to comply with a defined action plan designed to ensure adherence to applicable federal, state and local environmental regulations.
As a result of this process, PROFEPA issued compliance certificates for all of our airports. These certificates, known as Environmental Quality Certificates (Certificados de Calidad Ambiental), certify compliance with applicable Mexican environmental laws, regulations and Official Mexican Standards (Normas Oficiales Mexicanas, or “NOMs”). This voluntary certification has been renewed periodically since its initial issuance.
The level of environmental regulation in Mexico has significantly increased in recent years, and the enforcement of environmental laws is becoming substantially more stringent. We expect this trend to continue and expect additional norms to be imposed by the North American Agreement on Environmental Cooperation entered into by Canada, the United States, and Mexico in the context of USMCA, and by other international treaties on environmental matters. We do not expect compliance with Mexican federal, state or municipal environmental laws currently in effect to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. However, there can be no assurance that environmental regulations or enforcement will not change in a manner that could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, prospects, or financial condition.
Mexican Safety Regulation
Our aeronautical operations are subject to national and international regulations regarding maintaining acceptable safety standards. Compliance with these safety regulations is overseen by the Mexican Directorate General of Civil Aviation, which conducts audits and inspections of each of our Mexican airports.
In 2013, the Mexican Government issued a Mexican Official Standard (Norma Oficial Mexicana), which created an obligation to implement ICAO’s Safety Management System (“SMS”). SMS is a systematic approach to managing safety, including the necessary organizational structures, accountability, policies, and procedures. The ICAO encourages various types of product and service providers that design, manufacture, operate or support aircraft operation to implement this system. The Civil Aviation Authority can bring administrative proceedings against providers that do not comply with SMS regulations, and it also has the power to impose a variety of sanctions or close non-complying facilities.
We began implementing this system as soon as the standard was issued, and by 2017, all of our Mexican airports were SMS-certified. As of the date of this report, we are the only airport operator in the country with 100% of its airports certified in SMS.
In addition, the ICAO provides certification based on compliance with safety, regulatory, and efficiency standards for aircraft operations at aerodromes. This certification ensures that certified aerodromes are in compliance with relevant ICAO standards and recommended Civil Aviation Authority practices. During 2023, 2024 and 2025 our twelve airports maintained their ICAO aerodrome certification.
Sources of Jamaican Regulation
The following are the principal laws, regulations and instruments that govern our business in Jamaica and the operation of our Jamaican airports and the concessionaires:
•Civil Aviation Act, enacted June 1, 1966;
•Airports Authority Act, enacted July 31, 1974; and
•Airports (Economic Regulation) Act, enacted December 31, 2002.
•Income Tax Act, enacted January 1, 1955;
•Assets Tax (Specified Bodies) Act, enacted January 2, 2003; and
•General Consumption Tax Act, enacted October 22, 1991.
•The Employment Termination and Redundancy Act, enacted December 9, 1974; and
•Holiday with Pay Act, enacted March 27, 1947.
•The Natural Resources Conservation Authority Act, enacted July 5, 1991.
•Companies Act, enacted February 1, 2005; and
•the MBJA Concession Agreement that entitles MBJA to operate the Montego Bay International Airport, which was granted on April 3, 2003 and came into force on April 12, 2003.
•the NMIA Concession Agreement that entitles PACKAL to operate the Kingston International Airport, which was granted on October 10, 2018 and came into force on October 10, 2019.
Legislation specifically applicable to the operation of airport concessions and airports in Jamaica are the Civil Aviation Act, the Airports Authority Act and the Airports (Economic Regulation) Act, and each of their respective subsidiary legislation and regulations. In addition, our Jamaican airports are subject to all applicable laws and regulations related to the operation of a private limited liability company in Jamaica.
The Civil Aviation Act and the regulations thereunder provide the general framework for regulating air transportation. They establish the JCAA, under the authority of the MSET, to oversee safety and security, provide air navigation services and regulate aviation industry prices. The Civil Aviation Act’s stated intent is to promote the development of air transport in Jamaica.
In 1974, the Airports Authority Act transferred to the AAJ, an independent government agency, the concessions for Jamaica’s two international airports – the Montego Bay and Kingston airports. The AAJ continues to own both airports but has divested operational responsibility for the Montego Bay and Kingston airports through public bidding processes in 2003 and 2017, respectively.
The Airports (Economic Regulation) Act of 2002 establishes the framework for the economic regulation of Jamaica’s airports and governs the provision of services or facilities at the international airports for the purposes of landing, parking, fueling, servicing or taking off of aircraft and handling passengers, baggage and cargo at the airport. The Act allows the MSET to levy airport improvement fees and authorizes the JCAA to regulate airport charges and deal with public interest issues such as anti-competitive behavior and accounting transparency. Airport operators must submit an application for permission to levy airport charges on airlines and passengers to the JCAA. Airport operators permitted to levy airport charges must also routinely provide the JCAA with their annual accounts and schedules of airport charges.
Jamaican Regulatory Agencies
The regulatory agencies overseeing the operation of airports and airport concessions are the MSET, JCAA and the AAJ.
The MSET’s primary responsibility is Jamaica’s land, marine and air transport and their related infrastructure. The MSET has regulatory responsibility for the safety of all modes of transportation, whether publicly or privately operated. This includes airports, aerodromes and airline operators. The following agencies and departments fall under the MSET and oversee the operation of airports and airport concessions:
•Jamaica Civil Aviation Authority. The JCAA is a statutory organization under the MSET. It regulates the Jamaican aviation industry, including oversight of safety and security, provision of air navigation services and regulation of aviation industry prices. The JCAA is the agency empowered to grant the Montego Bay and Kingston airports their required annual permits and licenses, except for the Aerodrome License. This is granted by the MSET, and to approve or reject the regulated charges proposed by MBJA and PACKAL for the Montego Bay and Kingston airports, respectively.
•Airports Authority of Jamaica. The AAJ is an independent statutory body established by the Jamaican Airports Authority Act with responsibility for the nation’s commercial and civil airports. The AAJ owns the airport concession assets of our Jamaican airports. It provides contract administration for the Concession Agreements granted to operate and manage the Montego Bay and Kingston airports situated on land owned by it. Under the Concession Agreements, the AAJ conducts regular performance reviews and other contract administration oversight functions. In addition, the AAJ obligates concession holders to hold a biannual airport forum. This will provide the airport’s stakeholders with the opportunity to provide progress reports and issues pertinent to them.
Jamaican Airport Concession Agreements
On April 3, 2003, MBJA entered into a 30-year concession agreement with the AAJ, which began on April 12, 2003, to operate the Montego Bay airport. MBJA pays both monthly and annual concession taxes to the Jamaican government to allow it to use and develop the assets subject to the concession. During 2024, the authority approved an extension for one additional year, thus, the new concession term is March 2034.
On October 10, 2019, PACKAL entered into a 25-year concession agreement with the AAJ, with a single possible five-year extension, to operate Kingston airport. PACKAL pays a monthly concession fee of 62.01% of total aeronautical and non-aeronautical revenues to the Jamaican government to allow it to use and develop the assets. During 2024, the authority approved a new concession fee of 53.22% applicable retroactively since September 2023.
At the end of each concession’s term, MBJA and PACKAL, respectively, will transfer these concession assets back to the AAJ. See “Item 5, Operating and Financial Review and Prospects – Overview – Operating Costs – Concession Taxes – Jamaican Concession Taxes.”
MBJA’s and PACKAL’s Obligations as Concessionaires
Under the terms of each of the Concession Agreements, the concession holder is responsible for the maintenance, operation and development of the airport, including the management of day-to-day operations in keeping with specific performance criteria and prescribed international standards, in order to render airport, complementary and commercial services. As such, each of MBJA’s and PACKAL’s general obligations as concession holders are thus to: operate and manage the airport in compliance with applicable law; provide airport, complementary and commercial services; report on accounts, financial records, traffic and performance levels; and carry out the capital investments proposed in the Capital Development Program and maintain and develop the tangible concession assets.
•Licensing Requirements. “Material License” in the Concession Agreements means any permission, consent, license or approval that the concession holder must hold or obtain under any applicable law in order to operate and manage the airport and provide airport services, including the Aerodrome License from the MSET, the Aerodrome Certificate from the JCAA and the JCAA’s permission to levy airport charges. A revocation of the JCAA’s permission to levy airport charges for cause attributable to the concession holder, or the failure to renew any other Material License within 30 days of revocation for cause attributable to the concession holder, is considered an event of default under the respective Concession Agreement.
•Required Services. The concessions require the concession holder to provide the following airport, complementary and commercial services at Montego Bay and Kingston airports, respectively:
•handling of aircraft on land (including the movement, parking, maintenance and storage of aircraft and the supply of fuel, catering and other provisions to aircraft, but excluding directing aircraft from the landing strip and taxiways to the ramp);
•handling of passengers, baggage, cargo, mail and other freight, including transfer to and from aircraft;
•emergency and security facilities, equipment, personnel and services;
•information services, car parking and refreshments for passengers;
•ground transportation and transfer options;
•leasing and management of the airport site; and
•supply of consumer goods and services (including currency exchange services).
•Reporting Requirements. Under the terms of the concession, the concession holder is obligated to:
•monitor and report on service levels achieved in respect of specified service areas;
•provide quarterly unaudited financial statements and an annual report and audited financial statements, together with copies of all related directors’ and auditors’ reports;
•provide semi-annual (or more frequently if required by and supplied to lenders on a more frequent basis) cash flow statement in respect of the Capital Development Program;
•provide preliminary proposals as to yearly financing arrangements and an annual business plan; and
•provide records of all passengers and freight using or passing through the airport as frequently as the AAJ may require (monthly for PACKAL).
•Capital Investment Requirements. Every five years, the concession holder is entitled to submit to the JCAA its proposal for increases to the maximum regulated charges applicable to their airport as justified by a Capital Development Program, justified by
five-year estimates of traffic growth and investment commitments (including capital expenditures for capital projects and required maintenance at the respective airport). Under the terms of the Concession Agreements, upon the JCAA’s approval of a proposal for price increases, the concession holder has a commitment to fulfill the estimated capital expenditures in the Capital Development Program.
The AAJ remains the owner of the land upon which the airport is sited, as well as the physical assets subject to the concession. The concession holder is required to maintain and manage the airport concession with the intent that the AAJ or a successor operator would be able to take over the operation and management of the airport business at any time, including through the use of all reasonable endeavors to ensure that the AAJ or such other successor airport operator would have immediate access to all of its airport employees and assets. Following termination of the concession, the concession holder is obligated to return to the AAJ the facilities and services ordinarily provided or reasonably incidental to the operation of the airport.
AAJ Consent Requirements
Under the Concession Agreements, the concession holder requires the consent of the MSET and the AAJ if it wishes to expand its services into any business, activity, facility or service not permitted by the definition of “core airport services” in the Concession Agreement, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
MBJA and PACKAL also require the consent of AAJ to:
•hold any shares, participation or any other ownership interest in any other undertaking (except for investments, including deposits, in the ordinary course of treasury management of the airport business);
•enter into contracts or arrangements other than for the purpose of carrying on the airport business or other than on arm’s length terms;
•enter into contracts imposing obligations or liabilities upon the concession holder which will not be fully performed or discharged prior to the expiry of the concession period; and
•amend, vary or supplement (or grant a waiver in respect of) certain financing documents related to their respective Concession Agreement.
AAJ’s Rights to Step In, Terminate or Grant a New Concession
As owner of the concession assets, the AAJ is entitled, upon seven days’ notice (or sooner in case of emergency) and for so long as may be required, to expel the concession holder from all or part of the airport site or to take over or take steps to carry on the operation and management of the airport or provision of airport services when:
•any concession holder event of default has occurred and is continuing, and any cure period provided therefore has expired without the event or circumstance being cured;
•traffic at the airport will be materially disrupted and the concession holder is unable or unwilling to resolve the disruption promptly;
•members of the public are unable to use the airport or its facilities safely and the concession holder is unable or unwilling to resolve the problem promptly; or
•there is a material threat to national security or any other national emergency occurs (whether involving hostilities or otherwise).
Upon a step-in by the AAJ, the AAJ will account to the concession holder for any revenues collected during the step-in period. Where the AAJ exercises its right to step in pursuant to any uncured concession holder event of default or because traffic at the airport will be materially disrupted and the concession holder is unable or unwilling for any reason to resolve the disruption, the concession holder is required to bear all costs and expenses associated with the AAJ exercise of step-in, but not consequential losses. The concession holder is not liable for costs if there is step-in by the AAJ because of a material threat to national security.
The AAJ may terminate the Concession Agreement with the concession holder upon an event of default on the part of the concession holder, after which the AAJ must provide notice of its intention to serve a written termination notice and conduct up to 30 days of good-faith consultations to avoid termination, during which the concession holder fails to cure the event of default. Regardless of the cause of termination, a termination fee is due to the concession holder upon termination or revocation of the concession. The Concession Agreement limits the AAJ’s liability to such a termination fee. However, the payment terms of the termination fee depend upon the cause: upon an event of default on the AAJ’s part, the termination fee is payable by the AAJ within three months, with an option to extend for up to twelve months with default interest, while if the event of default is on the concession holders part, the termination fee is payable by the AAJ in installments within twelve months.
The Jamaican government may grant new concessions to manage, operate, develop and construct airports. In the Concession Agreement, the concession holder acknowledges that the AAJ may also wish, at the expiry or termination of the concession period, to invite persons to bid
for the right to provide all or some of the airport services at the airports. The concession holder may participate in such bidding process, if interested. However, if there has been an event of default attributable to the insolvency of the concession holders' shareholders, in which case the concession holder would be disqualified from participation. However, in preparation for such bidding process, and regardless of whether the concession holder intends to participate in the bidding process, the concession holder would be obligated to provide access to employees, assets, books and records related to the airport business, and may not in any way prejudice or frustrate the transfer of the airport business. The Concession Agreement sets out the hand-back procedures to be observed as the end of the concession period approaches. It also sets out the dispute resolution mechanism for addressing objections by either party regarding the hand-back. Under the agreement, the concession holder commits to assisting and advising the AAJ or any successor operator (subject to payment of reasonable remuneration and reasonable costs and expenses) in providing and operating the airport for up to six months following completion of the handover and must post a bond equivalent to the cost of the hand-back works for the six-month period.
Jamaican Aeronautical Services Regulation
In Jamaica, charges levied on airlines and passengers are regulated by the JCAA using a price cap mechanism based on a forecast return on assets. Permission for any increase in the levy of regulated charges, which include passenger charges, aircraft landing and parking charges, passenger walkway charges and airport security charges, must be granted by the JCAA. Regulated aeronautical charges will be reviewed every five years. The following table sets the maximum rates for each of our Jamaican airports from 2026-2030:

(1)Expressed in U.S. dollars.
According to the Airport Economic Regulation Act, which governs the tariff, if exceptional circumstances arise during a five-year period which may justify reconsideration of airport charges, the approved airport operator may submit an application to the Authority which shall, after conducting an investigation consider that application, taking into account the provisions in the concession agreement and could adjust the price cap or the capital expenditures.
The Airports (Economic Regulation) Act and the related 2021 Airport Expansion Fund Agreement require the airlines operating at the Montego Bay airport to collect the AIF fee of U.S.$5.00 per embarking international passenger, on behalf of the Government of Jamaica and to deposit the fees on a monthly basis in a trust account controlled by the MSET. Subject to MSET’s approval, MBJA may use these funds for additional capital investments not included in the Capital Development Program. In addition, these funds may be used for interest expenses related to the financing thereof. MBJA is required to commit to such new investments in exchange for the right to use the AIF funds. The MSET approval of collection of AIF funds at Montego Bay airport was renewed on February 25, 2015, for the period ending April 11, 2030, unless otherwise revoked. The Runway Extension and Associated Works Project were approved by the MSET to be funded from the AIF with funds collected after April 11, 2015.
The Airports (Economic Regulation) Act and the related Airport Expansion Fund Agreement require the airlines operating at the Kingston airport to collect the AIF fee of U.S.$10.00 per embarking international passenger, on behalf of the Government of Jamaica and to deposit the fees on a monthly basis in a trust account controlled by the MSET. All AIFs collected and all funds standing to the credit of the Expansion Account shall be the sole property and funds of the Government of Jamaica. The MSET approval of collection of AIF funds at Kingston airport is valid from October 10, 2019, to December 31, 2030, unless otherwise revoked. PACKAL has no right or power over any funds collected with respect to the Expansion Account or the funds held to the credit thereof.
See “Item 5, Operating and Financial Review and Prospects – Overview – Classification of Revenues – Aeronautical Revenues.”
Other Regulation of Jamaican Concessions and Concession Assets
Jamaican Companies Act Restrictions
MBJA was incorporated as a limited liability company to enter into and carry out the terms of the concession with respect to the development, financing, management and operation of Montego Bay airport. MBJA’s constitutive documents bar the transfer of shares in MBJA to passenger or cargo airlines or persons broadly connected to them, other than AAJ or the Jamaican government. Under the shareholders’ agreement between DCA and Vantage, any transfer of MBJA shares to non-affiliates is subject to a right of first refusal.
PACKAL was incorporated as a limited liability company to enter into and carry out the terms of the concession with respect to the development, financing, management and operation of Kingston airport.
Reporting Requirements
Pursuant to the regulations under the Jamaican Civil Aviation Act, airport operators must report on compliance with operating procedures and safety measures. MBJA and PACKAL, as airport operators, are required to report to the JCAA any changes in conditions or other hazardous circumstances or occurrences at the airport, including: any reduction in the level of service or closure of any part of the movement area; any obstacle, obstruction or hazard; and any other condition that could affect aviation safety, as well as what precautions are deemed warranted. MBJA and PACKAL are also obliged to provide reports to the JCAA on the results of internal audits of their safety management system. This includes inspections of airport facilities and equipment and of the airport operator’s own administrative functions.
Both airports must report to the Jamaican government the number of passengers paying AIF and the amount of each transfer of AIF made during the previous month. In addition, they must also report payments related to the concession fee.
As a Jamaican registered company, MBJA and PACKAL are also required to file an annual report with the Companies Office of Jamaica. This report will inform any changes in the ownership or management structure. It will also report on any share transactions and changes in the value of shares during the prior year.
Jamaican Environmental Regulation
Operations at our Jamaican airports are subject to Jamaican laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment. The major environmental law applicable to these operations is the National Resources Conservation Authority Act, which establishes the National Resources Conservation Authority (now part of the National Environmental Protection Agency) and its subsidiary legislation and regulations. Under the act, regulations have been enacted concerning the discharge of pollutants into the Marine Park’s waters, the regulation of air emissions, discharge and treatment of wastewater and sludge, safe storage of fuels and responses to industrial emergencies involving hazardous materials.
Other environmental laws of relevance to our Jamaican airports’ operations are the Noise Abatement Act, aimed at controlling noise (but with no specific reference to aeronautical noise), the Beach Control Act, addressing access to the shoreline; the Watersheds Protection Act, addressing water resource and soil conservation practices; and the Wildlife Protection Act, specifying protected species of fauna. Other related regulations are the Town and Country Planning Act, Public Health Act, Garbage Collection and Disposal Regulations, National Solid Waste Management Act and the Water Resources Act and Clean Air Act. In addition, our airports are also subject to common law principles of tort liability in the event of a nuisance claim resulting from environmental factors.
The legal framework for environmental liability applicable to our Jamaican airports’ operations is generally outlined above. The level of environmental regulation in Jamaica has increased in recent years, and the enforcement of environmental laws is becoming more stringent. For example, the National Solid Waste Management Act and the Water Resources Act each carry certain penalties of JMD1 million (approximately U.S.$7,747). We expect this trend to continue, but we do not expect that compliance with Jamaican environmental laws currently in effect will have a material adverse effect on our Jamaican airports’ results of operations or our financial condition. However, there can be no assurance that environmental regulations or the enforcement thereof will not change. This could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, prospects or financial condition.

Pursuant to the Mexican National Assets Law (Ley General de Bienes Nacionales), all real estate and fixtures located at our Mexican airports are owned by the Mexican government. Each of our Mexican airport concessions is scheduled to expire in 2048. However, each concession may be extended one or more times for an aggregate additional period of up to 50 years, subject to our acceptance of any modifications to the concession terms that may be imposed by the SICT, as well as continued compliance with the terms of our existing concessions. Upon expiration of our Mexican concessions, all concession assets, including improvements made during the concession term, automatically revert to the Mexican government, free and clear of any liens or encumbrances. We are required to indemnify the Mexican government for any damage to such assets, except for damage resulting from normal wear and tear.
Pursuant to MBJA’s Concession Agreement, the AAJ remains the owner of the land on which the Montego Bay International Airport is located, as well as the physical assets subject to the concession.

Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects
The discussion below should be read along with our audited consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and the notes on those financial statements. These financial statements are included in this annual report to better understand our business and the historical results of operations.
OVERVIEW
We operate 14 airports, 12 located in Mexico’s Pacific and Central regions and two in Jamaica, under concessions agreements granted by the respective governments. Our primary revenue source is aeronautical services, which relate to the use of our airport facilities by airlines and passengers. In 2023, 2024, and 2025, approximately 58.0%, 56.9%, and 55.1%, respectively, of our total revenues were derived from aeronautical services. Aeronautical services represented 75.8%, 71.4%, and 70.2% of our combined aeronautical and non-aeronautical revenues during those same periods. Revenues from aeronautical services depend on the volume of passengers and cargo handled at our airports and are subject to the maximum tariffs permitted under the price regulation system established by the SICT in Mexico and the JCAA in Jamaica. Under these systems, we are authorized to charge a maximum tariff for each unit of traffic volume (measured in workload units) at each airport. Therefore, our aeronautical revenues increase in line with growth in passenger and cargo volumes.
We also generate revenue from non-aeronautical activities, including leasing space to restaurants, retailers, and service providers. Non-aeronautical revenues are mainly influenced by passenger volumes and the mix, quality, and performance of commercial offering at our airports. These revenues are not subject to the price regulation applicable to aeronautical services; therefore, our ability to negotiate competitive commercial agreements, adjust tenants rates, and optimize the allocation to commercial space is an important driver of non-aeronautical revenue growth. Although aeronautical services remain our largest revenue source, growth in commercial activities has outpaced aeronautical revenue growth in recent years. In response, we have expanded and renovated commercial areas in our Mexican airports to improve the retail mix and overall passenger experience. We also intend to renegotiate certain tenant agreements and continue recovering rights to non-aeronautical businesses historically operated by third parties. In addition, we plan to develop new non-aeronautical revenues streams by directly operating selected business lines, including VIP lounges, advertising services, convenience stores, and parking facilities. For further information, see “Item 4, Information on the Company – Business Overview – Our Sources of Revenue – Non-Aeronautical Services – Recent Expansion and Development of Commercial Areas”.
Traffic at our airports may be adversely affected by external events, as well as by increased competition from other tourist destinations in Mexico, such as Acapulco and Cancun, and from international destinations including Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Florida, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, other Caribbean islands, and destinations in Central America. We also expect competitive pressures to intensify if the Mexican or Jamaican government grant new concessions or modify existing permits in ways that enable airports to compete directly with ours. For more information, see “Item 3, Key Information – Risk Factors – Risks Related to Our Operations – Competition from other tourist destinations could adversely affect our business” and “Item 3, Key Information – Risk Factors – Risks Related to the Regulation of Our Business – The Mexican and Jamaican governments could grant new concessions that compete with our airports.”
Recent Developments
On October 28, 2025, Hurricane Melissa hit the island of Jamaica, affecting Montego Bay Airport's infrastructure, which suffered some damage to the terminal building, its equipment, and operational areas. The airport suspended operations preventively on October 26, 2025, resuming them on November 1. As of December 31, 2025, Montego Bay Airport shows significant progress in the rehabilitation and acquisition of damaged equipment. The total estimated cost for repairing the facilities and replacing damaged equipment is estimated at USD $20.0 million. approximately, it is expected that they will be recovered in 2026 through the property insurance policy. The effects caused by the hurricane did not substantially affect the airport's operations, so they did not pose a risk to business continuity. In the case of Kingston Airport, the hurricane's impact was minor, so only a preventive closure of the facilities was required on October 25, resuming regular operations on October 29, 2025.
Pending Business Combination
Our historical operating results presented in this Annual Report do not reflect the Pending Business Combination described in “Item 4, Information on the Company — History and Development of the Company — Pending Business Combination” which remains subject to execution of definitive transaction agreements and satisfaction of customary closing conditions as of the date of this Annual Report. For a complete description of the Business Combination, including the transaction structure, expected share issuance, financing arrangements, and status, see “Item 4, Information on the Company — History and Development of the Company — Pending Business Combination”.
If the Business Combination is executed and consummated, our consolidated results of operations would include CBX’s revenues and operating expenses. CBX’s business is sensitive to cross-border travel patterns, U.S.-Mexico trade and immigration policies, and airline capacity and route decisions at Tijuana International Airport, besides the savings from internalization of technical assistance agreement. We have not included pro forma financial information in this Annual Report because the Business Combination has not been consummated and remains subject to conditions; however, investors should be aware that if the transaction closes, our future operating results and key performance metrics will reflect this new line of business
Financing and Indebtedness
On February 4, 2025, we issued Ps.6,000.0 million in long-term debt securities. The issuance was structured in two tranches i) Ps.3,000.0 million under the ticker symbol “GAP 25” at a variable interest rate of TIIE Funding plus 50 basis points, with principal due on February 1, 2028; and ii) Ps.3,000.0 million through the reopening of the issuance under the ticker symbol “GAP 22-2,” which pays interest every 182 days at a fixed annual rate of 9.67%, with principal due on March 4, 2032. Proceeds were allocated to repay Ps.3,000.0 million of the bond certificates issued under the ticker symbol “GAP 20,” to settle the maturity of “GAP 21” for a total amount of Ps.2,500.0 million, and to finance capital expenditures related to the MDP of our Mexican subsidiaries.
On March 31, 2025, MBJ Airports Limited (“MBJA”), extended the maturity of its USD$60.0 million revolving credit line with the Bank of Nova Scotia and the Bank of Nova Scotia Jamaica Limited to October 4, 2029. The credit line bears interest at a monthly rate equal to SOFR plus 200 basis points and will be repaid in ten equal semi-annual installments of USD$6.0 million. The extension generated a commission fee of USD$300,000.
On May 30, 2025, we entered into a five-year loan agreement with Banco Nacional de México, S.A., (“Banamex”) for Ps.3,375.0 million, bearing interest at a variable rate equal to TIIE-28 plus 54 basis points, with the principal due at maturity. Proceeds were used to repay an existing Ps.2,500.0 million loan with Banamex and a Ps.875.0 million loan with BBVA.
On August 22, 2025, we issued Ps.8,500.0 million in long-term debt securities. The issuance was structured in two tranches i) Ps.4,050.0 million under the ticker symbol “GAP 25-2” at a variable interest rate of TIIE Funding plus 48 basis points, with principal due on August 18, 2028; and ii) Ps.4,450.0 million under the ticker symbol “GAP 25-3,” which pays interest every 182 days at a fixed annual rate of 9.02%, with principal due on August 15, 2031. Proceeds were allocated to capital investments and to repay a Ps.1,500.0 million loan with Banco Santander, S.A., which matured on October 17, 2025.
On March 31, 2026, we issued Ps.10,718.0 million in long-term debt securities. The issuance was structured in two tranches i) Ps.2,767.0 million under the ticker symbol “GAP 26” at a variable interest rate of TIIE Funding plus 45 basis points, with principal due on March 27, 2029; and ii) Ps.7,951.0 million under the ticker symbol “GAP 26-2,” which pays interest every 182 days at a fixed annual rate of 9.87%, with principal due on March 18, 2036. Proceeds will be allocated to capital investments and may include the acquisition of the remaining 25% equity interest in CBX as part of our Pending Business Combination. See “Item 4, Information on the Company — History and Development of the Company — Pending Business Combination”.
Fluctuation of the Peso
In Mexico, tariffs denominated in U.S. dollars are invoiced based on the average exchange rate for the 30 days prior to the flight. If the peso has a significant depreciation during the last two months of the year, we may exceed the maximum rates permitted under our concession agreement. In such case, we would be required to issue rebates to airline customers to avoid breaching the agreement. A depreciation of the peso may have a positive effect on our revenues from both aeronautical and commercial operations, provided that we ensure our revenues do not exceed our maximum rates allowed under the concession. Conversely, an appreciation of the peso may negatively affect our revenues. Tariffs charged to international passengers and international flights, as well as certain contracts with commercial service providers, are denominated in U.S. dollars; however, invoicing and collection are made in Mexican pesos. Therefore, if the peso depreciates against the U.S. dollar, we collect more pesos, while an appreciation of the peso results in collecting fewer pesos. This dynamic may result in lower commercial revenues in the future, particularly if peso appreciation persists or surpasses historic levels. See “Item 3, Key Information – Risk Factors – Risks Related to Mexico – Depreciation or fluctuation of the peso relative to the U.S. dollar could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
The value of the peso against the U.S. dollar has fluctuated over the last three years. In 2023, it appreciated for the year and closed at Ps.16.89 per U.S. dollar on December 31. In 2024, it depreciated during the year and closed at Ps.20.27 per U.S. dollar on December 31. In 2025, it appreciated during the year and closed at Ps.17.97 per U.S. dollar on December 31. On April 10, 2026, the exchange rate was Ps.17.3023 per U.S. dollar.

Volumes in Mexico
The majority of passenger traffic at our Mexican airports consists of domestic passengers. In 2023, 2024, and 2025, approximately 64.4%, 62.3%, and 63.5%, respectively, of terminal passengers were domestic. In 2025, the number of domestic terminal passengers increased by 5.8% compared to 2024. In 2024, the total number of domestic terminal passengers decreased by 5.3% compared to 2023. Furthermore, in 2025, approximately 88.8% of international passengers traveling through our Mexican airports were on flights to or from the United States, compared to 95.0% in 2023 and 89.4% in 2024. As a result, our performance is significantly influenced by changes in the Mexican economy and, to a lesser extent, the U.S. economy, including trends affecting leisure travel and consumer spending, factors beyond our control.
In 2025, we recorded 57.4 million terminal passengers, consisting of 40.5 million domestic passengers and 16.9 million international passengers. Additionally, 121.4 thousand were on general aviation flights, and 303.9 thousand were transit passengers.
Volumes in Jamaica
Passenger traffic in Jamaica is predominantly international. In 2025, approximately 99.9% of terminal passengers using our Jamaican airports traveled internationally. In the same year, approximately 75.0% of the international passengers at Montego Bay airport were on flights to or from the United States, while approximately 62.8% of international passengers at Kingston airport were on such flights.
In 2025, MBJA handled 4.5 million terminal passengers, of which approximately 12.0 thousand were general aviation passengers and 26.3 thousand were transit passengers.
In 2025, NMIA handled 1.8 million terminal passengers, including approximately 5.2 thousand general aviation passengers and 3.3 thousand transit passengers.
Classification of Revenues
We classify our revenues into three categories: (i) aeronautical services, (ii) non-aeronautical services, and (iii) improvements to concession assets.
Revenue from aeronautical services is subject to price regulation under the maximum rates applicable at each airport. These revenues primarily consist of passenger charges, aircraft landing and parking charges, airport security charges, passenger walkway charges, leasing of space to airlines, and complementary services such as fees from handling and catering providers, permanent ground transportation operators, and fuel providers access fees.
Revenue from non-aeronautical services is not subject to price regulation under our maximum rates. These revenues generally include revenue from car parking, leasing of space to airlines and complementary service providers (for first class/VIP lounges and similar non-essential activities), rental and royalty payments from commercial tenants such as car rental agencies, food and beverage operators, retailers, and duty-free stores, as well as advertising income and miscellaneous fees, such as vending machines and timeshare developers. We also generate revenue from the recovery of costs within our non-aeronautical services.
Revenue from improvements to concession assets represents the fair value of additions and upgrades made to our concession assets under our Master Development Programs in Mexico and our Capital Development Programs in Jamaica. In exchange for undertaking these improvements, the governments of Mexico and Jamaica grant us the right to obtain benefits from services provided through these assets. These assets are recognized as intangible assets. We hire third parties through a bidding process to execute the additions and upgrades. The revenue recognized for these services equals the cost incurred for the improvements and reflects the fair value of the goods or services received. Although these revenues do not generate cash inflows, they are recorded in accordance with IFRS guidelines as they represent an exchange of dissimilar services similar to a barter transaction. These revenues have not a cash impact on our results.
For more detail on our revenue components, see “Item 4, Information on the Company – Business Overview – Our Sources of Revenue.”
For a description of the latest Mexican tariff base regulation amendment effective as of October 2023, see “Item 4, Information on the Company – Regulatory Framework – Sources of Mexican Regulation.”

(1)Revenues from complementary service providers include access fees and other charges to third parties that provide baggage handling, catering, and other services at our airports.
(2)Under the regulation applicable to our aeronautical revenues, a workload unit is equivalent to one terminal passenger or 100 kilograms (220 pounds) of cargo.
(3)In each case, as compared to the prior year.
Under our agreements with airlines, our specific tariffs are structured such that most of our aeronautical revenues are derived from passenger charges. We expect this to remain the case in future agreements. We earn passenger charges from each departing passenger at our airports (subject to specific exclusions in Mexico and Jamaica, as described under “Item 4, Information on the Company – Business Overview – Our Sources of Revenues – Aeronautical Services – Passenger Charges”). In 2023, 2024, and 2025, passenger charges represented 83.4%, 82.0%, and 82.1%, respectively, of our aeronautical services revenues, and 48.3%, 46.6%, and 45.3%, respectively, of our total revenues. In 2023, 2024, and 2025, passenger charges accounted for 63.2%, 58.5%, and 57.6%, respectively, of our combined aeronautical and non-aeronautical revenues.

Mexican Aeronautical Services Revenues
The system of price regulation applicable to our aeronautical revenues in Mexico establishes a maximum rate, denominated in pesos, for each Mexican airport for each year within a five-year period. This maximum rate represents the annual amount of revenues per workload unit that we may earn at each airport from regulated aeronautical services. On December 12, 2019, the SICT set the maximum rates applicable through December 31, 2024. These rates were later adjusted on November 27, 2020, following an Extraordinary Review Process that we requested due to the COVID-19 pandemic and its effects on our operations. On August 27, 2024, the SICT approved our Master Development Programs for each of our Mexican airports for the 2025-2029 period. The new five-year program took effect on January 1, 2025, and will remain in effect through December 31, 2029. See Item 4, “Information on the Company – Regulatory Framework – Mexican Aeronautical Services Regulation,” and Item 4, “Special Adjustments to Maximum Rates” for a description of our maximum rates and the rate-setting procedures for future periods.
Our Mexican concessions require that our maximum rates be adjusted annually based on the efficiency factor and inflation. See “Item 4, Information on the Company – Regulatory Framework – Mexican Aeronautical Revenues Regulation – Methodology for Determining Future Maximum Rates.” Under the regulatory system applicable to our Mexican aeronautical revenues, we may adjust the specific tariffs for each category of aeronautical services every six months (or more frequently, if accumulated inflation since the last adjustment exceeds 5%), provided that total aeronautical revenues per workload unit at each airport do not exceed the maximum rate established for that airport in that
year. Although the SICT may, in some circumstances, authorize an increase in our maximum rates, we must negotiate with our principal airline customers the specific tariffs applicable to each aeronautical activity. As a result, we cannot always set tariffs as the maximum levels permitted.
Aeronautical revenue per workload unit is calculated by dividing total aeronautical revenues by total workload units for a given period. This indicator is affected annually, except in years when new maximum tariffs are established, by:
•Adjustments to maximum rates based on the efficiency factor and the Mexican PPI, excluding petroleum;
•Changes in the relative number of workload units by airport; and
•Changes in total workload units per airport.
From January 1, 2020, to December 31, 2024, the applicable efficiency factor was 0.70%. Beginning January 1, 2025, and through December 31, 2029, the applicable efficiency factor for our Mexican airports increased to 0.80%. The Mexican PPI excluding petroleum increased by 0.8% in 2023, 7.4% in 2024, and 1.8% in 2025. Our weighted average maximum tariffs, as adjusted by the efficiency factor and the Mexican PPI, excluding petroleum decreased by 0.8% and 0.3% in 2023 and 2024, respectively, and increase by 18.1% in 2025, this last considers the tariff increased applicable across the year 2025. The total workload units at our Mexican airports were 58.8 million in 2023, 57.8 million in 2024, and 59.9 million in 2025, representing an increase of 10.5% in 2023, a decrease of 1.7% in 2024, and an increase of 3.7% in 2025.
Accordingly, aeronautical revenue per workload unit fluctuates depending on the relative movements of these factors. In 2023, aeronautical revenues per workload unit were Ps.280.4, representing an increase of 1.3%. In 2024, aeronautical revenues per workload unit were Ps.279.4, representing a decrease of 0.3%. In 2025, aeronautical revenues per workload unit were Ps.329.9 representing an increase of 18.1%.
Historically, we have set tariffs for regulated services at our Mexican airports as close as possible to the maximum rates allowed in any given year. We expect to continue this pricing strategy in the future. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to collect all revenues we are entitled under the applicable regulatory framework or that we will not be sanctioned if we exceed any maximum rates. In prior years, when the possibility of exceeding the maximum rate at a particular airport arose, we have taken actions in the latter part of the year, including reducing our specific tariffs and offering discounts or rebates, to ensure compliance with the applicable maximum rate. For risks related to our ability to set specific tariffs, see “Item 3, Key Information – Risk Factors – Risks Related to the Regulation of Our Business – We provide a public service regulated by the governments of Mexico and Jamaica, and our flexibility in managing our aeronautical activities is limited by the regulatory environments in which we operate” and “Item 3, Key Information – Risk Factors – Risks Related to the Regulation of Our Business – If we exceed the maximum rate at any Mexican airport at the end of any year, we could be subject to sanctions.”
Jamaican Aeronautical Revenues
In Jamaica, revenues from passenger charges, aircraft landing and parking charges, airport security charges, and passenger walkway charges are regulated by the JCAA under a price cap mechanism that establishes maximum rates in U.S. dollars for five-year regulatory periods. The JCAA must authorize any increase in these regulated charges, which apply to both of our Jamaican airports. See “Item 4, Information on the Company – Business Overview – Our Sources of Revenue – Aeronautical Services.”
For MBJA, airport fees were originally established under the concession agreement dated April 12, 2003. Regulated aeronautical fees are reviewed every five years, and the revenue per passenger yield applicable to the 2020-2024 period became effective on January 1, 2020. Passenger and other aeronautical fees increased by 1.5%, 3.2%, and 3.6%, respectively, in 2023, 2024, and 2025.
For NMIA, the maximum rates applicable to the 2020-2024 period became effective on April 1, 2020. Regulated aeronautical fees are also reviewed every five years. In 2023, 2024, and 2025, aeronautical fees (landing, parking, and bridge) remained unchanged, while passenger and security fees increased by 7.0%.
On July 26, 2024, amendments to the concession contracts for both Montego Bay and Kingston airports were announced. These amendments, arising from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the concessionaires, include (i) for Montego Bay airport, an extension of the concession period to 31 years from the original contract start date, resulting in an expiration in March 2034; and (ii) for Kingston airport, a reduction in the monthly concession fee from 62.01% to 53.22%, effective retroactively from September 11, 2023 through the end of the concession term.
On June 6, 2025, the JCAA approved the regulated aeronautical tariffs applicable to both MBJA and NMIA for the 2026-2030 regulatory period.
See “Item 4, Information on the Company – Regulatory Framework – Jamaican Aeronautical Services Regulation” for a description of MBJA’s and PACKAL’s maximum regulated charges and the procedures for setting them for future periods.
Non-Aeronautical Services Revenues
Non-aeronautical services have historically generated a smaller portion of our total revenues compared to aeronautical services. Non-aeronautical revenues represented 18.6%, 22.8%, and 23.4% of total revenues in 2023, 2024, and 2025, respectively. Non-aeronautical revenues per terminal passenger were Ps.97.1, Ps.123.4, and Ps.152.3 in 2023, 2024, and 2025, respectively. None of our non-aeronautical revenues are subject to price regulation under our maximum-rate price regulation system.
Our revenues from non-aeronautical services are primarily derived from commercial activities. We divide non-aeronautical commercial activities into (i) revenues from businesses operated by third parties and (ii) revenues from businesses operated directly by us. Businesses operated by third parties include (i) leasing of space in our airports to airlines and complementary service providers (for first class/VIP lounges and similar non-essential activities), (ii) rental and royalty payments from commercial service providers, including timeshare developers, retailers, food and beverage providers, car rental agencies, and duty-free store operators, and (iii) fees collected from other miscellaneous sources, such as vending machines. Businesses operated directly by us include car parking, advertising, VIP lounges, convenience stores, and hotel operation. Since July 1, 2024, we have also recognized revenues from handling, storage, and custody services in bonded warehouse facilities. Additionally, we derive revenues from the recovery of costs, which are included in our non-aeronautical revenues.
The following table sets forth our revenues from non-aeronautical services for the years indicated:

(2)Recovery of costs consists of utility, fuel, maintenance, and operation charges that are transferred to airlines and other tenants.
During 2023, 2024, and 2025, non-aeronautical revenues were Ps.6,165.4 million, Ps.7,671.8 million, and Ps.9,704.2 million, respectively, representing increases of 18.6% in 2023, 24.4% in 2024, and 26.5% in 2025. While we expect aeronautical revenues to continue representing the majority of our future revenues, we currently estimate that the growth rate of revenues from commercial activities will likely exceed the growth rate of aeronautical revenues, except in years when maximum tariffs are reset.
Non-aeronautical revenues per terminal passenger increased from Ps.123.4 in 2024 to Ps.152.3 in 2025, representing an increase of 23.5%. This increase resulted from the expansion of terminal buildings, the commercial strategy implemented during the year, as well as the consolidation, since July 1, 2024, of revenues from handling, storage, and custody services in bonded warehouse facilities. Although terminal passengers increased by only 2.5% in 2025, non-aeronautical services increased by 26.5%.
Non-aeronautical revenues per terminal passenger represent the average revenue generated by the commercial areas of our airports and are calculated by dividing total non-aeronautical revenues by the number of terminal passengers during the same period. As a result, if non-aeronautical revenues decline proportionately less than the number of terminal passengers, non-aeronautical revenues per terminal passenger will increase even when non-aeronautical revenues decrease. Non-aeronautical revenues per terminal passenger are principally affected by:
•the commercial offer available at our airports;
•opening of new commercial spaces;
•the level of passenger traffic; and
•the exchange rate between the Mexican peso and the U.S. dollar, which affects our U.S. dollar-denominated contracts (primarily with timeshare developers, car rental agencies, duty-free operators, and certain food and beverages, and retail tenants).
Certain categories of non-aeronautical revenues are directly impacted by passenger traffic (such as car parking, rental, and food and beverage sales) while others are not (such as leasing of space, for which we collect at least a minimum fixed rent indexed to inflation each year, plus any royalty-based payments). Accordingly, non-aeronautical revenues do not always move in line with passenger traffic or workload units.
Approximately 98.3% of the contracts with third-party tenants that can be structured on a royalty basis have already been executed as such, representing approximately 52.5% of our total non-aeronautical revenues. Under a royalty-based contract, the amount tenants must pay is based on their revenues, subject to a minimum guaranteed fixed amount determined by the square footage of the leased space. When royalty-based payments fall below the minimum guaranteed amount, the tenant must still pay the latter. Therefore, a decrease in passenger traffic would reduce non-aeronautical revenues from such tenants only if, prior to that decrease, tenants’ sales were above the minimum guaranteed amount. As a result, during periods in lower passenger traffic, non-aeronautical revenues may remain stable due to the minimum guaranteed amounts, potentially increasing non-aeronautical revenues per workload unit.
Recognition of Revenues from Improvements to Concession Assets
IFRIC 12 requires, subject to certain conditions, that infrastructure subject to a service concession agreement not be recognized as property, plant, and equipment. It also requires that revenues obtained when the operator performs construction or upgrade services and operating services under a single concession be recognized separately, based on the fair value of the consideration received when each service is rendered. We recognize revenues and the associated costs of improvements to concession assets in connection with the obligations established in the Master Development Programs in Mexico and the Capital Development Program in Jamaica. Revenues represent the value of the exchange between us and the respective government, whereby we construct or provide improvements to the airports as required under these programs, and in exchange, the respective government grants us the right to obtain benefits from services provided using those assets, which are recognized as intangible assets. We have determined that our obligations under the Master Development Programs in Mexico and the Capital Development Program in Jamaica constitute revenue-earning activities, as all expenditures incurred to fulfill these programs are included in the tariffs. Accordingly, we recognize the related revenue and expense in profit or loss when the expenditures are incurred. The cost of such additions and improvements to concession assets is based on the actual costs incurred in executing the additions or improvements, consistent with the investment requirements of the Master Development Programs and the Capital Development Program.
We engage third parties through competitive bidding processes to carry out these construction activities. Revenues for these services equal the costs incurred, as no profit margin is earned on construction services. All amounts reflect market value. As a result, revenues from improvements to concession assets have not cash and are not directly related to passenger traffic, which is the main driver of our revenues. In 2023, we recognized Ps.7,791.3 million in revenues from improvements to concession assets, an increase of 60.8% compared to 2022. In 2024, we recognized Ps.6,832.5 million, a decrease of 12.3% compared to 2023. In 2025, we recognized Ps.8,882.7 million, an increase of 30.0% compared to 2024.

(5)Under the regulation applicable to our aeronautical revenues, a workload unit is equivalent to one terminal passenger or 100 kilograms (220 pounds) of cargo.
(6)Cost of services divided by the sum of aeronautical and non-aeronautical revenues, expressed as a percentage.
Cost of Services
Our cost of services includes employee costs, maintenance, safety, security, insurance costs, and utilities (of which a portion is recovered from tenants), and other operating expenses. The cost of services per workload unit is calculated by dividing the cost of services by total workload units for a given period. This metric is influenced each year by variations in the individual components of the cost of services and by changes in the relative number of workload units. Accordingly, when cost of services increases at a slower rate that workload units, the cost of
service per workload unit decreases. Similarly, when cost of services remain stable but workload units decline, the cost per workload unit increases.
Our cost of services per workload unit was Ps.66.4 in 2023, Ps.81.1 in 2024, and Ps.97.6 in 2025, representing an increase of 22.2% from 2023 to 2024 and an increase of 20.3% from 2024 to 2025. In 2025, the cost of services increased by 23.3%, or Ps.1,227.5 million, while total workload units increased by 2.4%. This increase in cost of services was primarily driven by a Ps.451.5 million increase in employee costs, Ps.407.8 million in maintenance, and an increase of Ps.257.4 million in other operative expenses. At our Mexican airports, cost of services increased by Ps.1,198.5 million, or 27.7%, mainly due to increases of Ps.425.0 million in employee cost, Ps.374.9 million in maintenance, Ps.260.6 million in other operative expenses, Ps.69.8 million in safety, security and insurance, and Ps.68.2 million in utilities. At our Jamaican airports, cost of services increased by Ps.77.3 million, or 8.7%, mainly due increases of Ps.32.9 million in maintenance, Ps.26.5 million in employee costs, and Ps.25.8 million in safety, security and insurance. This was partially offset by a decrease in Ps.4.7 million in utilities.
Our operating margin, calculated as income from operations divided by aeronautical and non-aeronautical revenues decreased by 220 basis points from 56.2% in 2024 to 54.0% in 2025, mainly as a result of an increase in the cost of services.
Technical Assistance Fees
Technical Assistance Fees in Mexico
Under the technical assistance agreement, AMP provides us with management and consulting services, technical assistance, and technological and industry expertise in exchange for a fee. This agreement is described in greater detail in Item 7. Since January 1, 2002, the fee has been equal to the greater of U.S.$4.0 million, adjusted annually for U.S. inflation, and 5% of our annual consolidated income from operations, defined as earnings before interest income or expense, prior to deducting the technical assistance fee, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and in each case determined in accordance with MFRS. The technical assistance fee is a component of our maximum tariffs and is collected through the maximum tariffs we charge. In 2023, 2024, and 2025, this fee was Ps.851.3 million, Ps.845.2 million, and Ps.971.7 million, respectively.
Upon completion of the Pending Business Combination described in “Item 4, Information on the Company — History and Development of the Company — Pending Business Combination”, the technical assistance agreement will terminate and we will no longer pay the technical assistance fee described above.
Technical Assistance Fees in Jamaica
Neither MBJA nor NMIA has a technical assistance agreement with third parties.
Concession Taxes
Mexican Concession Tax
The Company is subject to the Federal Law on Rights (Ley Federal de Derechos) in Mexico, which requires each Mexican airport to pay a concession fee to the Federal Government equivalent to 5% of the annual gross revenues (excluding revenues from improvements to concession assets) derived from the use of public domain assets pursuant to the terms of its concession. As of January 1, 2024, this percentage increased to 9% by a decree issued by the Federal Government. The concession tax rate may vary from year to year as determined solely by the Mexican Federal Congress, and there is no assurance that the rate will not increase in the future. If the concession tax rate is increased, we are entitled to request a corresponding increase in our maximum rates from the SICT; however, there can be no assurance that the SICT will approve such request.
In 2023, 2024, and 2025, this tax amounted to Ps.1,014.5 million, Ps.1,163.3 million, and Ps.2,309.3 million, respectively.
Jamaican Concession Fees
Under the terms of the Concession Agreement and the applicable tax legislation, MBJA is required to pay to the Jamaican government a monthly concession fee per workload unit for the right to use and develop the assets subject to the concession. In addition, MBJA must pay an additional concession fee equal to 45% of any revenues earned in excess of the forecast revenues established in the Concession Agreement. This additional concession fee is calculated for the period from April to March each year and is payable annually.
The Concession Agreement further provides that once a 25% cumulative annualized internal rate of return hurdle (“IRR Hurdle”), measured from the date of the first equity contribution to the concessionaire, is reached, any equity distributions above the IRR Hurdle made to MBJA’s shareholders must be matched by an equal payment to the AAJ, as owner of the concession assets (the “Excess Benefit Payment”). Equity distributions include any dividend, capital reduction, interest, fee, loan, or other payment to MBJA’s shareholders. As of December 2025, MBJA had not reached IRR hurdle; the aggregate IRR as of that date was 18.3%.
The concession fee for 2023 was U.S.$3.48 per workload unit served. In 2023, monthly and annual concession fees totaled Ps.784.8 million. The concession fee for 2024 increased to U.S.$3.60 per workload unit served, and total monthly and annual concession fees for that year amounted to Ps.837.9 million. For 2025, total monthly and annual concession fees amounted to Ps.717.3 million.
The additional concession fees for the periods ending March 2024, March 2025 and March 2026 were U.S.$30.5 million, U.S.$26.1 million, and U.S.$15.5 million, respectively.
Under the terms of the NMIA Concession Agreement and the applicable tax legislation, PACKAL is required to pay the Jamaican government a monthly concession fee equal to 53.22% of total aeronautical and non-aeronautical revenues based on NMIA’s gross revenues, except for certain cost recovery allowances.
For 2023, 2024, and 2025, PACKAL paid Ps.733.6 million, Ps.665.6 million, and Ps.791.1 million in concession fees, respectively.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and Amortization of Mexican Assets
Our depreciation and amortization expenses primarily reflect the amortization of our investment in our twelve Mexican concessions, which we began amortizing for accounting purposes in August 1999, the date on which the value of our concessions was determined based on the value assigned by AMP to our Series BB shares as part of its winning bid to acquire its 15% interest in us. In addition, we write-off the value of certain fixed assets we acquire or build at our Mexican airports pursuant to the investment requirements under our Master Development Programs when such assets are superseded by new investments. In 2023 and, 2024, these write-offs totaled Ps.35.1 million and, Ps.0.1 million, respectively, in 2025 we do not have write-offs.
Depreciation and Amortization of Jamaican Assets
Our depreciation and amortization expenses in Jamaica primarily reflect the amortization of our investment in our Jamaican airports, including the value of certain fixed assets acquired pursuant to the investment requirements under their respective Capital Development Programs. Depreciation and amortization also include the amortization of the fair value of the MBJA and NMIA concessions. For further information regarding depreciation and amortization expenses, refer to Notes 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11 to our audited consolidated financial statements.
Cost of Improvements to Concession Assets
In compliance with our Master Development Programs in Mexico and the Capital Development Program in Jamaica, we invest in additions and upgrades to our concession assets. These investments are reflected according to IFRIC 12. Because we hire third parties to provide construction and upgrade services, and we do not recognize a premium on the cost of services, our revenues from improvements to concession assets are equal to the cost of improvements to concession assets, such that the application of IFRIC 12 does not have a cash impact on our results.
Taxation
We and each of our subsidiaries pay taxes on an individual (rather than a consolidated) basis.
Our effective tax rates in 2023, 2024, and 2025 were 24.1%, 26.7%, and 29.1%, respectively.
In 2025, our effective tax rate increased 240 basis points compared to 2024, resulting from a Ps.823.2 million increase in our current tax expense. This increase was offset by a Ps.49.7 million decrease in deferred income tax benefits, driven mainly by less application of fiscal losses by Ps.257.0 million and decrease in inflation, which went from 4.2% in 2024 to 3.7% in 2025.
In 2024, our effective tax rate increased 260 basis points compared to 2023, resulting from a Ps.373.0 million increase in our current tax expense. This increase was offset by a Ps.204.6 million decrease in deferred income tax benefits driven mainly by the application of fiscal losses by Ps.525.7 million and the application of other deferred taxes of Ps.189.8 million. This effect was offset by the decrease in inflation, which went from 4.7% in 2023 to 4.2% in 2024.
In 2023, our effective tax rate decreased 110 basis points compared to 2022, resulting from a Ps.233.0 million decrease in our current tax expense. This decrease was offset by a Ps.214.8 million decrease in deferred income tax benefits due to lower inflation. The inflation rate in Mexico decreased from 7.8% in 2022 to 4.7% in 2023.
In terms of cash flows, we paid Ps.4,501.9 million, Ps.3,474.7 million, and Ps.4,744.7 in corporate taxes in 2023, 2024, and 2025, respectively, representing 35.3%, 28.7%, and 33.6% of our earnings before taxes.
Taxation in Mexico
In 2014, the Mexican federal income tax rate was set at 30%. This rate applies to all of our Mexican entities, except for those whose operations are located on the Mexican side of the border with the United States. These entities are subject to a 20% income tax rate under the Decree for Fiscal Incentives in the Northern Border Region (Decreto de Estímulos Fiscales Región Fronteriza Norte). On December 24, 2025, the Mexican government published a decree in the Official Gazette extending the applicability of the 20% income tax rate through December 31, 2026.
We regularly review our deferred tax assets for recoverability. These assets are reduced as necessary to the extent that a future tax benefit is no longer probable. This is based on analyzing of historical taxable income, projected future taxable income, and the expected timing of the reversal of existing temporary differences. In addition, Mexican tax law allows Mexican companies to utilize tax amortization rates lower than the maximum allowable rates to modify their tax amortization rates every five years without exceeding the maximum permissible rate. Beginning in 2000, we utilized rates lower than the 15% maximum allowable rate to amortize our airport concessions and rights to use airport facilities for tax purposes.
We had determined that the overall minimum tax payable under the Pillar 2 model of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development’s Inclusive Framework on Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (Pillar 2 income taxes) falls within the regulatory framework of IAS 12 Income Taxes.
Taxation in Jamaica
Jamaican companies, including our Jamaican airports, are required to pay corporate income tax on taxable profits, employer taxes on certain employee costs, and a value-added tax on services offered.
Corporate income tax is applicable on taxable profit at a rate of 25%, but taxable profit may be reduced by an employer tax credit of up to the total amount of employer and certain obligatory employee taxes timely paid during any fiscal year. However, this employer tax credit is clawed back if dividends are paid to shareholders in subsequent fiscal years based on a prescribed formula. In 2023, 2024, and 2025, our Jamaican airports incurred U.S.$16.8 million (Ps.299.1 million), U.S.$16.7 million (Ps.305.0 million), and U.S.$16.2 million (Ps.311 million), respectively, in corporate income tax liabilities.
Employee Profit-Sharing
Employee Profit-Sharing in Mexico
We are subject to the statutory employee profit-sharing regime established under the Mexican Federal Labor Law (Ley Federal del Trabajo). Under this regime, 10% of each unconsolidated company’s annual profits (as calculated for tax purposes) must be distributed among its employees other than its chief executive officer. Profit sharing is calculated by adjusting the year’s taxable income by the income tax for that year as amended by certain provisions. As a result of the 2021 Labor Reform, the employee profit-sharing distribution is capped at three months’ employee salary or the average distribution made over the previous three years, whichever is higher. Therefore, the effective payment for this concept is significantly less than the established percentage.
Employee Profit-Sharing in Jamaica
Our Jamaican airports are not subject to a profit-sharing regime.
Employee Retirement Plans
Employee Retirement Plans in Mexico
Under Mexican legislation, we must make payments equivalent to 2% of our workers’ comprehensive daily salary to a defined contribution plan that is part of the retirement savings system. This expense amounted to Ps.15.9 million in 2023, Ps.25.0 million in 2024, and Ps.37.2 million in 2025.
Employee Retirement Plans in Jamaica
MBJA participates in a defined contribution pension scheme, the assets of which are held in a separate fund administered by trustees and a fund Administrator. Under this contribution pension scheme, MBJA pays fixed percentage contributions to the fund, which are funded by payments from employees and the company. MBJA’s contributions are charged to the statement of comprehensive income for the year to which they relate. This expense amounted to Ps.3.2 million in 2023, Ps.3.1 million in 2024, and Ps.3.3 million in 2025.
As of October 10, 2020, PACKAL participates in a defined contribution pension scheme, given that all employees are permanent. The pension assets are held in an approved retirement scheme. Under this contribution pension scheme, PACKAL pays fixed percentage contributions to the fund, which are funded by payments from employees and the company. PACKAL’s contributions are charged to the statement of comprehensive income for the year to which they relate. This expense amounted to Ps.2.3 million in 2023, Ps.2.4 million in 2024, and Ps.2.5 million in 2025.
Effects of Devaluation and Inflation

(1)Based on changes in the rates for calculating foreign exchange liabilities, as reported by the Mexican Central Bank (Banco de México), at the end of each period, which were as follows: Ps.16.8935 per U.S.$1.00 as of December 31, 2023, Ps.20.2683 per U.S.$1.00 as of December 31, 2024, and Ps.17.9667 per U.S.$1.00 as of December 31, 2025.
(2)Based on changes in the Mexican CPI from the previous period, as reported by INEGI, the Mexican CPI at year-end was 132.373 in 2023, 137.949 in 2024, and 143.042 in 2025.
(3)As reported by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
(4)Estimated as reported by INEGI.
The general condition of the Mexican economy, changes in the value of the peso as compared to the U.S. dollar, inflation, and high-interest rates have in the past adversely affected, and may in the future adversely affect, our:
•Depreciation and amortization expense. According to IFRS, if inflation rates over a three-year period approach or exceed 100.0%, the incorporation of inflation into an entity’s financial statements becomes necessary. Therefore, non-monetary assets would be restated, and as a result, the depreciation and amortization of those assets would be higher, negatively affecting our net profit.
•Passenger charges. Passenger charges for international passengers are currently denominated in U.S. dollars but are invoiced and collected in pesos. Meanwhile, passenger charges for domestic passengers are denominated in pesos. Consequently, an appreciation of the peso against the U.S. dollar could cause declines in our revenues from passenger charges for international passengers and, consequently, in our aeronautical revenues. This would also produce a decrease in peso-denominated revenues when compared with the previous year because our tariffs for the services we provide to international flights or international passengers are denominated in U.S. dollars but are generally invoiced and paid for in Mexican pesos based on the average exchange rate for the month prior to each flight on which the charge is incurred.
•Finance income (cost). As required by IFRS, our finance income (cost) reflects gains or losses from foreign exchange and gains and losses from interest earned or incurred, and as a consequence, a depreciation or appreciation of the peso would impact the finance income (cost).
•Maximum rates in pesos. Our tariffs for the services we provide in our Mexican airports to international flights or international passengers are denominated in U.S. dollars. However, they are generally invoiced and paid in Mexican pesos based on the average exchange rate for the month prior to each flight. During 2023, 2024, and 2025, we collected passenger charges from airlines for an average period of 63, 62, and 67 days, respectively. We intend to charge prices as close as possible to the maximum rates we can charge. Since we are usually only entitled to adjust our specific prices once every six months (or earlier upon a cumulative increase of 5% in the Mexican PPI, excluding petroleum), a depreciation of the peso compared to the U.S. dollar, particularly late in the year, could cause us to exceed the maximum rates at one or more of our airports, possibly leading to the termination of one of our Mexican concessions if it is repeated and sanctioned by the SICT at least two times. If any of our Mexican concessions is terminated, our other Mexican concessions may also be terminated. In addition, if the peso appreciates as compared to the U.S.
dollar, we may underestimate the specific prices we can charge for regulated services. We may also be unable to adjust our prices upwards to maximize our regulated revenues.
•Non-aeronautical revenues. In addition, some of our non-aeronautical revenue contracts are denominated and invoiced in U.S. dollars; however, some of them are collected in Mexican pesos. Consequently, an appreciation of the peso against the U.S. dollar would cause declines in our revenues from these U.S. dollar-denominated contracts.
Results of Operations by Subsidiary
Historically, our most profitable airports have been our Guadalajara, Los Cabos, Montego Bay, and Puerto Vallarta international airports, which handle the majority of our international passengers. In 2023 and 2024, our Guanajuato and Los Mochis airports, respectively, had the highest percentage increase in passenger traffic. In 2025, our Mexicali airport had the highest percentage increase in passenger traffic, with an increase of 23.0% compared to 2024.
We determine profitability per airport by dividing income from operations at each airport by total revenues. Operating margins at our Tijuana airport historically have been lower than at our other principal airports. This is because the maximum rates applicable to aeronautical services provided at our Tijuana airport are lower than those applicable to our other principal airports. This results from the amortization of our concession relative to the level of revenues being much higher at our Tijuana airport than at our other principal airports. This is because the original concession value assigned to Tijuana International Airport was proportionately higher.
The following table sets forth our results of operations for the years indicated for each of our principal airports and our other subsidiaries:

Results of Operations for the Year ended December 31, 2025 Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2024
Revenues
Total revenues increased 23.2% from Ps.33,614.4 million in 2024 to Ps.41,408.5 million in 2025. This results from increase in aeronautical revenues mainly attributable to the implementation of the new maximum tariffs, the increase in non-aeronautical revenues resulting from the commercial strategy and the consolidation of the cargo and bonded warehouse facilities. The total revenue increase was comprised of an increase of Ps.3,711.8 million, or 19.4%, in aeronautical services revenues, an increase of Ps.2,032.3 million, or 26.5%, in non-aeronautical revenues, and a increase of Ps.2,050.1 million, or 30.0%, in revenues from improvements to concession assets, which increased as a result of the committed investments outlined in our Master Development Programs.
Aeronautical Services Revenues
Aeronautical services revenues increased by Ps.3,711.8 million, or 19.4%, from Ps.19,110.1 million in 2024 to Ps.22,821.8 million in 2025.
Aeronautical services revenues at our Mexican airports increased Ps.3,624.3 million, or 22.5%, primarily due to an increase in revenues from passenger charges of Ps.3,042.8 million, or 21.9%, due to the implementation of approved maximum tariffs for the period 2025-2029. Revenues from aircraft landing and parking fees in our Mexican airports increased by Ps.321.1 million, or 20.5%, while revenues from the leasing of space to airlines for ticket counters, airport security, and complementary services increased by Ps.96.5 million, or 13.08%.
Aeronautical services revenues at our Jamaican airports increased by Ps.87.4 million, or 2.9%, compared to 2024. However, revenues in U.S. dollars decreased by US$3.3 million, or 2.0%, primarily due to the impact of the hurricane and the resulting decrease in operations; this was offset by the depreciation of the peso against the dollar compared to 2024 of 5.1%, which went from an average exchange rate of Ps.18.3001 in 2024 to Ps.19.2324 in 2025, increasing the reported revenue in pesos for 2025.
Non-Aeronautical Services Revenues
Non-aeronautical services revenues increased by Ps.2,032.3 million, or 26.5%, from Ps.7,671.8 million in 2024 to Ps.9,704.1 million in 2025. This growth was mainly driven by the consolidation of the cargo and bonded warehouse facilities beginning in July 2024, the opening of new commercial areas, and the renegotiation of current contracts with tenants.
Non-aeronautical services revenues at our Mexican airports increased by Ps.1,981.3 million, or 29.9%, compared to 2024. Revenues from businesses operated directly by us in our Mexican airports increased by Ps.1,630.0 million, or 58.1%, primarily driven by the consolidation of the cargo and bonded warehouse business, which increased by Ps. 1,170.1 million, or 167.2%, reflecting six months of contribution since July 2024 and a full year of operations in 2025, higher revenues from vip lounges, convenience store and hotel operation, which together contributed Ps.353.2 million. Revenues from businesses operated by third parties increased Ps.341.7 million, or 9.4%, primarily driven by higher revenues from food and beverage operations, retail, car rental, and other commercial revenue, which jointly increased by Ps.288 million, or 76.7%.
Non-aeronautical services revenues from our Jamaican airports increased by Ps.51.0 million, or 4.9%, compared to 2024. The business lines that increased the most were leasing of space, car rental, food and beverage operations,which together increased by Ps.36.3 million, or 71.1%.

Revenues from improvements to concession assets increased by Ps.2,050.2 million, or 30.0%, from Ps.6,832.5 million in 2024 to Ps.8,882.7 million in 2025. These revenues are determined by the committed investments established under our Master Development Programs in Mexico and our Capital Development Programs in Jamaica. For 2025, the principal commitments for improvements to concession assets included: building of a taxiway, new parking building and roads at the Guadalajara airport, rehabilitation of taxiway in Puerto Vallarta airport, the rehabilitation of the runway and SSEI building at the Bajío Airport, the expansion of the New Transit Processing Building at the Tijuana Airport, the expansion, remodeling, and reconfiguration of Terminal 2, and the expansion of the platform at San José del Cabo Airport, the expansion of the terminal building in Mexicali and the, expansion of the taxiway of the Kingston Airports as well as the expansion of the terminal at the Montego Bay airport.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Historically, the cash flow generated from our operations has generally been used to fund operating costs, and the excess of our cash flow has been added to our accumulated cash and cash equivalents in our consolidated statements of financial position. For information regarding our estimated committed investments and sources of liquidity for those commitments, see “Item 4, Information on the Company – History and Development of the Company – Master Development Programs.”
As of December 31, 2023, 2024, and 2025, we had Ps.10,055.2 million, Ps.13,466.0 million, and Ps.10,453.2 million, respectively, of cash and cash equivalents. We recorded no financial investments held for trading purposes as of December 31, 2023, 2024, and 2025.
During 2025, we have debt securities under the ticker symbol “GAP-15” for Ps.1.5 billion and “GAP-20” for Ps.3.0 billion due in February, which as the date of this report has already been paid, and “GAP-21” for Ps.2.5 billion due in May, a loan with Citibanamex for US$40.0 million due in September 2025, a loan with Santander for Ps.1.5 billion due in November 2025 and a loan with BBVA México for Ps.875.0 million due in July 2025. See “Item 5, Recent Developments –Indebtedness – Indebtedness in Mexico.”
We anticipate that we will be able to meet our financial and operational obligations with our current cash flow from operations and working capital. For information regarding our estimated committed investments and sources of liquidity for those commitments, see“Item 4, Information on the Company – History and Development of the Company – Master Development Programs – Estimated Committed Investments by Mexican Airport (2025-2029).”
As described in “Item 4, Information on the Company — History and Development of the Company — Pending Business Combination” we expect to finance the approximately U.S.$487.5 million cash consideration payable in connection with the acquisition of the remaining 25% interest in CBX through resources obtained in the debt market in Mexico, with the issuance of Bond Certificates on March 31, 2026 for Ps. 10,718.0 million.
This financing would increase our consolidated indebtedness by approximately U.S.$600 million and increase our leverage ratios from approximately 2.0x Net debt EBITDA as of December 31, 2025 to approximately 2.1x Net debt EBITDA on a pro forma basis. The additional debt service obligations may reduce our financial flexibility and increase our exposure to interest rate risk.
There can be no assurance that financing will be obtained on the terms currently contemplated or at all.
Cash Flows
Cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2024
Cash and cash equivalents decreased by Ps.3,012.8 million, or 22.4%, from Ps.13,466.0 million in 2024 to Ps. 10,453.2 million in 2025, mainly due to (i) a (net) issuance of Ps.4,626.6 million of long-term debt securities in an aggregate principal amount of Ps. 14,500.0 million; (ii) an increase of Ps.1,575.4 million in net cash flows provided by operating activities as a result of the increased of Non-aeronautical services revenues, offset by (i) increase of Ps. 3,486.1 million in net cash used in investment activities and (ii) increase in the interests paid on financial loans of Ps.748.2 million.

Capital Expenditures in Mexico
Under the terms of our Mexican concessions, each of our Mexican subsidiary concession holders is required to present a Master Development Program for approval by the SICT every five years. Each Master Development Program includes investment commitments (including capital expenditures and improvements) applicable to us as the concession holder for the succeeding five-year period. Once approved by the SICT, these commitments become binding obligations under the terms of our Mexican concessions. In December 2019, the SICT approved our Master Development Programs for each of our Mexican airports for the 2020 to 2024 period. This five-year program was in effect from January 1, 2020, until December 31, 2024. On August 27, 2024, the SICT approved our Master Development Programs for each of our Mexican airports for the 2025-2029 period. This five-year program took effect on January 1, 2025, and will remain in effect through December 31, 2029.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we delayed certain non-mandatory capital investments and during the month of August 2020, we filed a proposal for an Extraordinary Review Process of our Master Development Program with the SICT in response to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operations. The adjustments to our Master Development Program approved as a result of this Extraordinary Review Process and announced on November 30, 2020, resulted in the postponement of investments by approximately 20 months. As such, certain investments that were scheduled to conclude in 2024 will now conclude in 2026.
The table below sets forth our historical capital expenditures in Mexico. Capital expenditures are calculated on a cash flow basis, meaning that capital expenditures are equal to those investments actually paid for by each airport during a given year and do not include investments for which the airport made allocations but did not pay during the given year. The investments shown in the table below, therefore, reflect expenditures actually paid for by our airports for the years indicated. In order to be compared with our committed investments for a given year, the investments made in the previous year but paid for in the given year need to be subtracted, while the investments allocated but not paid for in the given year need to be added. For 2023, 2024, and 2025, the total of our investments allocated but unpaid were Ps.901.5 million, Ps.1,193.6 million, and Ps.1,578.5 million, respectively.

Every five years, MBJA is entitled to submit to the JCAA its proposal for increases to the maximum regulated charges and investment commitments (including capital expenditures for capital projects and required improvements at the Montego Bay airport under MBJA’s Concession Agreement). Upon the JCAA’s approval of the new maximum regulated charges, these commitments become binding obligations under the terms of MBJA’s concession. The maximum regulated charges are determined by the JCAA based on traffic projections, operating costs and capital investments included in the new Capital Development Program. Under the terms of MBJA’s Concession Agreement with the AAJ, these committed capital investments must be met over a five-year period and not on an annual basis. On September 11, 2019, the JCAA approved new maximum regulated charges for the Montego Bay airport that assume capital investments (including scheduled maintenance) for the period from January 1, 2020, through December 31, 2024, estimated to cost approximately U.S.$111.7 million. The new maximum rates for the five-year period from 2020-2024 went into effect on January 1, 2020. In December 2020, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and its economic impact, the AAJ granted MBJA a deferral on its committed investments for 2020 so that these investments can begin in January 2022. In 2021, MBJA requested a further deferral to execute the Capital Development Program until we reach an agreement with the AAJ for the rebalancing petition filed in December 2020. This process was concluded on July 26, 2024.

Item 6. Directors, Senior Management and Employees
Directors
The Board of Directors is responsible for managing our business. According to our bylaws, our Board of Directors must consist of eleven members, with at least 25% being independent, as established by the Mexican Securities Market Law. The independence of directors is determined by shareholders at each Annual General Ordinary Shareholders’ Meeting, based on our bylaws and relevant Mexican laws. However, the National Banking and Securities Commission may object to such designation of independence. Currently, our board of directors comprises eleven members.
Under our bylaws, holders of Series BB shares have the right to choose four members of the Board of Directors, along with their alternates. The remaining directors are elected by our Series B shareholders, who do not elect alternates. Each shareholder or group of shareholders owning 10% of our capital stock in Series B shares is entitled to choose one board of directors member. However, our bylaws prohibit any Series B shareholders, on their own or with related parties, from appointing more than one board member, even if they own more than 10% of our outstanding capital stock. Any shares exceeding the 10% maximum do not carry voting rights under our bylaws. The other directors elected by our Series B shareholders are chosen by a majority vote of all Series B shareholders present at the shareholders’ meeting, except those who have already participated in any 10% board member designation. Independent directors are selected using an executive search firm to find individuals with appropriate profiles. Directors are elected for one-year terms at the ordinary shareholders’ meeting.
Our Pending Business Combination provides that our corporate and supervisory bodies will not change as a result of the combination. Upon consummation, the corporate and supervisory bodies of the merged entities will be dissolved and their powers of attorney revoked, while our existing powers of attorney will remain in force. Our Board of Directors has been delegated broad authority to negotiate, amend, waive, or terminate the merger agreement governing the Business Combination and to define key terms, including the number and class of shares to be issued, delivery mechanisms, and the ability not to consummate the combination if conditions are not satisfied. Following consummation of the Business Combination, we and the shareholders of the merged companies may enter into ancillary agreements, which may include without limitation a transition services agreement, orderly liquidity agreements to govern the staged disposition of shares received in the merger, and registration rights agreements to facilitate coordinated share sales. For a complete description of the Business Combination, see “Item 4, Information on the Company — History and Development of the Company — Pending Business Combination”.
The table below shows the composition of our current board of directors, including their title, date of appointment, age, and alternates, if applicable. However, this composition could change at the Ordinary Shareholders’ Meeting to be held on April 22, 2026.

Compensation of Directors and Executives
Under the technical assistance agreement with AMP, the four directors and four alternates elected by AMP do not receive compensation from us for serving on our board of directors.
For 2025, the aggregate compensation paid to our directors designated by our Series B shareholders was around Ps.15.9 million. We have not established any pension, retirement, or similar benefits or arrangements for these individuals. These directors received during 2025 base annual compensation of approximately U.S.$89,700 for their service on our six board of directors’ meetings. Additionally, for their services to our corporate governance committees, certain directors receive supplemental compensation: the president of our Audit Committee received an additional U.S.$33,995; the members of our Audit Committee received U.S.$19,435 each; the member of our Acquisition Committee received U.S.$19,435; the member of our Compensation Committee received U.S.$2,990, and the member of our Sustainability Committee received U.S.$5,980.
In 2025, the annual fixed compensation paid to the nine executives was Ps.57.4 million, corresponding to short-term benefits.
In addition, we paid Ps.26.9 million as annual variable compensation, which was determined based on: (i) the individual performance of each executive according to specific KPIs, accounting for around 60.0% of the total evaluation; (ii) the Company’s financial results at the operational level compared with the annual budget, accounting for 30.0% of the total evaluation; and (iii) an evaluation of the individual performance of each executive by the Operating Committee (the board of directors evaluates the CEO), accounting for 10.0% of the total evaluation. The annual variable compensation is determined based on 40.0% or 100.0% of the annual base salary, depending on each executive’s duties. The average achievement level for 2025 was 99.91%.
To retain and develop our key management positions, in addition to the fixed and variable compensation, we have implemented, since 2022, a Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTI) for our executives, deputy directors, and airport directors. The LTI is based on four factors: (i) operating financial results compared to projected results from 2025 to 2029, which represents 40.0% of the total evaluation; (ii) net profit results from 2025 to 2029, which represents 20.0% of the total evaluation; (iii) passenger perceived quality index from 2025 to 2029, which represents 20.0% of the total evaluation; and iv) sustainability and operational performance goals aligned with our long-term operational framework, which represents 20.0% of the total evaluation. These goals focus on measurable operational and compliance metrics, including environmental efficiency targets, regulatory compliance benchmarks, and operational quality standards.
The evaluation of the LTI will be done annually, and the rights will be recognized proportionally at the achieving level. Once the total amount is approved in favor of each executive, that amount is translated into shares, considering the average of the Company’s share price for
the last 45 days of the previous year. Then, the employee will have the economic rights of those shares until they are vested. However, it doesn’t represent an actual share granting. The LTI comprises 15 to 28 months of salary for the four-year period, depending on each executive’s responsibilities.
The shares could be vested a year after they are granted, with a maximum amount of 33.33% per year. The provision for the executives in 2023, 2024, and 2025 were Ps.22.8 million, Ps.30.4 million, and Ps.28.8 million, respectively.
None of our directors, alternate directors or executive officers is the beneficial owner of more than 1% of any class of our capital stock, except as described in “Item 6, Directors, Senior Management and Employees” and in “Item 4. Information on the Company – History and Development of the Company - Investment by AMP.” None of our directors, or executive officers is entitled to benefits upon termination under their service contracts with us, except for what is due to them according to the Mexican Federal Labor Law. Additionally, we have not established any pension, retirement, or similar benefits or arrangements for the executives during 2025.
Board Committees
Our Company’s bylaws have established five committees to help the board of directors manage our business: the Operating Committee, the Audit and Corporate Practices Committee, the Acquisitions Committee, the Nominations and Compensation Committee, and the Sustainability Committee. Of these committees, only the Audit Committee is required legally by our bylaws to fulfill the duties provided for in the Securities Market Law for Mexican corporate practices committees. The other committees have been established solely to assist the board of directors. The board of directors has the authority to create additional committees as needed.
Operating Committee
Per our bylaws, the Operating Committee will have six members and three alternates. The committee proposes and approves various plans and policies related to our business, investments, and administration. Some of the key responsibilities include approval of the Master Development Programs of our subsidiary concession holders, making decisions about our dividend policy, and approving investments of less than U.S.$3.0 million not included in our annual budget. According to our bylaws, the board of directors has the authority to appoint the six members of the Operating Committee. Board members elected by the holders of Series BB shares have the right to appoint three of the committee members. As of the date of this report, the members of the Operating Committee are Raúl Revuelta Musalem, CEO, who chairs the committee; Emilio Rotondo Inclán, Carlos Alberto Rohm Campos, and Juan Gallardo Thurlow. Maria de los Reyes Escrig Teigeiro, Santiago Riveroll Mendoza, and Alejandro Cortina Gallardo serve as alternates for Emilio Rotondo Inclán, Carlos Alberto Rohm Campos, and Juan Gallardo Thurlow, respectively. A secretary who is not a committee member has also been appointed.
Audit and Corporate Practices Committee
The Audit and Corporate Practices Committee is responsible for several important tasks. It must have at least three members, with the majority being board of directors members. Some of the committee’s duties include (i) ensuring that the Company’s directors, officers, and employees (as well as those of its subsidiaries) comply with the bylaws (estatutos sociales) and applicable laws, (ii) selecting and supervising the work of independent auditors and (iii) receiving and investigating internal complaints or other information related to the Company’s internal control systems. The committee is also responsible for reviewing the Company’s corporate governance and all related-party transactions, including those with AMP, per the requirements of our bylaws and the Mexican Market Law. Members of the board of directors elected by the holders of Series BB shares can propose appointing 20% of the committee’s total members, but at least one member must meet the applicable independence requirements. The president of this committee is elected at the annual shareholders’ meeting. The composition of the Audit and Corporate Practices Committee must comply with all applicable laws and regulations, including independence requirements, in every jurisdiction in which the Company’s securities are listed or quoted. As of the date of this report, the committee consists of the following directors: Carlos Cárdenas Guzmán serves as president, and Ángel Losada Moreno, and Joaquín Vargas Guajardo serve as members.
Acquisitions Committee
The Acquisitions Committee is responsible for ensuring compliance with our procurement policies as stated in our bylaws. These policies require the Acquisitions Committee to approve any transaction or series of related transactions exceeding U.S.$600,000 between us and a third party. Additionally, any contract between us and AMP or any of its related parties needs to be awarded via a bidding process. If a proposed transaction involves us and AMP or any related party, at least three contractors must be invited to bid on the transaction, and if a third-party contractor’s bid is equal to or less than AMP’s bid, the transaction is awarded to the third-party contractor.
According to our bylaws, a shareholders’ meeting will determine the number of members of the Acquisitions Committee. The committee must be primarily composed of members of the board of directors. The members of the board of directors elected by the holders of Series BB shares can nominate members to the committee representing 20% of its total members or at least one member. As of the date of this report, the Acquisitions Committee consists of proprietary members Alejandro Cortina Gallardo and Juan Diez-Canedo Ruíz. Emilio Rotondo Inclán
served as an alternate member to Alejandro Cortina Gallardo and Luis Téllez Kuenzler serving as an alternate member to Juan Diez-Canedo Ruíz. A secretary who is not a member of the committee has also been appointed.
Nominations and Compensation Committee
The Nominations and Compensation Committee is responsible for nominating candidates to our board of directors and making recommendations regarding the compensation of our directors and officers. The committee also plays a role in corporate governance. Our bylaws state that the number of members of the committee will be determined at a shareholders’ meeting. The holders of Series B and Series BB shares are each entitled to name one committee member, with the remaining members designated by the two members selected by the Series B and Series BB shareholders. If these two members cannot reach an agreement, the remaining members will be designated by the majority of the votes at the shareholders’ meeting. Holders of the Series BB Shares will be entitled to appoint at least one member or 20% of the members. Members of the committee serve for a term of one year. At each annual shareholders’ meeting, the Nominations and Compensation Committee presents a list of candidates for election as directors, which Series B shareholders vote on. As of the date of this report, the members of the Nominations and Compensation Committee are Emilio Rotondo Inclán and Luis Téllez Kuenzler, with Laura Diez-Barroso Azcárraga serving as an alternate member to Emilio Rotondo Inclán. A secretary who is not a member of the committee has also been appointed.
Sustainability Committee
The Sustainability Committee is responsible for identifying and overseeing legal, environmental, labor, and operational risks that may affect the organization and defining strategies to mitigate such risks. The Committee monitors compliance with applicable environmental and sustainability regulatory requirements, follows up on our operational sustainability goals and objectives, and ensures delivery of relevant performance data to the Board of Directors through an annual performance report. According to our bylaws, the Sustainability Committee is integrated as follows: the Chairman of the Committee and his respective alternate appointed by the Series “BB” shareholders, the CEO of the Company, and an Independent Member appointed by the Board of Directors. As of the date of this report, the members of the Sustainability Committee are Emilio Rotondo Inclán, Alejandra Palacios Prieto, Raúl Revuelta Musalem, and Carlos Alberto Rohm Campos, serving as an alternate member to Emilio Rotondo Inclán. A secretary who is not a committee member has also been appointed.
Share Ownership
With the exception of the directors and executive officers set forth below, directors and executive officers do not own shares of GAP. To the Company’s best knowledge, the following members of our board of directors and senior management beneficially owned shares in the Company: Laura Diez-Barroso Azcárraga (36,421,798 Series B shares, including 21,628,281 shares beneficially owned indirectly through AMP, and 75,791,619 Series BB shares beneficially owned indirectly through AMP – 6.1%), Juan Gallardo Thurlow (22,371,019 Series B shares, including 140,007 shares beneficially owned indirectly through Equipos del Aigua, S.A. de C.V. and 21,628,281 shares beneficially owned indirectly through AMP, and 75,791,619 Series BB shares beneficially owned indirectly through AMP – 3.4%), Claudia Laviada Diez-Barroso (15,689,584 Series B shares, including 15,567,111 shares beneficially owned indirectly through Weston Hill (including shares represented by ADSs), 108,750 shares held directly in the form of ADSs, and 13,723 shared held directly – 3.1%), Alejandro Cortina Gallardo (86,966 Series B shares), Carlos Cárdenas Guzmán (1,776 Series B shares), Juan Diez-Canedo Ruiz (69,300 Series B shares), Sergio Enrique Flores Ochoa (12,075 Series B shares), Alejandra Yazmín Soto Ayech (250 Series B shares) and Yolanda Susana Romero Mojica (15 Series B shares). Each of Alejandro Cortina Gallardo, Carlos Cárdenas Guzmán, Juan Diez-Canedo Ruiz, Sergio Enrique Flores Ochoa, Alejandra Yazmín Soto Ayech and Yolanda Susana Romero Mojica beneficially owns less than 1% of our outstanding shares. To the Company’s best knowledge, no other member of our board of directors or senior management owned shares in the Company as of such date. The percentages above reflect each individual’s proportionate interest in the shares held indirectly through the entities referenced above, rather than the aggregate number of shares held by such entities. Each such individual may be deemed to beneficially own the full number of shares held by the applicable entity, and each disclaims beneficial ownership of such shares except to the extent of his or her interest therein.

(1)Total at December 31, 2023, 2024, and 2025, includes 308, 315, and 449 employees, respectively, of SIAP, our administrative services subsidiary located in Guadalajara.
In April 2021, the Mexican Labor Law underwent a labor reform that revised the outsourcing provisions. The 2021 Labor Reform limited subcontracting and modified profit-sharing rules. In response to the reform, the Company restructured its operating subsidiaries that provided specialized services. We submit information regarding these specialized services to the Labor and Social Security Departments every four months.
As of December 31, 2025, approximately 74% of our employees in Mexico were not represented by a union, while approximately 26% were unionized.
Unionized employees are affiliated with local chapters of the Mexican National Union of Airport Workers (Sindicato Nacional de Trabajadores de la Industria Aeroportuaria y Servicios Similares y Conexos de la República Mexicana), established in 1998. This union also represents employees of ASA, and other airport operators in Mexico.
Our labor relations in Mexico are governed by collective bargaining agreements that apply to all twelve airport subsidiaries. Collective bargaining agreements are negotiated with the relevant local union chapters. In Mexico, it is customary to renegotiate wages annually, while employment terms and conditions are typically reviewed every two years.
In 2024, we successfully renegotiated our collective bargaining agreements covering 2024-2025. Negotiations were ongoing in 2025 and first months of 2026 in connection with the annual wage review. With respect to GWTC, approximately 45% of employees are unionized and represented by two separate unions. Approximately 40% are represented by the Sindicato Nacional de Trabajadores del Ramo de Ventas y Servicios en General, Similares y Conexos de la República Mexicana, and the remaining 60% are represented by the Sindicato de Empleados y Trabajadores en la Estructura, Armadura Motriz y Manufactura Industrial en el Estado de Jalisco. In 2025, we successfully renegotiated the applicable collective bargaining agreements, securing agreed employment terms for 2026 and 2027.
During 2025, non-union employees received a general salary increase of 7%. Unionized employees in cargo facilities and customs warehouses operations received a 5.5% wage increase pursuant to collective bargaining agreements.
We offer a savings plan to all of our employees in Mexico, allowing them to make bi-weekly contributions of up to 13% of their pre-tax salaries. We match employees' contributions with an equivalent bi-weekly employer contribution. Employees may withdraw accumulated funds on an annual basis. In 2023, 2024, and 2025 we contributed Ps.49.6 million, Ps.55.7 million, and Ps.57.7 million, respectively, to employees’ savings plan accounts. Funds held under the savings plan may be used to provide loans to employees and are invested in securities listed on the Mexican Stock Exchange or in Treasury bills issued by the Mexican Treasury Department.
In July 2023, we registered a pension plan with the Mexican tax authorities for our non-unionized employees. The plan includes defined contribution and defined benefit components funded exclusively through employee contributions.

Due to the passing of Hurricane Melissa and the recovery process no further meetings were held for the remainder of the year. MBJA in now looking forward to resume negotiation talks with UTASP. UTASP represents 37 supervisory and administrative employees.
On December 10, 2021, MBJA executed a collective bargaining agreement with TUC, which covers the period from March 1, 2021, to February 28, 2023. MBJA has embarked on a Job Reclassification exercise for the TUC group and will close discussions on this in short order. The TUC bargaining unit is expected to submit a new wage and fringe benefits claim for the periods from March 1, 2023, to February 28, 2027. As of now, no such claim has been received. The TUC represents 49 employees from MBJA’s Maintenance and Engineering and Emergency Response Service teams.

(1) For information regarding AMP’s current shareholders, see “AMP shareholders below.”
The following are AMP’s current shareholders:
•CMA owns 66.67% of AMP. CMA is a private company 50% owned by Pal Aeropuertos, S.A. de C.V. (“PAL”) and 50% owned by Promotora Aeronáutica del Pacífico, S.A. de C.V. (“PAP”). PAL is owned 50% by a trustee controlled by Eduardo Sánchez Navarro Redo and certain members of his immediate family, and 50% by Juan Gallardo Thurlow. PAP is owned by Laura Diez-Barroso Azcárraga and her spouse, Carlos Laviada Ocejo. Through their respective ownership interests in PAL and PAP, the individuals described above may be deemed indirect, shared beneficial owners of AMP’s equity interest in the Company. In addition, certain of these individuals hold direct equity interests in GAP, Mrs. Diez-Barroso Azcárraga directly owns 14,793,517 Series B shares, and Mr. Gallardo Thurlow directly owns 602,731 Series B shares and may be deemed to beneficially own and additional 140,007 Series B shares indirectly.
•Aena Desarrollo Internacional, S.M.E., S.A. (“Aena Internacional”) owns the remaining 33.33% of AMP. Aena Internacional is a wholly owned subsidiary of Aena, S.M.E., S.A. (“Aena”), which is the parent company of the Spanish economic group “Grupo AENA.” Aena is a listed company with 51% of its shares currently held by E.P.E. Enaire, a Spanish government corporation. The remaining 49% is currently traded on the Madrid stock exchange.
AMP holds all of our Series BB shares. Special rights and restrictions attached to our Series BB shares are described under “Item 4, Information on the Company – History and Development of the Company” and “Item 10, Additional Information – Corporate Governance – Voting Rights and Shareholders’ Meetings.”
As of March 31, 2026, approximately 15.5% of our Series B shares were held in the form of ADSs, and 75% of the holders of our ADSs (124 holders, including The Depository Trust Company) had registered addresses in the United States.
Expected Post-Business Combination Ownership Structure
If the Pending Business Combination is consummated, our ownership structure would change materially. As described in “Item 4, Information on the Company — History and Development of the Company — Pending Business Combination”, we expect to issue approximately 90 million net new shares (subject to final adjustments based on the merger mechanics), which would increase our total outstanding shares from approximately 505 million to approximately 595 million, representing an approximately 18% increase in outstanding shares.
The shares to be issued in the merger will include both Series B and Series BB shares. While AMP will be extinguished as a result of the merger and its Series BB shares will be withdrawn from circulation, we will issue new Series BB shares to the shareholders and partners of the merged entities (including AMP’s current shareholders). The rights and obligations of our shares will not change as a result of the merger, and our capital structure will remain unchanged. Current holders of Series B shares will be diluted by this issuance, as their percentage ownership of the company and proportionate voting power will be reduced.
Shareholders receiving shares in the Business Combination will be subject to lock-up and orderly disposition restrictions as described in “Item 10 — Lock-Up Provisions Related to Pending Business Combination”.
AMP Trust, Bylaws and Shareholders’ Agreement
The rules governing the sale of our Series BB shares to AMP required that AMP place all of its Series BB shares in trust. This arrangement was established to ensure AMP fulfills its obligations under the technical assistance agreement and to uphold its commitment to maintain its interest in us for a specified period. As a result, AMP has placed its shares in trust with Bancomext. This trust stipulates that AMP may direct Bancomext regarding the voting of the shares held in trust, which represent up to 10% of our capital stock. The remaining 5% must be voted in accordance with the majority of all shares cast at the relevant shareholders’ meeting. The terms of the trust will be extended for an additional fifteen years if, at the end of the initial fifteen-year term, AMP holds shares representing more than 10% of our capital stock. AMP may terminate the trust before the second fifteen-year term begins if (i) AMP holds less than 10% of our capital stock at the end of the initial term, and (ii) the technical services agreement has been terminated. AMP is required to deposit in the trust any additional shares of our capital stock that it acquires.
On November 19, 2014, CMA purchased 792,800,000 shares from DCA, representing 33.33% of the capital stock of AMP. As a result of the transaction, CMA became the owner of 66.66% of the capital stock of AMP. AMP’s shareholders (CMA and AENA) have entered into a shareholders’ agreement that provides that AENA will have the right to appoint our director of technical operations, meanwhile, (i) the appointment of AMP’s representatives to our board of directors and board committees shall be made on a rotating basis, and (ii) any right of AMP regarding the appointment of our chief executive officer, chief financial officer, director of investor relations, general counsel, director of human resources, director of commercial activities, the secretary of our board of directors and most other matters relating to AMP’s participation in us, must be made, in principle, pursuant to the unanimous consent of AMP’s shareholders. When unanimous consent is not obtained, other mechanisms exist to avoid the resulting deadlocks. However, such deadlocks might still occur, which may affect our operations. See “Item 3, Key Information – Risk Factors – Risks Related to our Strategic Shareholder – Disputes among AMP’s shareholders may affect our shareholders’ meetings or management.”
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Arrangements with AMP and its Affiliates
The rules governing the sale of the Series BB shares required AMP, us, and SICT to enter into a participation agreement. This agreement established the framework for both the technical assistance agreement and the trust agreement with Banco Nacional de Comercio Exterior, S.N.C., or Bancomext.
Since our concessions were granted, AMP and its shareholders have agreed to provide us with management and consulting services, as well as technical assistance and industry expertise related to airport operations. This collaboration has assisted us in developing and improving our airports and the services they offer. Under the technical assistance and participation agreements, we have received a variety of services from AMP, including advice on airport operations and security, guidance on commercial project development, identification of new investment opportunities, and assessments of various international projects. Notably, this includes evaluations related to the acquisition of Sangster International Airport and Norman Manley International Airport in Jamaica. AMP’s active participation in our operations, as mandated by these agreements, provides us with a competitive advantage that has become an essential part of our operations and results in growth, as illustrated by our financial information. See “Item 5, Operating and Financial Review and Prospects – Overview.”
The agreement has an initial term of fifteen years and automatically renews for successive five-year terms, unless one party notifies the other of termination at least 60 days before the scheduled expiration date. The most recent automatic renewal was in 2024, extending the agreement for an additional five years, per Clause 5.2.
Any decision to renew or terminate the technical assistance agreement requires approval from at least 51% of Series B shareholders, excluding AMP or any related parties (to the extent that AMP or such related parties hold Series B shares). The agreement will remain in effect only as long as AMP holds at least 7.65% of our capital stock. If this agreement were to lapse, it could result in management changes and significant negative impacts on our operations due to a lack of technical assistance.
The technical assistance fee is set at the greater of U.S.$4.0 million (subject to annual adjustments for inflation based on the U.S. CPI) or 5% of our annual consolidated income from operations (calculated before deducting the technical assistance fee and depreciation and amortization in accordance with MFRS). We believe that this structure incentivizes AMP to work towards increasing our annual consolidated earnings.
Additionally, the technical assistance agreement permits AMP, its shareholders, and their affiliates to provide us with additional services only if our Acquisitions Committee determines that these related parties have submitted the most favorable bid in a competitive process that
includes at least three unrelated parties. This process is described in “Item 6, Directors, Senior Management and Employees – Board Committees.”
In 2023, 2024, and 2025, we did not incur any expenses with AMP. According to the technical assistance agreement, the fees paid to AMP and its affiliates were approximately Ps.851.6 million (U.S.$50.2 million), Ps.845.2 million (U.S.$46.2 million), and Ps.971.7 million (U.S.$53.9 million) for 2023, 2024, and 2025, respectively.
On December 11, 2025, our shareholders approved the Business Combination, pursuant to which we will acquire CBX and internalize the technical assistance services currently provided by AMP. The Business Combination remains subject to execution of definitive agreements and customary closing conditions. See “Item 4, Information on the Company — History and Development of the Company — Pending Business Combination”.
Tijuana cross-border walkway
The Tijuana airport has a commercial agreement with OTV to operate, maintain, and use a cross-border walkway (referred to as the “CBX”). Each party is responsible for the section of walkway corresponding to its side of the U.S.-Mexico border. The CBX is designated to facilitate the flow of passengers in both directions across the border, provided they present a valid boarding pass. This contract has been in effect since April 8, 2013, and will expire when the Tijuana airport concession ends. According to the agreement, OTV is required to pay the Tijuana airport a fixed fee (termed “access rights”) for each passenger using the CBX. This fee compensates for reducing non-aeronautical services revenues from parking, taxi, bus, retail, car rental, and currency exchange services until December 2017. Since December 2017, OTV is no longer obligated to make additional payments for access rights. The CBX began operations on December 9, 2015. During the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024, and 2025, the CBX was used by approximately 4.3 million, 4.0 million, and 4.0 million, passengers, respectively.
OTV is a private company incorporated in the United States and is wholly owned by Otay-Tj Holdings, L.L.C. The holding company has two shareholders: 25% is owned by a U.S. company, and a Mexican company owns 75%. Additionally, the shareholders of the Mexican company possess 66.67% of AMP, our strategic shareholder. Therefore, this agreement is classified as an operation between related parties. OTV has obtained the necessary presidential permit from the U.S. government to provide border-crossing services and is responsible for all obligations with the U.S. government related to this permit. Moreover, OTV owns the property along the U.S. border that was acquired before the presidential permit was obtained, on which the CBX terminal was later constructed. For these reasons, this business opportunity could only be pursued by OTV.
The agreement with OTV was negotiated at arm’s length, reported to our Audit and Corporate Practices Committee, and approved by a majority of our independent directors during a board meeting held on February 26, 2013. Our Series BB directors, appointed by AMP, abstained from the vote.

Item 8. Financial Information
See “Item 18, Financial Statements” and our consolidated financial statements beginning on page F-1. Since the date of those financial statements, no significant change has occurred.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
General
We are periodically involved in legal proceedings incidental to the ordinary conduct of our business. None of these matters is expected to have a material adverse effect on our operations or financial position. In addition to such ordinary-course proceedings, in recent years we have been subject, directly and indirectly, to certain litigation matters, which are summarized below.
Ejido claims at Tijuana, Guadalajara and Puerto Vallarta airports
Certain portions of the land on which several of our airports operate were expropriated by the Mexican government pursuant to its eminent domain authority. Prior to these expropriations, the land was under the communal land ownership structure known as ejidos. Certain former ejido participants have filed indemnification claims against the Mexican government challenging the validity of the corresponding expropriation decrees.
Tijuana
For Tijuana airport subsidiary was joined as an interested third party in proceedings relating to the 1970 expropriation decree. In 2008, the ejido received an unfavorable ruling, which it appealed. The appellate agrarian court subsequently ruled in favor of the ejido, ordering the restitution of 320 hectares. We filed an amparo against this decision on October 20, 2016. On November 26, 2020, the amparo was resolved in our favor, nullifying the agrarian court’s restitution order and determining that the conditions for restitution under Article 98 of the Agrarian Law (Ley Agraria) had not been met.
In addition, certain former ejido participants currently occupy portions of the land on which Tijuana International Airport operates. Although these areas are not essential for current operations and do not presently interfere with airport activities, their occupation may restrict our ability to expand the airport capacity. These individuals may also attempt to disrupt operations in their legal claims against the Mexican government are not resolved to their satisfaction.
On September 19, 2025, a substitute compliance agreement was executed between the Tampico Ejido and the Federal Government, through the SICT, under which the dispute was resolved by paying compensation to the ejido, as well as fees, in a combined amount of Ps.723.3 million and by formally restoring the land area that, prior to the concession, had been in the ejido’s possession and was not part of the Tijuana Airport boundary polygon.
Guadalajara
In 2009, two ejidos initiated proceedings before an agrarian court (Tribunal Superior Agrario), seeking to nullify 1975 expropriation decree related to Guadalajara International airport. The matter was subsequently transferred to the federal justice system. In November 2010, the district court ruled in favor of the ejidos, ordering the return of all expropriated property and voiding the concession granted for such land. The airport joined the proceedings as an interested third party and appealed. On July 10, 2012, the appellate court reversed and remanded the judgment. On July 31, 2014, the district court issued a new ruling in favor of one of the ejidos, El Zapote. Both the airport and federal authorities appealed again. On April 14, 2016, an appellate court issued a definitive judgment holding that, while the ejidos’ rights to contest the appraised value had been violated, the land could not be returned to them and the concession remained valid. The case is currently in the enforcement phase. On January 13, 2017, the Ministry of Agrarian, Territorial and Urban Development (Secretaría de Desarrollo Agrario, Territorial y Urbano (SEDATU)) issued an appraisal for a part of airport’s land pursuant the 1975 expropriation decree. Although the appraisal was challenged by the ejido, it was accepted by the court. On August 10, 2018, the district judge initiated financial compensation proceedings.
On December 6, 2022, a substitute compliance judicial agreement was reached to ensure the continued operation and future expansion of the airport. The agreement was executed on December 9, 2022, with a payment of Ps.82.6 million and was approved by the aeronautical authority. While this agreement resolved the specific claims of the ejido, we cannot assure that new proceedings will not be initiated in the future.
Puerto Vallarta
In October 2013, Puerto Vallarta International Airport received notice of lawsuits filed by the ejido Valle de Banderas asserting the invalidity of the expropriation of land on which the airport is located. Ejido participants initiated four proceedings against us, our Puerto Vallarta airport subsidiary, and various federal authorities, seeking restitution or compensation for 154 hectares of land comprising the airport. The plaintiffs seek to invalidate the expropriation decree issued on October 9, 1957, and, in two of the proceedings, also challenge subsequent decrees issued on August 20, 1990, November 24, 1993, and April 24, 1997. Additionally, these lawsuits seek to void the airport’s concession. We challenged these lawsuits on jurisdictional grounds, as they were filed in the State of Nayarit despite the airport being located in the State of Jalisco. The superior agrarian court agreed with our appeal and transferred the cases to Guadalajara.
Under the terms of our Mexican concessions, if our use of the land assigned to us is impaired, the Mexican government is obligated to restore our rights to use such public property. Although we cannot guarantee the outcomes of the proceedings describe above, we believe the government would be liable for any operational disruptions arising from these matters. If we were to lose any of these proceedings, the government would likely be required to restore our rights to use the relevant public property.
Property tax claims by certain municipalities
We are also subject to ongoing claims by certain municipalities regarding alleged property tax obligations in connection with the land on which our airports operate. We believe that any liabilities arising from these claims, individually or in the aggregate, would not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations, even if a court were to determine that such taxes are payable.
Tijuana
The most significant matter relates to Tijuana airport. On November 26, 2014, the Tijuana municipal authority issued a demand for payment of Ps.234.8 million in property taxes for the period from 2000 to 2014. We challenged the demand on December 19, 2014. The court suspended the requirement to post a collateral bond for the full amount, noting that a portion had already been guaranteed in prior proceedings.
On October 6, 2020, the lower court ruled against us, and we sought judicial review. On June 28, 2022, in plenary session, the court affirmed the unfavorable decision. We filed a further appeal on August 24, 2022, which remains pending.
On March 25, 2020, the municipal authority issued a demand for Ps.23.5 million in property taxes for 2015, followed by an additional demand for 2016 on March 11, 2021. Both demands were challenged in a timely manner and remain pending.
In March 2023, the authority issued a requirement for payment for Ps.31.2 million in property taxes for 2018. The nullity lawsuit was admitted on April 26, 2023. On March 22, 2024, the Federal Court ruled in our favor, requiring the municipal authority to issue a new, fully substantiated resolution.
On March 27, 2024, the municipal authority issued a new requirement for payment for Ps.31.5 million in property taxes for 2019. We intend to challenge this requirement on the same grounds that resulted in the favorable federal ruling for 2018.
On March 31, 2025, the municipal authority of Tijuana issued a claim for property tax in the amount of Ps.31.5 million related to fiscal year 2020. This claim, as with prior assessments, was challenged through an annulment proceeding, which is currently pending resolution before the Administrative Courts.
Guadalajara
On September 25, 2025, the Municipality of Tlajomulco de Zúñiga, Jalisco, issued a property tax assessment to Guadalajara Airport for fiscal years 2006 through 2025 in the amount of Ps.34.6 million. This assessment was timely challenged through the appropriate legal remedies and is currently pending resolution before the Administrative Courts.
DIVIDENDS
The declaration, amount, and payment of dividends are determined by a majority vote of shareholders at a shareholders’ meeting, generally based on the recommendation of our board of directors. Under Article 18 of our bylaws, our board is authorized to establish dividend policies. For so long as the Series BB shares represent at least 7.65% of our capital stock, dividend declarations and payments also require approval by a majority of Series BB shareholders.
Under Mexican law, at least 5% of annual net income (after profit sharing and other required deductions) must be allocated to a legal reserve fund until this reserve reaches at least 20% of capital stock (historical value, without adjusting for inflation). As of December 31, 2025, our legal reserve fund totaled Ps.238.9 million (historical value), which represents 20% of capital stock, therefore it did not require an additional increase to the legal reserve fund.
Mexican companies may pay dividends only from earnings (including retained earnings once all losses have been absorbed) and only after the required allocation to the legal reserve fund. Each entity within a group must fund its own legal reserve fund on a stand-alone basis, not on a consolidated basis. Earnings available for distribution are determined under MFRS. Subsidiaries must allocate earnings to their respective legal reserve funds before distributing dividends to Grupo Aeroportuario del Pacífico, S.A.B. de C.V.
Pursuant to the 2014 Fiscal Reform, dividends paid to Mexican individuals or foreign residents with respect to our Series B shares and ADSs are subject to a 10% withholding tax. For these purposes, the definition of dividends includes, among others: (i) interest paid on preferred shares; (ii) loans to shareholders or partners unless the loan is for less than one year, incurred in the ordinary course of business and meets certain requirements; (iii) non-deductible payments that benefit shareholders; (iv) amounts not recognized due to omissions of income or unrealized purchases; and (v) transfer pricing adjustments to income or expenses arising from tax authorities assessments for related party transactions. The 10% withholding tax also applies to branch distributions to its home office. A transitory provision limits this dividend withholding tax to earnings generated in 2014 and subsequent years. Accordingly, distributions from previously taxed earnings (CUFIN) accumulated through 2013 are tax-exempt. Taxpayers must maintain a separate CUFIN account for these earnings, and the withholding tax is imposed on shareholders under the Mexican Income Tax Law, allowing for treaty benefits where applicable.
Dividends paid from distributable earnings that have not been subject to corporate income tax are subject to a corporate-level dividend tax (retained against cumulative net profit and payable by us) calculated on a gross-up basis by applying a factor of 1.4286 to the distribution amount for 2013 and subsequent years. The Mexican corporate income tax has been 30% since 2013. This corporate-level dividend tax may be credited against our Mexican corporate income tax for the fiscal year in which the dividend is paid or for the following two years.
Distributions to shareholders that do not qualify as dividends (such as capital reductions or share amortization) may also be subject to taxation in Mexico, including withholding taxes. The applicable tax rates and methods for assessing and paying taxes on non-dividend distributions will vary according to the nature of those distributions.
Under our dividend policy, our annual dividend consists of two components. The first component is a fixed amount, which was Ps.450 million in 2005 (for the dividend paid in 2006) and is intended to increase gradually each year. The second component corresponds to any cash and cash equivalents held by us (as reflected in our balance sheet as of the month-end prior to the dividend payment, after deducting the fixed component) over our “minimum cash balance.” For purposes of our policy, the “minimum cash balance” is the amount of cash and cash equivalents that our board of directors determines is necessary to cover expected minimum expenses and investments for the fiscal year in which the dividend is paid and the subsequent fiscal year. Dividends are expected to be paid in cash and in one or more installments, as determined at the relevant ordinary shareholders’ meeting.
We paid dividends of Ps.7,498.3 million, Ps.7,003.1 million (not as dividend, but as capital reduction), and Ps.8,508.9 million, in 2023, 2024, and 2025, respectively.
The declaration, amount, and payment of dividends under the policy described above are subject to: (i) compliance with applicable laws regarding dividend declaration and payment for any given year, including the establishment of the statutory legal reserve fund, and (ii) ensuring that the payment of any dividend does not adversely affect our business plan for the current or subsequent fiscal years. We cannot guarantee that we will continue to pay dividends or that future dividends will be comparable to those distributed in the past. Our ability to pay dividends may also be restricted if we fail to make timely interest payments under our credit agreements. See “Item 5, Operating and Financial Review and Prospects – Liquidity and Capital Resources.” Our dividend policy may also be amended at any time by our shareholders.
As of December 31, 2025, we had approximately Ps.19.0 billion in accumulated distributable earnings previously subject to corporate income tax, which may be distributed free of corporate-level tax; however, a 10% withholding tax may apply to Mexican individuals and foreign residents.
Dividends are paid in pesos. For ADSs representing Series B shares, the depositary receives the dividend in pesos, converts it into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate (net of conversion expenses from the depositary and applicable Mexican withholding tax), and distributes the proceeds to ADS shareholders. Exchange rates fluctuations will affect the amount received by ADS holders.
Item 9. The Offer and Listing
TRADING MARKETS
Our Series B common shares, without par value, are publicly traded in Mexico on the Mexican Stock Exchange under “GAP B.” A new competitor, the Bolsa Institucional de Valores, or the “Institutional Stock Exchange,” commenced operations on July 25, 2018. Since its launch, all securities traded on the Mexican Stock Exchange, including our Series B common shares, are also traded on the Institutional Stock Exchange. Both stock exchanges operate an automatic suspension system designated to limit excessive price volatility. However, under current regulations, this mechanism does not apply to securities such as our Series B common shares that are represented by ADSs and traded on a stock exchange outside of Mexico. Most securities listed on the Mexican Stock Exchange and the Institutional Stock Exchange, including our Series B common shares, are held in custody at Indeval, a privately owned securities depositary that acts as the clearinghouse for transactions executed on both stock exchanges.
Our common ADSs, each representing 10 Series B common shares, are traded on the NYSE under the ticker symbol “PAC”. The Bank of New York Mellon serves as the depositary for our common ADSs. As of March 31, 2026, there were 7,823,082 common ADSs outstanding, representing 15.5% of our total share capital.
Item 10. Additional Information
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Organization and Register
Grupo Aeroportuario del Pacífico, S.A.B. de C.V. is a corporation (sociedad anónima bursátil de capital variable) organized under the laws of Mexico, governed by the Mexican General Law of Commercial Corporations (Ley General de Sociedades Mercantiles) and the Mexican Securities Market Law. It is registered with the Public Registry of Commerce of Mexico City under number 238,578.
Purpose
Our primary corporate purpose is to operate airports under airport concessions.
Bylaws
This section summarizes specific provisions of Mexican law and our bylaws (estatutos sociales).
Board of Directors
Our board of directors consists of eleven members, which can increase to twelve or thirteen members only in cases where it is necessary to preserve minority shareholders’ voting rights due to multiple appointments by persons with 10% interests.
During the election of directors at shareholders’ meetings, holders of Series BB shares are entitled to elect four directors, while holders of Series B shares elect the remaining members of the board.
Individuals or groups owning 10% of our capital stock in the form of Series B shares have the right to appoint one director. The remaining positions on the board of directors are filled in based on the votes of all Series B shareholders who have not appointed a director by virtue of owning 10% of our capital stock. The Nominations and Compensation Committee proposes candidates to the shareholders for election as directors by Series B shareholders. All directors are elected based on a simple majority of the votes cast at the relevant shareholders’ meeting.
Our bylaws do not currently require mandatory retirement of directors after they reach a certain age. The Nominations and Compensation Committee proposes the compensation of our directors to all shareholders at shareholders’ meetings for their approval. Additionally, according to the Securities Market Law, 25% of our directors must be independent, as defined by the law.
Authority of the Board of Directors
The board of directors serves as our legal representative and has several powers, including the following:
•Defining our strategic planning decisions and approving our annual business plans and investment budgets.
•Approving our Master Development Programs and any changes made to them.
•Calling shareholders’ meetings and acting upon resolutions made by shareholders.
•Creating special committees and granting them the powers and authority as deemed fit, provided that said committees will not be vested with the authorities that are expressly reserved for the shareholders or the board of directors under our bylaws or the law.
The meetings of the board of directors will be valid and held if a majority of the members are present, and the resolutions passed during the meeting will be valid if approved by a majority of the board members, unless our bylaws require a higher number. Notwithstanding the board’s authority, under general principles of Mexican law, our shareholders, pursuant to a decision validly taken at a shareholders’ meeting, may at any time override the board.
Powers of Series BB Directors
The Series BB directors are entitled to: (i) appoint and remove our chief executive officer and our other top-level executive officers (upon consultation with our Nominations and Compensation Committee); (ii) appoint three members of the Operating Committee and their respective alternates; (iii) appoint 20% of the total members of the Audit Committee, the Acquisitions Committee and the Nominations and Compensation Committee (a minimum of one member per committee), and their respective alternatives; and (iv) consent to the appointment of individuals appointed to the Operating Committee who are not members of our board of directors or our officers.
In addition to the foregoing, each of the following actions of our board of directors, among others, may only occur with the approval of the Series BB directors:
•approval of our airports’ five-year Master Development Programs or amendments thereto;
•approval of our annual business and investment plans;
•approval of capital expenditures outside of our annual investment plans;
•approval of any sale of our fixed assets, individually or jointly, in an amount exceeding U.S.$3.0 million;
•approval for us to enter into any type of loan or credit agreement, other than for certain loans granted by us to our subsidiaries;
•approval of the granting by us of guarantees (avales) or other security interests other than for the benefit of our subsidiaries;
•proposing to increase our capital stock or that of our subsidiaries;
•approval of sales of shares in our subsidiaries;
•approval of our dividend policies; and
•proposing individuals to join our Audit Committee or our Nominations and Compensation Committee.

(1)At our April 13, 2023, Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting, our shareholders approved canceling 7,024,113 Series B shares previously repurchased by us and held as treasury shares. Article Six, Clause 2 of our bylaws establishes that our Series BB shares may only represent up to 15% of our authorized capital stock. Consequently, because of the cancellation of Series B shares approved at our Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting and to comply with the provisions of our bylaws on May 16, 2023, Bancomext, as trustee of the trust in which AMP’s Series BB shares are held requested the conversion of 1,053,617 Series BB shares held by the trust to Series B shares. For a description of the AMP trust, see “Item 7, Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions – Major Shareholders – AMP Trust, Bylaws and Shareholders’ Agreement.” This table has been updated to reflect both the cancellation and conversion of shares as described above.
Our bylaws provide that our shares have the following characteristics:
•Series B: Series B shares currently represent 85% of our capital stock and may represent up to 100% of our share capital. Series B shares may be held by any Mexican or foreign natural person, company or entity, except foreign governments.
•Series BB: Series BB shares currently represent 15% of our capital stock and may not represent a greater percentage of our capital stock. Like Series B shares, Series BB shares may be held by any Mexican or foreign natural person, company or entity, except for foreign governments and subject to the other requirements of our bylaws.
Under the Mexican Airport Law and the Mexican Foreign Investments Law (Ley de Inversión Extranjera), foreign persons may not directly or indirectly own more than 49% of the capital stock of a holder of an airport concession unless authorization from the Mexican Commission of Foreign Investments is obtained. We have obtained this authorization, and as a consequence these restrictions do not apply to our Series B or Series BB shares.
All ordinary shares confer equal rights and obligations on holders within each series. Series BB shares are subject to transfer restrictions under our bylaws and generally must be converted to Series B shares before they can be transferred. On or after August 25, 2014, all of the Series BB shares may be converted into Series B shares if (i) the technical assistance agreement between AMP and us has not been renewed; and (ii) the Series BB shareholders so request. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time after August 25, 2014, Series BB shares represent less than 7.65% of our share capital, those shares will be mandatorily converted into Series B shares and the technical assistance agreement will be terminated.
Voting Rights and Shareholders’ Meetings
Each Series B share and Series BB share entitles the holder to one vote at any general meeting of our shareholders. Holders of Series BB shares are entitled to elect four members of our board of directors and holders of Series B shares are entitled to elect the remaining members of the board of directors.
Under Mexican law and our bylaws, we may hold three types of shareholders’ meetings: ordinary, extraordinary, and special. Ordinary shareholders’ meetings are those called to discuss any issue not reserved for extraordinary shareholders’ meetings. An annual ordinary shareholders’ meeting (our “General Ordinary Shareholders’ Meeting”) must be convened and held within the first four months following the end of each fiscal year to discuss, among other things, the report prepared by the board on our financial statements, the appointment of members of the board of directors, the declaration of dividends and the determination of compensation for members of the board.
Extraordinary shareholders’ meetings (our “Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting”) are those called to consider any of the following matters:
•the extension of our duration or our voluntary dissolution;
•an increase or decrease in our minimum fixed capital;
•a change in corporate purpose or nationality;
•any transformation, merger or spin-off involving the company;
•any stock redemption or issuance of preferred stock or bonds;
•the cancellation of the listing of our shares with the National Securities Registry or on any stock exchange;
•amendments to our company’s bylaws; and
•any other matters for which applicable Mexican law or the bylaws specifically require an extraordinary meeting.
Special shareholders’ meetings are those called and held by shareholders of the same series or class to consider any matter particularly affecting the relevant series or class of shares.
Shareholders’ meetings are required to be held in our corporate domicile, which is the city of Guadalajara, in the state of Jalisco. Calls for shareholders’ meetings must be made by the board of directors or the Audit Committee. Any shareholder or group of shareholders representing at least 10% of our capital stock has the right to request that the board of directors or the Audit Committee call a shareholders’ meeting to discuss the matters indicated in the relevant request. In certain circumstances specified in Mexican law, any individual shareholder may also make such a request. If the board of directors or the Audit Committee fails to call a meeting within fifteen calendar days following receipt of the request, the shareholder or group of shareholders may request that the call be made by a competent court.
Calls for shareholders’ meetings must be published in the Mexican Federal Gazette or in one newspaper of general circulation in Mexico at least fifteen calendar days prior to the date of the meeting. Each call must set forth the place, date and time of the meeting and the matters to be addressed. Shareholders’ meetings will be validly held and convened without the need for a prior call or publication whenever all the shares representing our capital are duly represented.
To be admitted to any shareholders’ meeting, shareholders must be registered in our share registry and comply with the requirements set forth in our bylaws. Shareholders may be represented at any shareholders’ meeting by one or more attorneys-in-fact who may not be our directors.
At or prior to the time of publication of any call for a shareholders’ meeting, we will provide copies of the publication to the depositary for distribution to the holders of ADSs. Holders of ADSs are entitled to instruct the depositary as to the exercise of voting rights pertaining to Series B shares.
Quorums
Ordinary shareholders’ meetings are regarded as legally convened pursuant to a first call when more than 50% of the shares representing our capital are present or duly represented. Resolutions at ordinary shareholders’ meetings are valid when approved by a majority of the shares present or duly represented at the meeting. Any number of shares represented at an ordinary shareholders’ meeting convened pursuant to a second or subsequent call constitutes a quorum. Resolutions at ordinary shareholders’ meetings convened in this manner are valid when approved by a majority of the shares represented at the meeting.
Extraordinary and special shareholders’ meetings are regarded as legally convened pursuant to a first or subsequent call when at least 75% of the shares representing our capital (or 75% of the relevant series) are present or duly represented. Resolutions at extraordinary shareholders’ meetings are valid if taken by the favorable vote of shares representing more than 50% of our capital (or 50% of the relevant series).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, resolutions at extraordinary shareholders’ meetings called to discuss any of the issues listed below are valid only if approved by a vote of shares representing at least 75% of our capital:
•any amendment to our bylaws that: (i) changes or deletes the authorities of our committees; or (ii) changes or deletes the rights of minority shareholders;
•any actions resulting in the cancellation of the concessions granted to us or our subsidiaries by the Mexican government or any assignment of rights arising therefrom;
•termination of the participation agreement between us and AMP;
•the cancellation of registration of our shares with the National Securities Registry (Registro Nacional de Valores), with the Mexican Stock Exchange (BMV) or with any other domestic or foreign stock exchange in which they are registered;
•a merger by us with an entity the business of which is not directly related to our business or that of our subsidiaries; or
•a spin-off, dissolution or liquidation of our business.
Our bylaws also establish the following voting requirements:
•the amendment of the restrictions in our bylaws on ownership of shares of our capital stock requires the vote of holders of 85% of our capital stock;
•a delisting of our shares requires the vote of holders of 95% of our capital stock; and
•the amendment of the provisions in our bylaws requiring that a shareholder exceeding our share ownership limits conduct a public sale of his excess shares requires the vote of holders of 85% of our capital stock.
Veto Rights of Holders of Series BB Shares
So long as the Series BB shares represent at least 7.65% of our capital stock, resolutions adopted at shareholders’ meetings with respect to any of the issues listed below will only be valid if approved by a vote of a majority of the Series BB shares:
•approval of our financial statements;
•liquidation or dissolution;
•capital increases or decreases;
•declaration and payment of dividends;
•amendment to our bylaws;
•mergers, spin-offs or share-splits;
•grant or amendment of special rights to any series of shares; and
•any decision amending or nullifying a resolution validly taken by the board of directors with respect to: (i) appointment of our top-level executive officers; (ii) appointment of the three members of our Operating Committee and of the members of the Audit, Acquisitions and Nominations and Compensation committees to be designated by the directors elected by the holders of the Series BB shares; and (iii) appointment of the members of the Operating Committee whose appointment requires the consent of the directors elected by the holders of the Series BB shares, and decisions of the board of directors that require the affirmative vote of the directors elected by the holders of our Series BB shares.
Dividends and Distributions
At our General Ordinary Shareholders’ Meeting, the board of directors will submit to the shareholders for their approval our audited consolidated financial statements for the preceding fiscal year. Five percent of our net income (after profit sharing and other deductions required by Mexican law) must be allocated to a legal reserve fund until the legal reserve fund reaches an amount equal to at least 20% of our capital stock (without adjustment for inflation). Additional amounts may be allocated to other reserve funds as the shareholders may from time to time determine including a reserve to repurchase shares. The remaining balance, if any, of net earnings may be distributed as dividends on the shares of common stock. A full discussion of our dividend policy may be found in “Item 8, Financial Information – Dividends.”
At the Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting held on April 25, 2025, the shareholders approved a dividend payment of Ps.16.84 per outstanding shares at the date of each payment, excluding shares repurchased in accordance with Article 56 of the Securities Market Law. The first payment for Ps.8.42 per outstanding share was made on May 28, 2025, and the second payment for Ps.8.42 per outstanding share was made on August 14, 2025. The total dividend payment was Ps.8,508.9 million.
At the Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting held on April 25, 2024, the shareholders approved a capital reduction of Ps.13.86 per outstanding shares at the date of each payment, excluding shares repurchased in accordance with Article 56 of the Securities Market Law. The first payment for Ps.6.93 per outstanding share was made on July 23, 2024, and the second payment for Ps.6.93 per outstanding share was made on November 26, 2024. The total payment for the capital reduction was Ps.7,003.1 million.
At the Ordinary and Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting held on April 13, 2023, the shareholders approved a dividend payment of Ps.14.84 per outstanding shares at the date of each payment, excluding shares repurchased in accordance with Article 56 of the Securities Market Law. The first payment for Ps.3.71 per outstanding share was made on May 18, 2023, the second payment for Ps.3.71 per outstanding share was made on July 13, 2023, the third payment for Ps.3.71 per outstanding share was made on October 12, 2023, and the fourth and final payment for Ps.3.71 per outstanding share was made on December 14, 2023. The total dividend payment was Ps.7,498.3 million.
Registration
Our shares have been registered with the National Securities Registry, as required under the Securities Market Law and regulations issued by the Mexican National Banking and Securities Commission. If we wish to cancel our registration, or if it is cancelled by the Mexican National Banking and Securities Commission, we will be required to make a public offer to purchase all outstanding shares, prior to such cancellation. Unless the Mexican National Banking and Securities Commission authorizes otherwise, the price of the offer to purchase will be the higher of: (i) the average of the trading price of our shares during the prior thirty trading days (during a period of no more than six months); or (ii) the book value of the shares in accordance with the most recent quarterly report submitted to the Mexican National Banking and Securities Commission and to the Mexican Stock Exchange. Any waiver to the foregoing provisions included in our bylaws requires the prior approval of the Mexican National Banking and Securities Commission and the approval, at an extraordinary shareholders’ meeting, of 95% of our outstanding capital stock.
Shareholder Ownership Restrictions and Antitakeover Protection
Holders of our shares are subject to the following restrictions:
•holders of Series B shares, either individually or together with their related parties, may not directly or indirectly own more than 10% of our Series B shares;
•although there is no limit on individual holdings of Series BB shares, Series BB shares may represent no more than 15% of our capital stock;
•holders of Series BB shares may also own Series B shares;
•no shareholder may vote more than 10% of our capital stock. Shares in excess of this threshold will be voted in the same manner as the majority of our shares;
•the aforementioned limits may not be circumvented by means of any special trust; collective ownership or voting agreement or any other scheme that could confer a higher percentage of share ownership or voting powers; and
•foreign governments acting in a sovereign capacity may not directly or indirectly own any portion of our capital stock.
A person exceeding the 10% threshold described above with respect to our Series B shares must conduct a public offer of his excess shares.
Any amendment to the ownership restrictions described above requires the vote of shares representing 85% of our capital stock.
Lock-Up Provisions Related to Pending Business Combination
In connection with the Pending Business Combination described in “Item 4, Information on the Company — History and Development of the Company — Pending Business Combination”, shareholders who receive shares in the merger will be subject to lock-up and orderly disposition restrictions designed to prevent market disruption. Under the terms contemplated in the merger agreement governing the Business Combination and related draft resolutions, shareholders receiving shares in the merger will generally be restricted from disposing of those shares for 365 days following our shareholder approval of the merger. Two exceptions to this general restriction would permit these shareholders to dispose of up to 25% of their shares received from the merger after 90 days and an additional 25% after 180 days, meaning that 50% of the shares would remain locked up for the full 365-day period.
Any dispositions during the partial release periods (at 90 days and 180 days) or following the full expiration of the lock-up period must be effected through registered public offerings or block sales that comply with applicable securities laws and must be coordinated with us. We may enter into complementary or ancillary agreements with the shareholders receiving merger shares, including orderly liquidity agreements that formalize these disposition restrictions and coordination requirements, and registration rights agreements that obligate us to facilitate registered offerings to enable these shareholders to dispose of their shares in an orderly manner. These restrictions are intended to prevent a sudden influx of shares into the market that could depress our share price and to give us the ability to coordinate the timing and manner of share sales by large new shareholders.
These lock-up and orderly disposition provisions do not affect the rights attached to the shares, which remain unchanged, but rather impose contractual restrictions on transferability for a defined period. The specific terms of these restrictions remain subject to final documentation and may be modified as part of the ancillary agreements entered into in connection with the closing or the Business Combination.
Changes in Capital Stock
Increases and reductions of our minimum fixed capital must be approved at an extraordinary shareholders’ meeting, subject to the provisions of our bylaws and the Mexican General Law of Business Corporations. Increases or reductions of the variable capital must be approved at an ordinary shareholders’ meeting in compliance with the voting requirements of our bylaws.
Pursuant to Article 53 of the Securities Market Law, we may issue unsubscribe shares that will be kept in treasury, to be subsequently subscribed by the investing public, provided that
•an extraordinary shareholders’ meeting approves the maximum amount of the capital increase and the conditions upon which the corresponding placement of shares shall be made,
•the subscription of issued shares is made through a public offer following registration in the National Securities Registry and complying with the provisions of the Securities Market Law and other applicable law, and
•the amount of the subscribed and paid-in capital of the company is announced when the company makes the authorized capital increase public.
The preferential subscription right provided under Article 132 of the General Law of Commercial Corporations (Ley General de Sociedades Mercantiles) is not applicable to capital increases through public offers.
Subject to the individual ownership limitations set forth in our bylaws, in the event of an increase in our capital stock our shareholders will have a preemptive right to subscribe and pay for new stock issued as a result of such increase in proportion to their shareholder interest at that time, unless the capital increase is made under the provisions of Article 53 of the Securities Market Law. Said preemptive right shall be exercised by any method provided in Section 132 of the Mexican General Corporations Law, by subscription and payment of the relevant stock within fifteen business days after the date of publication of the corresponding notice to our shareholders in the Mexican Federal Gazette and in one of the newspapers of greater circulation in Mexico, provided that if at the corresponding meeting all of our shares are duly represented, the fifteen business day period shall commence on the date of the meeting.
Our capital stock may be reduced by resolution of a shareholders’ meeting taken generally pursuant to the rules applicable to capital increases. Our capital stock may also be reduced upon repurchase of our own stock in accordance with the Securities Market Law. See “Item 10, Additional Information – Corporate Governance – Share Repurchases” below.
Share Repurchases
We may choose to acquire our own shares or negotiable instruments representing such shares through the Mexican Stock Exchange on the following terms and conditions:
•Acquisition and sale on the Mexican Stock Exchange is made at market price (except when dealing with public offerings or auctions authorized by the National Banking and Securities Commission).
•The company must announce the amount of the subscribed and paid-in capital when the amount of the authorized capital represented by the issued and unsubscribe shares is publicly announced.
•The ordinary shareholders’ meeting will expressly determine for each fiscal year the maximum amount of resources that we may use to purchase our own shares or negotiable instruments that represent such shares, with the only limitation that the sum or total of the resources that may be used for such purpose may not exceed, at any time, the total balance of the net profits of the company, including retained profits.
•We must be up to date with the payment of obligations under debt instruments issued and registered in the National Securities Registry that we may have issued.
Shares of the company belonging to us may not be represented or voted in shareholders’ meetings, nor may corporate or economic rights of any kind be exercised, nor will the shares be considered outstanding for the purpose of determining the quorum or voting in shareholders’ meetings.
See “Item 16E, Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer and Affiliated Purchasers.”
Ownership of Capital Stock by Subsidiaries
Our subsidiaries are not allowed to invest in our shares directly or indirectly.
Liquidation
Upon our dissolution, one or more liquidators will be appointed through an extraordinary shareholders’ meeting to wind up our affairs. All fully paid, outstanding shares will be distributed equally. Partially paid shares will be distributed according to the proportion that has been paid at the time of distribution.
Other Provisions
Liabilities of the members of the Board of Directors
As per Mexican corporation law, any shareholder or group of shareholders who possesses at least 5% of our capital stock can take civil liability action directly against the members of our board of directors, based on Article 38 of the Securities Market Law.
Our bylaws further state that if any member of the board of directors violates their duties as outlined in articles 29 to 37 of the Securities Market Law, they will be held accountable and liable to both the company and its shareholders.
However, our bylaws also provide indemnification to the members of the board of directors, board committees, and secretary in case of any violations of their duty of care (deber de diligencia), provided that they acted in good faith and did not breach their duty of loyalty or commit any illicit acts under the Securities Market Law or other applicable law. Moreover, we shall indemnify the members of the board of directors and the secretary for any indemnification liability that they may incur as long as they have not acted in bad faith, violated their duty of loyalty, or committed any illicit act under the Securities Market Law or other applicable law.
Information to Shareholders
The Securities Market Law establishes that we, acting through our board of directors, must annually present a report at a shareholders’ meeting that includes the following:
•A report prepared by the chairman of our Audit Committee, as required by Article 43 of the Securities Market Law, which must cover, among other things: (i) the performance of our top-level officers; (ii) transactions with related parties; (iii) the compensation packages for our directors and officers; (iv) waivers granted by the board of directors regarding corporate opportunities; (v) the situation of our, and our subsidiaries’ internal controls and internal auditing; (vi) preventive and corrective measures adopted in connection with non-compliance with operational and accounting guidelines; (vii) the performance of our external auditor; (viii) additional services provided by our external auditor and independent experts; (ix) the main results of the review of our and our subsidiaries’ financial statements; and (x) the effects of changes to our accounting policies.

This report must be accompanied by the report (dictamen) of the external auditor, and should include, among other things: (i) a report of the directors on the operations of the company during the preceding year, as well as on the policies followed by the directors and on the principal existing projects of the company, (ii) a statement of the financial condition of the company at the end of the fiscal year, (iii) a statement regarding the results of operations of the company during the preceding year, as well as changes in the company’s financial condition and capital stock during the preceding year, and (iv) the notes which are required to complete or clarify the foregoing information.
•The board’s opinion on the contents of the report prepared by the chief executive officer and mentioned in the preceding paragraph.
•A report explaining the principal accounting and information policies and criteria followed in the preparation of financial information.
•A report regarding the operations and activities in which the board participated, as provided under the Securities Market Law.
In addition to the foregoing, our bylaws specify additional information obligations of the board of directors, including that the board of directors should also prepare the information referred to in Article 172 of the General Law on Business Entities with respect to any subsidiary that represents at least 20% of our net worth (based on the financial statements most recently available).
Duration
Our corporate existence has been set at 100 years, expiring in 2098.
Shareholders’ Conflict of Interest
According to Mexican law, if any shareholder has a conflict of interest regarding a transaction, they must abstain from voting at the relevant shareholders’ meeting. If a shareholder decides to vote on such a transaction where their interest conflicts with ours, they may be held liable for damages in case the transaction would not have been approved without such shareholder’s vote.
Directors’ Conflict of Interest
When it comes to directors, under Mexican law, any director who has a conflict of interest in any transaction must inform the other directors about it and avoid voting on the said transaction. If a director breaches this obligation, they will be held liable to us for any resulting damages or losses. Additionally, according to our bylaws, certain conflicts of interest will disqualify a person from serving on our board of directors.
MATERIAL CONTRACTS
Our Mexican subsidiaries are parties to the airport concessions granted by the SICT, under which we are required to construct, operate, maintain, and develop the airports in exchange for certain benefits.

TAXATION
The following is a summary of the material U.S. and Mexican federal income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership, and disposition of our Series B shares or ADSs by a beneficial holder that is a citizen or resident of the United States or a U.S. domestic corporation or that otherwise is subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net profit basis in respect of our Series B shares or ADSs, and that is a “non-Mexican holder” (as defined below), (a “U.S. holder”), but it does not purport to be a comprehensive description of all of the tax considerations that may be relevant to a decision to purchase, hold or dispose of our Series B shares or ADSs. In particular, the summary of U.S. tax considerations deals only with U.S. holders that hold our Series B shares or ADSs as capital assets and does not address the tax treatment of special classes of U.S. holders such as entities treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes or a partner in such partnership, dealers in securities or currencies, U.S. holders whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar, U.S. holders that own or are treated as owning 10% or more of our outstanding shares by vote or value, tax-exempt organizations, financial institutions, U.S. holders liable for the alternative minimum tax or net investment income tax, securities traders who elect to account for their investment in Series B shares or ADSs on a mark-to-market basis and investors holding Series B shares or ADSs in a hedging transaction or as part of a straddle, conversion or other integrated transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The summary of Mexican tax considerations does not purport to be a comprehensive description of all the Mexican tax considerations that may be relevant to a decision to purchase, own or dispose of the Series B shares or ADSs and does not address all of the Mexican tax consequences that may be applicable to specific holders of the Series B shares or ADSs (including a holder that controls the Company, an investor that holds 10% or more of the Series B shares or ADSs by vote or value or holders that constitute a group of persons for purposes of Mexican law that controls the Company or that holds 10% or more of the Series B shares or ADSs by vote or value, or a holder that is a resident of Mexico or that is a corporation resident in a tax haven (as defined in the Mexican Income Tax Law). In addition, the summary does not address any U.S. or Mexican state or local tax considerations that may be relevant to a U.S. holder.
The summary is based upon the federal income tax laws of the United States of America (hereinafter “United States” or “U.S.”) and the United Mexican States (hereinafter “Mexico”) as in effect on the date of this annual report on Form 20-F, including the provisions of The Convention between the Government of the United States of America and the Government of the United Mexican States for the Avoidance of Double Taxation and the Prevention of Fiscal Evasion with Respect to Taxes on Income, together with related Protocols and Competent Authority Agreements (hereinafter “Tax Treaty”), all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect in the case of U.S. federal income tax law. Prospective investors in our Series B shares or ADSs should consult their own tax advisors as to the U.S., Mexican or other tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of the Series B shares or ADSs, including, in particular, the effect of any foreign, state or local tax laws and their entitlement to the benefits, if any, afforded by the Tax Treaty.
For purposes of this summary, the term “non-Mexican holder” shall mean a holder that is not a resident of Mexico for federal tax purposes and that does not hold Series B shares or ADSs or a beneficial interest therein in connection with the conduct of a trade or business through a permanent establishment or fixed base in Mexico.
For the purposes of Mexican taxation, the definition of residency is quite complex and can lead to various scenarios. Generally, an individual is a resident of Mexico if they have established their home within the country. Similarly, a corporation is deemed a resident if its place of effective management or center of interest is located in Mexico. An individual who maintains a home in both, Mexico and another country will be classified as a resident of Mexico if Mexico is determined to be their significant center of interest (e.g., based on the income obtained on each country). It is important to note that residency determinations must take into account the unique circumstances of each individual or legal entity. Furthermore, if a legal entity or an individual is deemed to have a permanent establishment in Mexico for tax purposes, all income attributable to that permanent establishment will be subject to Mexican income tax, in accordance with the relevant tax laws.
In general, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, holders of ADSs are treated as beneficial owners of the Series B shares represented by those ADSs. Accordingly, deposits and withdrawals of Series B shares by U.S. holders in exchange for ADSs will not result in the realization of gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
Taxation of Dividends
Mexican Tax Considerations
Under the Mexican Income Tax Law, dividends paid to Mexican individuals or any foreign residents are subject to a 10% withholding tax if paid from earnings generated during and after 2014 but are not subject to Mexican withholding tax if paid from earnings generated before 2014. Non-Mexican holders may be subject to withholding tax at reduced rates if they are eligible for benefits under an applicable tax treaty with Mexico.
There is a tax incentive for Mexican individuals to claim a credit for dividends generated in 2014, 2015 and 2016 that are reinvested in our Company. This credit applies as follows: (i) if the dividends are paid in 2017, a net 9% tax would be withheld (comprising the 10% withholding tax less a 1% credit), such that 10% of the 10% withholding tax would be credited under the incentive; (ii) if the dividends are paid in 2018, a net 8% tax would be withheld (comprising the 10% withholding tax less a 2% credit), such that 20% of the 10% withholding tax would be credited under the incentive; or (iii) if the dividends are paid in 2019 or thereafter, a net 5% tax would be withheld (comprising the 10% withholding tax less a 5% credit), such that 50% of the 10% withholding tax would be credited under the incentive. This tax incentive should not be considered as a taxable for Mexican tax purposes.
U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations
The gross amount of any distributions paid with respect to the Series B shares or ADSs, to the extent paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes, generally are includible in the gross income of a U.S. holder as ordinary income on the date on which the distributions are received by the depositary and are not eligible for the dividends received deduction allowed to certain corporations under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). To the extent that a distribution exceeds our current and accumulated earnings and profits, it is treated as a non-taxable return of basis to the extent thereof, and thereafter as capital gain from the sale of Series B shares or ADSs. We do not expect to maintain calculations of our earnings and profits in accordance with U.S. federal income tax principles. U.S. Holders therefore should expect that distributions generally will be treated as dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Distributions, which are made in pesos, are includible in the income of a U.S. holder in a U.S. dollar amount calculated by reference to the exchange rate in effect on the date they are received by the U.S. holder in the case of Series B shares or by the depositary in the case of ADSs, whether or not they are converted into U.S. dollars on the date of receipt. If such distributions are converted into U.S. dollars on the date of receipt, a U.S. holder generally should not be required to recognize foreign currency gain or loss in respect of the distributions. Any gain or loss on a subsequent conversion or other disposition of the pesos generally will be treated as ordinary income or loss to such U.S. holder and generally will be income or loss from sources within the United States for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes.
The U.S. dollar amount of dividends received by certain non-corporate U.S. holders with respect to the Series B shares or ADSs will be subject to taxation at preferential rates if the dividends are “qualified dividends.” Subject to certain exceptions for short-term and hedged positions, dividends will be treated as qualified dividends if: (i) we are eligible for the benefits of a comprehensive income tax treaty with the United States that the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) has approved for the purpose of the qualified dividend rules; and (ii) we were not, in the year prior to the year in which the dividend was paid, and are not, in the year in which the dividend is paid, a passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”). The Tax Treaty has been approved for the purposes of the qualified dividend rule. In addition, based on our audited consolidated financial statements and relevant market and shareholder data, we believe that we were not treated as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes with respect to our 2025 taxable year. Based on our audited consolidated financial statements and our current expectations regarding the value and nature of our assets, the sources and nature of our income, and relevant market and shareholder data, we do not anticipate becoming a PFIC for our 2026 taxable year. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the availability of the reduced dividend tax rate in light of their own particular circumstances.
Subject to generally applicable limitations and conditions, Mexican dividend withholding tax paid at the appropriate rate applicable to the U.S. holder may be eligible for a credit against such U.S. holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability. These generally applicable limitations and conditions include requirements adopted by the IRS in regulations promulgated in December 2021 and any Mexican tax will need to satisfy these requirements in order to be eligible to be a creditable tax for a U.S. holder. In the case of a U.S. holder that either (i) is eligible for, and property elects, the benefits of the Tax Treaty, or (ii) consistently elects to apply a modified version of these rules under temporary guidance and complies with specific requirements set forth in such guidance the Mexican tax on dividends will be treated as meeting the requirements and therefore as a creditable tax. In the case of all other U.S. holders, the application of these requirements to the Mexican tax on dividends is uncertain and we have not determined whether these requirements have been met. If the Mexican tax on dividends is not a creditable tax for a U.S. holder or the U.S. holder does not elect to claim a foreign tax credit for any foreign income taxes paid or accrued in the same taxable year,
the U.S. holder may be able to deduct the Mexican tax in computing such U.S. holder’s taxable income for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Dividend distributions will constitute income from sources without the United States and, for U.S. holders that elect to claim foreign tax credits, generally will constitute “passive category income” for foreign tax credit purposes. The availability and calculation of foreign tax credits and deductions for foreign taxes depend on a U.S. holder’s particular circumstances and involve the application of complex rules to those circumstances. The temporary guidance discussed above also indicates that the Treasury and the IRS are considering proposing amendments to the December 2021 regulations and that the temporary guidance can be relied upon until additional guidance is issued that withdraws or modifies the temporary guidance. U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the application of these rules to their particular situations.
Taxation of Dispositions of Shares or ADSs
Mexican Tax Considerations
Subject to applicable tax treaties, any gain on the sale of our shares by any holder is subject to a 10% withholding tax in Mexico on the net gain from the sale if the transaction is carried out through the Mexican Stock Exchange. These taxes are paid through withholdings made by the financial intermediary. However, these withholdings will not be applicable to a non-resident holder that demonstrates (before the relevant financial intermediary) residence in a country with which Mexico holds a tax treaty to avoid double taxation. The non-resident holder must provide the financial intermediary with a signed document stating that the non-resident holder is a foreign resident and that their country of residence has a tax treaty to avoid double taxation with Mexico and provide their Tax ID.
In accordance with current Mexican tax law, any gain on the sale or transfer of ADSs through a securities market recognized by the Mexican Tax Code (Código Fiscal de la Federación), including the NYSE, by any non-resident holder who resides in a country with which Mexico holds a tax treaty is exempt from income tax payment in Mexico. However, current Mexican tax law is not clear with respect to the treatment of sales of ADSs by non-resident holders who also do not reside in a country with which Mexico has a tax treaty.
The sale or transfer of shares not in the form of ADSs outside of the Mexican Stock Exchange will give rise to a 25% Mexican withholding tax on the gross proceeds realized from the transaction. Subject to certain exceptions, a non-Mexican holder may elect to pay taxes on the gains realized from the sale of shares on a net basis at a rate of 35.0%.
U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations
Upon the sale or other disposition of the Series B shares or ADSs, a U.S. holder will generally recognize gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized and such U.S. holder’s tax basis in the Series B shares or ADSs (in U.S. dollars). Such gain or loss will generally be capital gain or loss. Gain or loss recognized by a U.S. holder on such sale or other disposition generally is treated as long-term capital gain or loss if, at the time of the sale or other disposition, the Series B shares or ADSs had been held for more than one year. Long-term capital gain recognized by a non-corporate U.S. holder is taxable at reduced rates. The deduction of a capital loss is subject to limitations. A U.S. holder that receives non-U.S. currency from a sale or other disposition of the Series B shares or ADSs generally will recognize an amount equal to the U.S. dollar value of such non-U.S. currency on the date the Series B shares or ADSs are disposed of. A cash basis or electing an accrual basis taxpayer will determine the U.S. dollar value of the amount realized by translating such amount at the spot rate on the settlement date of the sale. If an accrual basis U.S. holder makes the election described above, it must be applied consistently from year to year and cannot be revoked without the consent of the IRS. A U.S. holder will have a tax basis in any non-U.S. currency received in respect of the sale or other disposition of its Series B shares or ADSs equal to its U.S. dollar value calculated at the exchange rate in effect on the date of such sale or other disposition (or in the case of a cash basis or electing accrual basis taxpayer the exchange rate in effect on the date of the receipt).
A U.S. holder generally will not be entitled to credit any Mexican tax imposed on the sale or other disposition of the series B shares or ADSs against such U.S. holder’s federal income tax liability, except in the case of a U.S. holder that consistently elects to apply a modified version of the U.S. foreign tax credit rules that is permitted under the temporary guidance discussed above and complies with the specific requirements set forth in such guidance. Additionally, capital gain or loss recognized by a U.S. holder on the sale or other disposition of the Series B shares or ADSs generally will be U.S. source gain or loss for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes. Consequently, even if the Mexican tax qualifies as a creditable tax, a U.S. holder may not be able to credit the tax against its U.S. federal income tax liability unless such credit can be applied (subject to generally applicable conditions and limitations) against tax due on other income treated as derived from foreign sources. If the Mexican tax is not a creditable tax, the tax would reduce the amount realized on the sale or disposition of the Series B shares or ADSs even if the U.S. holder has elected to claim a foreign tax credit for other taxes in the same year. The temporary guidance discussed above also indicates that the Treasury and the IRS are considering proposed amendments to the December 2021 regulations and that the temporary guidance can be relied upon until additional guidance is issued that withdraws or modifies the temporary guidance. U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the application of the foreign tax credit rules to a sale or other disposition of the Series B shares or ADSs and any Mexican tax imposed on such sale or disposition.
Other Taxes
Other Mexican Taxes
There are no Mexican inheritance, gift, succession or value-added taxes applicable to the ownership, transfer or disposition of the Series B shares or ADSs by non-Mexican holders; provided, however, that gratuitous transfers of Series B shares or ADSs may in certain circumstances cause a Mexican federal tax to be imposed upon the recipient. There are no Mexican stamp, issue, registration or similar taxes or duties payable by non-Mexican holders of Series B shares or ADSs.
U.S. Backup Withholding Tax and Information Reporting Requirements
Dividends paid on, and proceeds from the sale or other disposition of Series B shares or ADSs to a U.S. holder generally may be subject to the information reporting requirements of the Code and may be subject to backup withholding unless the U.S. holder provides an accurate taxpayer identification number and makes any other required certification or otherwise establishes an exemption. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. The amount of any backup withholding from a payment to a U.S. holder will be allowed as a refund or credit against the U.S. holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, provided the required information is furnished to the IRS in a timely manner.
U.S. Foreign Financial Asset Reporting
Certain U.S. holders that own “specified foreign financial assets” with an aggregate value in excess of U.S$50,000 on the last day of the taxable year or U.S.$75,000 at any time during the taxable year are generally required to file an information statement along with their tax returns, currently on IRS Form 8938, with respect to such assets. “Specified foreign financial assets” include any financial accounts held at a non-U.S. financial institution, as well as securities issued by a non-U.S. issuer that are not held in accounts maintained by financial institutions. The understatement of income attributable to “specified foreign financial assets” in excess of U.S.$5,000 extends the statute of limitations with respect to the tax return to six years after the return was filed. U.S. holders who fail to report the required information could be subject to substantial penalties. Prospective investors are encouraged to consult with their own tax advisors regarding the possible application of these rules, including the application of the rules to their particular circumstances.

Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Market Risk
See Note 4 to our audited consolidated financial statements for additional disclosures regarding market risk.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
Our primary foreign exchange exposure relates to fluctuations in the value of the Mexican peso relative to the U.S. dollar. Historically, a significant portion of the revenues generated by our Mexican airports (primarily passenger charges for international passengers) has been denominated in, or linked to, the U.S. dollar but collected in pesos based on the average exchange rate from the prior month.
In 2023, 2024, and 2025, passenger charges for international passengers accounted for approximately 24.9%, 25.3%, and 24.3% of our total revenues. In those same years, these international passenger charges represented 32.5%, 31.8%, and 30.9% of our combined aeronautical and non-aeronautical revenues.
A depreciation of the peso against the U.S. dollar, particularly toward the end of the year, could cause us to exceed the maximum rates applicable at one or more of our Mexican airports. If this occurs, we may need to grant discounts on passenger charges or to airlines. Conversely, if the peso appreciates against the U.S. dollar, we might underestimate the specific tariffs applicable to regulated services, limiting our ability to adjust prices upwards to maximize regulated revenues.
In 2025, approximately 19.4% of our aeronautical and non-aeronautical revenues were denominated in U.S. dollars. We estimate that approximately 23.8% of our consolidated costs and expenses were also denominated in U.S. dollars. If the peso had depreciated by 10% annually against the U.S. dollar as of December 31, 2025, our revenues would have increased by approximately Ps.516.3 million, and our costs and expenses would have increased by approximately Ps.328.1 million.
As of December 31, 2023, 2024, and 2025, 81.3%, 37.0%, and 30.4% of our cash and marketable securities were denominated in U.S. dollars, respectively. As of those same dates, 13.1%, 12.9%, and 9.8% of our debt was denominated in U.S. dollars. Any future depreciation in of the peso compared to the U.S. dollar would increase the cost, in pesos, of servicing this debt.
As of December 31, 2023, 2024, and 2025, we did not have any outstanding forward foreign exchange contracts.
Interest Rate Risk
Historically, we have financed most of our capital expenditures through bank loans. In recent years, we shifted to funding a significant portion of our capital investments through debt issuances on the Mexican capital markets, a strategy we expect to continue subject to market conditions. We expect to continue to do so, subject to market conditions. See “Item 5, Operating and Financial Review and Prospects – Liquidity and Capital Resources – Indebtedness,” for more information.
As of December 31, 2025, we had Ps.26.4 billion in variable-rate debt outstanding. In the past, we have entered into interest rate swaps covering Ps.3.0 billion to mitigate the risk associated with increases in variable interest rates applicable to our GAP 20 long-term debt securities and MBJA’s loan with Bank of Nova Scotia concluded with the maturity and paid of the debt securities in February 2025 and September 2025. As of December 31, 2025, our fixed-rate debt amounted to Ps.26.6 billion, out of a total debt of Ps.53.0 billion; consequently, 50.2% of our total debt was fixed after considering these swaps.
On March 2, 2020, we entered into a contract with Scotiabank for a derivative financial transaction involving an interest rate swap. This was done to mitigate the risk associated with the tranche of the GAP 20 long-term debt securities. The contract amount is Ps.3.0 billion, and with a fixed interest rate of 6.332% payable at the maturity of the long-term debt securities, which were settled on February 6, 2025.
On March 1, 2022, we entered into a contract with Scotiabank for a derivative financial transaction involving an interest rate swap. This actions was taken to hedge the risk of rising SOFR-1 month rates for two loans that MBJA has in USD for a total of U.S.$42.0 million. Specifically, U.S.$12.0 million, which accrues an interest rate SOFR-1 month plus 3.10%, is swapped for 1.59% until the loan expires. Additionally, U.S.$30.0 million, which accrues an interest rate SOFR-1 month plus 2.85%, is swapped for 1.785% until the loan expires.
Changes in fair value are recognized temporarily through other comprehensive income within equity and profit and loss as hedging reserve and are recycled to financial expenses as the interest of the debt securities is recognized.
During 2023, we paid (i) Ps.2,281.2 million of interest expense under variable interest rate loans, with an average TIIE-28 rate of 11.42% plus a contractual fixed spread and an average SOFR of 5.19%, plus a contractual fixed spread and (ii) Ps.1,380.8 million of interest expense under fixed-rate loans. Based upon a 100 basis points increase in the TIIE-28 and the SOFR as of December 31, 2023, our interest expense would have increased by Ps.300.1 million.
During 2024, we paid (i) Ps.2,566.5 million of interest expense under variable interest rate loans, with an average TIIE-28 rate of 11.03% plus a contractual fixed spread and an average SOFR of 5.16%, plus a contractual fixed spread and (ii) Ps.1,610.7 million of interest expense under fixed-rate loans. Based upon a 100 basis points increase in the TIIE-28 and the SOFR as of December 31, 2024, our interest expense would have increased by Ps.326.3 million.
During 2025, we paid (i) Ps.2,329.4 million of interest expense under variable interest rate loans, with an average TIIE-28 rate of 8.3% plus a contractual fixed spread and an average SOFR of 4.20%, plus a contractual fixed spread and (ii) Ps.2,596.0 million of interest expense under fixed-rate loans. Based upon a 100 basis points increase in the TIIE funding and the SOFR as of December 31, 2025, our interest expense would have increased by Ps.282.6 million.
Because both our U.S. dollar loans and our peso bond debt have variable interest rates, an increase without interest rate hedges would reduce our cash flows. To reduce our exposure, we have contracted interest rate hedges with Scotiabank. The financial instruments with Scotiabank to cover the GAP 19 and GAP 20 long-term debt securities were entered into for speculative purposes and were formally designated. Therefore, these instruments qualified as hedging instruments for accounting purposes, and as a result, changes in their fair value are recognized in other comprehensive income and profit or loss in the cash flow hedge reserve in 2023 and 2024.As of December 2025, there are no outstanding financial instruments.
In 2023 and 2024, we recognized Ps.60.7 million and Ps.4.6 million, respectively, in the reserve for the gain on cash flow hedges. As of December 31, 2025, no gain or loss was recognized.
On February 27, 2019, we entered into a hedge of the variable interest rate generated by the debt securities issued in March 2019. These debt securities were issued at a 28-day TIIE variable rate plus 45 basis points, so a swap was contracted to convert it to a fixed rate of 8.03%. As of December 31, 2024, we recognized Ps.23.7 million as finance income as a result of the application of the hedge because the fixed rate contracted in the swap was lower than the TIIE, and it concluded with the repayment of the principal on March 22, 2024.
On March 2, 2020, we entered into a hedge of the variable interest rate generated by the debt securities issued in February 2020. These debt securities were issued at a 28-day TIIE variable rate plus 17 basis points, so a swap was contracted to convert it to a fixed rate of 6.332%. As of December 31, 2025, we recognized Ps.12.7 million as finance income as a result of the application of the hedge because the fixed rate contracted in the swap was lower than the TIIE, which ended on February 6, 2025, with the maturity and payment of the certificates..
On March 1, 2022, we contracted Scotiabank for a derivative financial transaction by exchange of interest rates (swaps) in order to hedge the risk of increasing the SOFR-1 month, of the two loans that MBJA has in USD for a total of U.S.$42.0 million. U.S.$12.0 million that accrues an interest rate SOFR-1 month plus 3.10% is swapped for 1.59%, until the expiration of the loan and the U.S.$30.0 million that accrues an interest rate SOFR-1 month plus 2.85% is swapped for 1.785%, until the expiration of the loan. Changes in fair value will be recognized temporarily through other comprehensive income within equity and profit and loss as hedging reserve and are recycled to financial expenses as the interest of the loans are recognized, the derivative is only for SOFR-1 month. As of December 31, 2022, we recognized U.S.$0.2 million as finance cost as a result of the application of the hedge because the fixed rate contracted in the swap was higher than SOFR-1 month. As of December 31, 2023, and 2024, we recognized U.S.$0.1 million and U.S.$0.1 million, respectively as finance income as a result of the application of the hedge because the fixed rate contracted in the swap was lower than SOFR-1 month.

The depositary of our ADSs, The Bank of New York Mellon, collects its fees directly from investors depositing shares or surrendering ADSs for withdrawal, or from intermediaries acting on their behalf, by deducting the applicable fees from amounts distributed or by selling a portion of the distributable property to cover such fees. For example, the depositary may deduct fees from cash distributions, bill investors directly, or charge the book-entry system accounts of participants acting on their behalf. The depositary may generally refuse to provide fee-attracting services until the corresponding fees have been paid.
Reimbursements by the Depositary
The Bank of New York Mellon, as depositary of our ADSs, pays us an agreed amount, which includes expenses related to the administration and maintenance of the ADS facility, including, but not limited to, investor relations expenses, the annual NYSE listing fees (as invoiced in the reimbursement request submitted to the depositary), or other program-related expenses. Although there are limits on the expenses the depositary will reimburse, the amount available to us is not necessarily tied to the fees collected by the depositary from investors. In 2023 and 2024, we received no reimbursements from the depositary for expenses corresponding to 2022 and 2023, respectively. In 2025, we received reimbursements from the depositary for expenses corresponding to 2024, for a total amount of Ps.104.7 thousand.
