Pacific Airport Group Sees 7.6% Passenger Traffic Decline in April, Hurricane Hits Jamaica Operations
Summary
Pacific Airport Group reported a significant 7.6% year-over-year decrease in total passenger traffic for April 2026. This operational update indicates potential revenue headwinds for the company, as passenger volume is a primary driver of airport income. The decline was particularly pronounced in Jamaica, with Montego Bay experiencing a 22.0% drop attributed to disruptions from Hurricane Melissa, while Mexican airports collectively saw a 6.3% decrease. Traders will closely monitor subsequent monthly traffic reports to assess if this decline is an isolated event due to the hurricane or signals a broader, more persistent slowdown in travel demand across its network.
