GAP reported total terminal passengers of 5.237 million in March 2026, down 8.9% versus March 2025. In Mexico, the 12 airports posted a 7.6% decline in total passengers, while Jamaica showed a split: Kingston rose 1.0% and Montego Bay fell 25.7%, with the Montego Bay decline attributed to disruptions tied to Hurricane Melissa.

Tourist and cross-border-exposed airports were among the largest decliners: Puerto Vallarta fell 24.4% year over year, Tijuana fell 8.7%, Los Cabos fell 6.9%, and Guadalajara fell 2.3%. The report also flagged softer industry operating metrics in the month, with available seats down 4.5% and load factors dropping to 75.5% from 81.5% a year earlier. (globenewswire.com)

Investors often trade airport operators on forward expectations for aeronautical and non-aeronautical revenue, capacity normalization, and the pace of recovery after one-off disruptions; the March release provided more granular context on what moved volumes and highlighted new routes being launched. The company listed multiple new routes starting during the period, including additions by Southwest and Volaris across Puerto Vallarta, Los Cabos, and Guadalajara that could support future throughput if sustained.
