A Christmastime dropoff at the resort city of Acapulco led Mexican airport operator Grupo Aeroportuario del Centro Norte SAB to its first decline in passenger traffic for the month of December since 2009.
OMA, as the company is known for short, reported a 0.2 percent decrease in total passenger traffic for December, including a 9.8 percent slump in Acapulco and a 23 percent decline in Reynosa, on the Texas border. For the full year, overall traffic rose 4.8 percent, fueled by growth at OMA’s busiest airport, in the business hub of Monterrey.
