The large rise in the year-over-year comparison at Cozumel airport was mainly due to sharply reduced passenger traffic in October 2006 as a result of damage inflicted by Hurricanes Emily and Wilma, which hit the Yucatan Peninsula in August and October 2005 respectively. Although there has since been a substantial recovery, passenger traffic at Cozumel airport continues to be affected by the impact of Hurricane Wilma.
ASUR also confirmed that its annual report on Form 20-F and its audited financial statements for 2006 have been available since they were filed in July 2007 on its website at www.asur.com.mx. If you would like a hard copy of ASUR's audited financial statements, please send an email to ir@asur.com.mx with your mailing address and one will be provided free of charge.
