PR Newswire (US)
GUADALAJARA, Mexico, Oct. 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Grupo
Aeroportuario del Pacifico, S.A.B. de C.V. (NYSE: PAC; BMV: GAP)
("the Company" or "GAP") announced today additional information
regarding passenger charges. As per the press release issued
October 19 regarding passenger charges, GAP informs that all of the
airlines that currently operate at the Company's airports, have
opted to continue collecting passenger charges on behalf of GAP. As
a result, this process will not affect passengers, thus passenger
charges would continue being included in the price of the airplane
ticket. It is important to clarify that the administrative process
portion of this agreement between the airlines and GAP has yet to
be completed, thus in the case that any one of the airlines is
unable to complete this process and the passenger charges would
need to be collected at the airport in the future, GAP would give
passengers of that airline advance notice. Company Description:
Grupo Aeroportuario del Pacifico, S.A.B. de C.V. (GAP) operates 12
airports throughout Mexico's Pacific region, including the major
cities of Guadalajara and Tijuana, the four tourist destinations of
Puerto Vallarta, Los Cabos, La Paz and Manzanillo, and six other
mid-sized cities: Hermosillo, Bajio, Morelia, Aguascalientes,
Mexicali and Los Mochis. In February 2006, GAP's shares were listed
on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol "PAC" and on
the Mexican Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol "GAP". This
press release may contain forward-looking statements. These
statements are not historical facts, and are based on management's
current view and estimates of future economic circumstances,
industry conditions, company performance and financial results. The
