Monday, Mexican airport operator Grupo Aeroportuario del Centro Norte, S.A.B. de C.V., known as OMA, (OMAB) reported that terminal passenger traffic at its 13 airports in August 2009 decreased 12.9% to 1.03 million from last year's 1.18 million. The company noted that total passenger traffic volumes during August decreased at a slower rate than during any prior month of the year, mainly due to the performance of domestic traffic.
Domestic traffic decreased 11% year-over-year to 896 thousand, and international traffic fell 24.1% to 132.7 thousand. The overall volume of domestic traffic was affected by the temporary suspension of operations of Aviacsa and the departure from the markets of Alma, Aladia and Avolar.
