Company

Company overview

Grupo Aeroportuario del Pacifico runs airports rather than airlines. Most of its revenue comes from airport services, with departing-passenger charges the largest source. Airlines collect those charges through tickets and pass the money to the airports. Airlines also pay for landing, aircraft parking and other facilities and services.

The company earns additional income from businesses serving travelers inside its airports. Restaurants and retailers pay rent, often based on sales but subject to a guaranteed minimum. It also operates parking facilities and sells advertising. This smaller commercial business depends on how many passengers pass through the terminals and what they spend.

Revenue depends on airlines maintaining routes and flight frequency. Volaris is its largest passenger-charge collection partner, followed by Viva, making both important to traffic and cash collection. Most airport-service revenue comes from Guadalajara, Los Cabos, Tijuana, Puerto Vallarta and Montego Bay, while travel to and from the United States dominates international passenger traffic. Mexico and Jamaica cap regulated airport charges, limiting the company’s ability to raise prices when traffic falls. Continued operation also requires keeping its concessions and meeting mandatory airport investment commitments.

Moat

PAC depends heavily on Volaris, its largest source of airline traffic: passenger charges collected by Volaris accounted for 21.9% of PAC’s combined aeronautical and non-aeronautical revenue in 2025.

  • ASUR shares PAC’s exposure to Mexican air-travel demand: both operate airports, collecting airport-use fees from airlines and passengers and rents from commercial tenants. Watch international passenger traffic at ASUR’s Cancún airport, whose destination competes with PAC’s resorts for tourists.

  • OMA and PAC both depend on Mexican passenger traffic and government airport concessions, earning fees from airlines and passengers and income from terminal businesses. OMA’s restaurant and retail rents offer a comparison for PAC’s commercial income, separate from regulated airport-use fees.

  • Corporación América Airports shares PAC’s dependence on passenger volumes: both operate airports under long-term concessions, charging airlines and passengers regulated fees for using facilities and earning commercial revenue. Its international passenger mix is worth watching because international fees are generally higher than domestic or transit fees.

  • American Airlines brings paying passengers to PAC’s airports and collects passenger charges that represented 5.2% of PAC’s combined aeronautical and non-aeronautical revenue in 2025. Watch its service at Los Cabos: American sells air travel, but its airport agreements do not require continuous service, and PAC cannot count on other airlines replacing cancelled flights.

    Fed Interest Rate Decision

    For Pacific Airport Group, U.S. rates matter because higher borrowing costs can increase interest expense on MBJA’s SOFR-linked revolving loan, while much of the group’s disclosed variable-rate debt is tied to Mexico’s TIIE.
