Mexico’s Grupo Aeroportuario Centro Norte (OMA) saw a year-on-year improvement in passenger throughput for the nine months ended 30 September 2023 by close to 20% compared the same period in 2023.

VINCI Airports has acquired about 30% of the shares of OMA, which has largely recovered from the COVID-19 pandemic. OMA is also focusing on expanding Monterrey International Airport, but faces the challenges to its financial position with the announcement by the Mexican government of tariff hikes.

From January to September 2023, OMA’s airports handled 20.0 million passengers compared to the 16.8 million passengers handled in the same period in 2023. Domestic passengers made up close to 90% of passengers handled during this period.
