Over the past year, Grupo Aeroportuario del Centro Norte (OMA) has achieved robust passenger and revenue growth, underpinned by record traffic at Monterrey International Airport and major infrastructure upgrades across its network. With sustained investments, new retail partnerships, and expansion projects aligned with VINCI Airports, OMA is positioning itself as a key gateway for Mexico’s aviation and economic growth in the lead-up to the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

According to its third-quarter 2025 financial results, OMA handled 7.6 million passengers, a 7.7% year-on-year increase over the same quarter in 2024, and 21.2 million passengers in the first nine months of 2025, marking a 9.3% rise from the prior year. Domestic traffic accounted for 86.4% of total volume, while international traffic expanded by 11.2%

The Monterrey International Airport (MTY), OMA’s main hub and Mexico’s fourth-busiest airport, was the standout performer, with passenger traffic rising 14.1% year-on-year in the third quarter. Other strong performers included San Luis Potosí (+21.7%), Chihuahua (+8.2%), and Zacatecas (+23.9%). In contrast, Mazatlán, Culiacán, and Reynosa saw traffic declines amid route adjustments and competitive pressures.
