Regulatory Uncertainty: The negotiation process for the next Master Development Program (MDP) with AFAC is ongoing, with technical observations still being addressed.

Key Q&A
Q:What are your traffic expectations for the fourth quarter and early thoughts on 2026, considering the World Cup?
A:Traffic growth for the year is expected to be between 7% and 8%. For next year, traffic growth is anticipated to be in the low to mid-single digits.
Q:Why did commercial revenue per passenger decline this quarter, and how do you plan to reaccelerate growth in this area?
A:The decline in commercial revenue per passenger was due to onetime revenues recorded in the previous year. Commercial revenues per passenger are expected to gradually increase in line with inflation in the following quarters.

Q:For the next MDP, will the capital allocated to Monterrey focus on increasing airport capacity or developing commercial spaces?
A:Around half of the MDP will be allocated to Monterrey, focusing on expanding capacity, generating commercial opportunities, and including projects related to pavement, technology, environmental, and sustainability.
