Mexico City, October 19, 2017 - Grupo Aeroportuario del Sureste, S.A.B. de C.V. (NYSE: ASR; BMV: ASUR) (ASUR), the first privatized airport group in Mexico and operator of Cancun Airport and eight other airports in southeast Mexico, as well as a JV partner in Aerostar Airport Holdings, LLC, operator of the Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport in San Juan, today announced its subsidiary Aeropuerto de Cancun S.A de C.V. has concluded the acquisition of a controlling stake of approximately 92.42% in Sociedad Operadora de Aeropuertos de Centro Norte, S.A.

Airplan is the second-largest airport concession holder in Colombia, with 10,361,612 passengers in 2016 and 5,157,800 passengers in the period from January to June 2017.
