Airports operator ASA saw record passenger numbers in 2018

Government-owned airports operator Aeropuertos y Servicios Auxiliares, or ASA, saw a record 3,016,631 passengers at its facilities in 2018, up 17% from the previous year.

The ASA operates 19 airports, which were used by 316,474 more travelers than in 2017. It attributed the increase in traffic to the inauguration of new air routes.
