GUADALAJARA, Mexico, Oct. 30 GAP-charge-change
GUADALAJARA, Mexico, Oct. 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Grupo Aeroportuario del Pacifico, S.A.B. de C.V. (NYSE: PAC; BMV: GAP) ("the Company" or "GAP") announced today additional information regarding passenger charges.
As per the press release issued October 19 regarding passenger charges, GAP informs that all of the airlines that currently operate at the Company's airports, have opted to continue collecting passenger charges on behalf of GAP. As a result, this process will not affect passengers, thus passenger charges would continue being included in the price of the airplane ticket.
It is important to clarify that the administrative process portion of this agreement between the airlines and GAP has yet to be completed, thus in the case that any one of the airlines is unable to complete this process and the passenger charges would need to be collected at the airport in the future, GAP would give passengers of that airline advance notice.
Company Description:

(GAP) operates 12 airports throughout Mexico's Pacific region, including the major cities of Guadalajara and Tijuana, the four tourist destinations of Puerto Vallarta, Los Cabos, La Paz and Manzanillo, and six other mid-sized cities: Hermosillo, Bajio, Morelia, Aguascalientes, Mexicali and Los Mochis.
