MEXICO CITY, Sept. 03, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Grupo Aeroméxico S.A.B. de C.V. (NYSE: AERO & BMV: AERO, "Aeroméxico") reports its August 2026 operational results.
Grupo Aeroméxico's total capacity, measured in available seat miles (ASMs), increased 2.3% year-over-year, while demand, measured in revenue passenger miles (RPMs), increased 2.9%.
Aeroméxico's August load factor was 89.7%, an increase of 0.6 p.p. compared with August 2025. During the month, Aeroméxico transported 2 million and 151 thousand passengers.
Andrés Conesa, Chief Executive Officer stated: "Our August traffic results demonstrate the strength of demand across our network, as we concluded the peak summer travel season with strong domestic and international load factors despite a challenging comparison with August 2025. Forward bookings continue to reflect healthy demand trends as we move into the fall season, reinforcing our confidence in the demand outlook. As we continue to navigate an evolving operating environment with higher fuel cost than previously anticipated, we remain focused on the factors within our control: disciplined capacity deployment, network optimization, and fuel recapture initiatives, to capitalize on demand opportunities while supporting long-term profitability."
