Company’s Financial Position:

During 3Q24, there was a decrease in the Company's aeronautical revenues compared to 3Q23, mainly due to the decline in passenger traffic, as a result of preventive reviews of Pratt & Whitney A320neo and A321neo engines, which affected the fleet operated by Volaris and VivaAerobus and that started in the third quarter of 2023 reaching its highest volume in the 3Q24. This decrease was offset by an increase in non-aeronautical revenues of 38.7%, generated mainly by the consolidation of the cargo and free trade zone business at the Guadalajara airport starting in July 2024. The Company reports a financial position of cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2024, of Ps. 15,828.0 million. During 3Q24, the Company refinanced the credit facilities with Citibanamex for Ps. 1,000.0 million and for USD$40.0 million, additionally, on September 5, 2024, the Company issued long-term bond certificates for an amount of Ps. 5,648.1 million, for capital investments and debt refinancing.
