The privatisation of Mexican airports

Abstract

In 1998 the Mexican government began airport privatisation when three regional corporations were created each having a group of airports under concessions guaranteeing them a profitable market. This paper describes the airports' privatisation process, reviews the pattern of use, and offers a short analysis of the financial results. The outcome has been a general tendency for growth in the sector with no significant changes in the market share of facilities. Financially, the private airport groups earned high returns.
