Asur Reports Minimal Impact from Hurricane Ivan

Mexico City, September 14, 2004, Grupo Aeroportuario del Sureste, S.A. de C.V. (NYSE: ASR; BMV: ASUR) (ASUR) today announced that its Cancun and Cozumel airports were temporarily closed as a safety precaution in anticipation of Hurricane Ivan. Both aiports have since resumed normal operation.

Cancun airport closed at 3:30 pm local time on Monday, September 13, re-opened at 22:00 pm on the same day, and has been fully operational since. ASUR estimates that approximately 80 flights were either cancelled or rescheduled as a result of the hurricane. However, half of these flights were cancelled or rescheduled due to precautionary decisions made by the airlines themselves and were not due to the temporary closure of the airport. The adverse weather conditions resulting from the hurricane have caused very minor damages to the airport.

Cozumel Airport closed at 7:45 pm local time on Sunday, September 12, until 8:00 am today. ASUR estimates that approximately 9 flights were cancelled, but normal operations have since resumed. No recorded damage nor passenger injuries resulted from the hurricane due to the measures taken by ASUR.
