GRUPO AEROPORTUARIO DEL PACIFICO

REPORTS PASSENGER TRAFFIC INCREASE OF 13.5%

FOR APRIL 2006



Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico, May 9, 2006 - Grupo Aeroportuario del Pacífico, S.A. de C.V. (NYSE:PAC; BMV:GAP) (the Company or GAP) today announced terminal passenger traffic figures for the month of April 2006.



During the month of April 2006, terminal passenger traffic increased 13.5% compared to April 2005, mainly driven by international terminal passenger traffic, which grew 22.2%, and a 7.6% increase in domestic terminal passenger traffic.



Two main factors are reflected in April 2006 traffic results:



| |  | The corresponding Easter period, which took place in April during 2006, but in March during 2005.
| | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | The effects of the suspended Aerocalifornia operations, which took place on April 2, 2006.
| | - | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



When comparing April 2006 with April 2005, domestic terminal passenger traffic rose by 70.2 thousand passengers --- increasing by 93.5 thousand passengers in the Guadalajara, Tijuana, Puerto Vallarta, Los Cabos, Aguascalientes and Manzanillo airports and decreasing by 23.4 thousand passengers in the Hermosillo, Bajio, Morelia, Mexicali, La Paz and Los Mochis airports. The main contributors of this increase were: the Guadalajara airport with an increase of 26.8 thousand passengers, Tijuana airport with an increase of 25.5 thousand passengers, Los Cabos airport with an increase of 21.3 thousand passengers and Puerto Vallarta airport with an increase of 15.8 thousand passengers (for a total 89,389 additional domestic terminal passengers among the four airports), representing increases of 9.4%, 9.6%, 82.1% and 39.7%, respectively, when comparing the April 2006 and April 2005 figures. During the
first quarter of 2006 versus the same quarter of 2005, passenger traffic at these airports grew 7.9%, 1.9%, 52.7% and 18.0%, respectively, and in the case of Guadalajara and Tijuana the growth was driven

by low cost carriers (Interjet, Volaris and Click in Guadalajara and Volaris and A Volar in Tijuana).



The traffic at the Los Cabos and Puerto Vallarta airports reflects the rising popularity of our tourist destinations, as well as the effects of the Easter Holiday vacation period, which in 2006 took place in April.



The decrease of 23.4 thousand passengers was due to declines of 6.6 thousand passengers in La Paz airport, 6.2 thousand passengers in Mexicali, 5.3 thousand passengers in Los Mochis and 3 thousand passengers in Hermosillo, which caused the total reduction of 21.3 thousand domestic terminal passengers among these four airports.  In the case of La Paz, Los Mochis and Hermosillo, the effect was a result of the suspension of certain routes that were either exclusive or routes dominated by Aerocalifornia Airlines, such as:



|Exclusive Routes         |                                  | Routes Dominated  |                                 
|------------------------ | -------------------------------- | ----------------- | --------------------------------
|Route                    | Number of passengers during 2005 | Route             | Number of passengers during 2005
|Guadalajara - La Paz     | 45,150                           | La Paz-Culiacan   | 44,718                          
|La Paz - Los Mochis      | 25,132                           | Hermosillo-La Paz | 32,643                          
|Tijuana - Los Mochis     | 36,424                           |                   |                                 
|Guadalajara  Los Mochis | 52,275                           |                   |                                 
|Los Mochis  Cd. Obregón | 11,081                           |                   |                                 
|Los Mochis  Culiacan    | 10,477                           |                   |                                 



It is important to mention that, among others, the Guadalajara-La Paz, Tijuana-Los Mochis and Guadalajara-Los Mochis routes, which represent 45.2, 36.4 and 52.3 thousand passengers, respectively (for a total of 133.8 thousand passengers), are expected to reinitiate operations in the near future.



In terms of international traffic, the highest increase compared to April 2005 took place in Guadalajara with a rise of 58.9 thousand passengers, representing a 39.9% increase, Los Cabos with 39.8 thousand additional passengers, representing an increase of 21.3% and Puerto Vallarta with 24.7 thousand additional passengers, representing an increase of 12.1%.  The increase in Guadalajara was a result of the Easter holiday, which took place during April in 2006 versus in March during 2005.  In Puerto Vallarta and Los Cabos, the growth trend observed during the first quarter of 2006 continues, mainly driven by U.S. and Canadian tourists.



The decrease in the number of international terminal passengers in the La Paz and Hermosillo airports was due to the suspension of the La Paz-Los Angeles and Hermosillo-Los Angeles routes, the first route being an exclusive Aerocalifornia route and the second, a main route of Aerocalifornia.
