Year-over-year comparisons benefited from lower passenger traffic in July 2005, which was partly the result of the impact of Hurricane Emily. The Hurricane caused the closure of Cancun, Cozumel, and Merida airports on safety grounds, and resulted in the cancellation of a total of 184 inbound and outbound flights.

 

Passenger traffic continues to be adversely affected by the impact of Hurricane Wilma which hit the Yucatan Peninsula in October 2005.
