Its airports received approximately 18 million pasengers during 2021.

In 2009, OMA joined hotel operator NH Hoteles, to develop and operate, under a 20-year lease agreement, a five star, 287 room hotel and more than 5,000 square meters of commercial space inside Terminal 2 of Mexico City International Airport.

In 2015, OMA joined hotel operator Grupo Hotelero Santa Fe, to develop and operate a 134-room hotel and commercial areas in Terminal A and B at Monterrey International Airport.

OMA counts with more than 1,100 employees who are committed to providing aeronautical and commercial services of excellence and in compliance with international safety standards to our passengers and clients.

OMA was incorporated in 1998 by the Mexican government from airport assets owned and operated by the government.

In 2000, the government sold 15% of OMA to an investor group organized as a “strategic partner” to operate and manage the airports, in accordance with the Airports Law, OMA’s strategic partner is Servicios de Tecnologia Aeroportuaria, S.A. de C.V. (SETA).

On November 29, 2006, the government sold all its remaining shares through an Initial Public Offering on the Mexican Stock Exchange and NASDAQ Stock Market. OMA’s IPO took place at a price of US$ 18.00 per ADS and Ps. 24.85 per B share.

In 2009, OMA expanded its operations with the opening of NH Terminal 2 Hotel at Mexico City International Airport, the biggest airport in Mexico.

In 2015, OMA inaugurated its Industrial Park and opened its Hilton Garden Inn hotel at Monterrey International Airport.

OMA generates a mix of regulated (aeronautical) and non-regulated (non-aeronautical) revenues.

Aeronautical revenues include passenger charges, landing charges, aircraft parking charges, charges for the use of passenger walkways and charges for the provision of airport security services. Aeronautical revenues are subject to maximum-rate price regulation. Approximately 73% of total revenues were represented by aeronautical services.

Non-aeronautical revenues mainly derive from parking, leasing of space to restaurants, retailers and for advertising, among others. Since August 2009, along with NH Hoteles from Spain, a hotel at Terminal 2 of Mexico City Airport was inaugurated, with this alliance, OMA offers high quality hotel services to its passengers and users. Additionally, the Company operates Hotel Hilton Garden Inn at Monterrey International Airport and an industrial park.

Approximately 27% of our revenues were represented by non-aeronautical revenues, mainly from commercial revenues.

We have a balanced portfolio in terms of location and passenger type. According to statistics as of December 31, 2024:

• Of the Group’s total passengers, the Monterrey airport represents 51%; airports in regional cities 27%; airports in tourist destinations 12%; and airports in border cities 10%.
• 83% of our passengers are domestic, and the remainder are international.
• More than 20 airlines operate at our airports, including Mexican and international airlines.

Our main commitment is to seek growth and value generation for our shareholders.

Historically, air transportation in Mexico had been relatively expensive and mainly used by high social status people or business passengers. There was a change with the liberation of Mexican air transportation and with the entrance of low-cost carriers in 2005.

OMA looks forward to concreting the expected growth of the air industry through:

• Tightening the relationship with airlines in order to create new and profitable routes.
• Maintaining main routes active.
• Transforming Monterrey airport into a regional hub.
• Increasing passenger traffic in regional airports through low cost carriers and regional airlines.

We also expect to increase revenues through:

• The increase of non-aeronautical revenues with the expansion of commercial areas, parking, rent of advertising space and the growth of OMA Carga.
• Developing new alternatives for the generation of non-aeronautical revenues, maximizing the use of our assets, mainly land, as well as investing in opportunities where we count with expertise.

OMA Plaza is our retail concept. Our airports count with recognized restaurants, prestigious retail stores, banks and other commercial spaces that offer passengers a unique experience.

OMA Carga is our cargo logistic service. We offer logistic services and the handling of air and land cargo at warehouses located strategically at Monterrey, Chihuahua and Ciudad Juárez.

The Ministry of Infrastructure, Communications and Transportation (SICT) is the principal regulator of airport operations in Mexico.

OMA’s activities are mainly regulated by the Mexican Airport Law and its regulations, as well as the Mexican Securities Mexican Law, among other administrative laws.

As part of our concession titles, we must comply with rigorous safety and service standards.

Every fifteen years, OMA prepares a Master Development Program (MDP) for each of its airports, based on the expected traffic growth for the following 15 years and the necessary investments to comply with this growth. Every five years the Master Development Program is updated and resubmitted for approval.

Based on passenger projections, committed investments and other financial factors, the SICT establishes a maximum rate per workload unit (one terminal passenger or 100 kilograms of cargo) for every airport. The maximum rate is revised every five years, but every year, it is adjusted by an efficiency factor and the Mexican Producer Price Index. OMA establishes, with previous authorization from the SICT, the applicable rate for each regulated service. The sum of all regulated revenues per workload unit of each airport must not exceed the negotiated maximum tariff.

The current MDP covers the 2026–2030 period. During 2030, the SICT and OMA will negotiate the MDP and the Maximum Tariff for each of its airports for the 2031–2035 period.
