PR Newswire (US)
MEXICO CITY, May 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Grupo Aeroportuario
del Sureste, S.A.B. de C.V. (NYSE: ASR; BMV: ASUR) (ASUR), the
first privatized Mexican airport group and the operator of Cancun
International Airport and eight other airports in southeastern
Mexico, announced today that it has decided to promote the
construction of a convention and exhibition center and a light rail
system that would connect destinations in the Mayan Rivera to
Cancun Airport. ASUR has financed the preliminary feasibility
studies for both projects. On May 17, 2007, at the opening ceremony
of Terminal 3 at Cancun Airport, ASUR announced its intention to
promote these projects, because it believes they will contribute to
the economic development of the Cancun and Mayan Riviera region.
The company's intention is to hold a minority stake in these
projects and expects the majority of the necessary investment to be
undertaken by local investors. At the present time, these two
projects are at a very early stage and will require several steps
before they can be initiated, including authorizations or permits
from different authorities. About ASUR: Grupo Aeroportuario del
