Headquartered in Guadalajara, Mexico, and founded in 1998, GAP trades on the Mexican Stock Exchange under ticker GAPB and on the New York Stock Exchange as PAC; it serves major urban centers, tourist destinations, and cross-border traffic, handling over 55 million passengers annually in Mexico and 7 million in Jamaica across its network. The company operates through segments including Guadalajara, Tijuana, Puerto Vallarta, Los Cabos, Montego Bay, and others, with subsidiaries providing technical assistance via Servicios a la Infraestructura Aeroportuaria del Pacífico S.A. de C.V., operational services through Corporativo de Servicios Aeroportuarios S.A. de C.V., and parking management. In late 2025, GAP advances its "GAP 2.0" strategic initiative through a proposed $2.2 billion business combination to internalize technical assistance services and fully acquire Cross Border Xpress (CBX), a key cross-border terminal boosting Tijuana traffic; it evaluates acquisitions like Motiva Airports and participates in the Turks and Caicos tender, while launching eight new international routes to Canada and a Los Cabos-Panama connection, alongside refinancing efforts including an $8.5 billion peso bond issuance and a $40 million USD credit extension to 2030.
