GRUPO AEROPORTUARIO DEL PACIFICO REPORTS

PASSENGER TRAFFIC INCREASE OF 10.9% FOR THE MONTH OF FEBRUARY

Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico, March 7, 2017 - Grupo Aeroportuario del Pacifico, S.A.B. de C.V., (NYSE: PAC; BMV: GAP) (“the Company” or “GAP”) announced preliminary terminal passenger traffic figures for the month of February 2017, compared to traffic figures for February 2016.

During February 2017, total terminal passengers increased 10.9% in the Company’s 13 airports, compared to the same period of the previous year. Domestic passenger traffic increased by 14.9%, while international passenger traffic increased by 6.3%. It is important to highlight that February 2017 figures are not exactly comparable to February 2016 figures, nor are the accumulated traffic figures for 2017 versus 2016 exactly comparable. This is because 2016 was a leap year and therefore included an extra day of operations.
