Speaker Change: I know it is early stages, but anything you can share as far as your MVP expectations.

Yen Speed: Yes, thanks for taking my question.

Speaker Change: So.

Speaker Change: Do you see room to ramp up Capex in Monterrey.

Speaker Change: On the traffic outlook, you just mentioned of mid single digits. I mean, we're seeing clearly a lot of capacity being deployed to our network.

Speaker Change: Just to get a sense of what kind of tariff increase we might see thank you.

Speaker Change: Hi, This is go forward regarding.

Speaker Change: Which makes me think that maybe that assumption might be slightly conservative but regardless.

Speaker Change: Your first question.

Speaker Change: For this year.

Speaker Change: In terms of AV and this might be a dumb question, but in terms of this being the year, where you negotiate your MVP.

Speaker Change: Seeing a recovery in domestic.

Speaker Change: Our capacity being deployed by by the main carriers in our network.

Speaker Change: Having very good traffic numbers I know its always goods, but in light of the negotiations you will be having.

Speaker Change: We have seen that increase the started since November of last year and has continued through January of this year.

Speaker Change: Does it.

Speaker Change: At any point might raise the bar too high or is it not even a concern.

Speaker Change: For full year, we are expecting around a mid single digit growth year over year and.

Speaker Change: And it doesn't really matter.

Speaker Change: Regarding the Monterrey network, we believe that there is plenty of opportunity to continue developing it we're just positioning is us.

Speaker Change: Yeah.

Speaker Change: Hi, Jan sorry, Carlos here.

Speaker Change: The traffic projection is based on a long term view a mid to long term view.

Speaker Change: Connecting hub.

Speaker Change: A lot of their routes.

Speaker Change: It's a bottom up analysis in which we're looking at many different things not only at the last.

Speaker Change: With regard to the listeners is opening remarks were opened in the second half of last year and they have still to mature so I believe that.

Speaker Change: The last data, we're looking at the demand in the future. We're looking at the aircraft out orders for.

Speaker Change: Going forward, we will continue to consolidate.

Speaker Change: Major conducting carving in northern Mexico.

Speaker Change: Airlines, we have independent in the.

Speaker Change: And rollout for regarding the MVP, we are still working on the Capex plan that we're going to put forward. What we can anticipate is that as we've mentioned before we're working on an optimized version of the Capex will elaborate Jane on our internal expertise vinci expertise as well.

Speaker Change: And traffic projections. The regulator has his own projections. So I don't think it puts it in that it's not necessarily bad is bad news because we're looking more of a mid to long term view of this traffic projections.

Speaker Change: Okay understood.

Speaker Change: And if I may just add one question on AWN I mean, congrats on the very impressive commercial revenues you had so.

Speaker Change: So that we can put a capex plan that we will not put unnecessary pressure on tariffs and we'll maximize the net present value of the company.

Speaker Change: Just trying to understand.

Speaker Change: Obviously simply due to the full year effect of the existing run rate you will see probably a benefit this year versus last year, but beyond that any additional upside we should be factoring in.

Yen Speece: Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of yen Speece with Morgan Stanley. Please proceed with your question.

Speaker Change:

I think for for the.

Yen Speece: Yes, thanks for taking my question.

Speaker Change: The following quarters, we should expect.

Yen Speece: So.

Yen Speece: On the traffic outlook, you just mentioned of mid single digits. I mean, we're seeing clearly a lot of capacity being deployed to your network.

Speaker Change: A similar amount in terms of a promotional.

Speaker Change: Commercial income per passenger.

Speaker Change: Around the 60 vessels Mark.

Yen Speece: Which makes me think that maybe that assumption might be slightly conservative but regardless.

Speaker Change: We would expect.

Speaker Change: A hygiene that number once the Monterrey areas are opened we.

Yen Speece: In terms of off and this might be a dumb question, but in terms of this being the year, where you negotiate your MVP.

Speaker Change: We expect that to occur in early 2026, 2012 ships will have a huge pick up because of these new lenses to be.

Yen Speece: Having very good traffic numbers I know its always good but in light of the negotiations you will be having.

Speaker Change: <unk>.

Speaker Change: Perfect.

Speaker Change: Any color on the magnitude of that step up and try to ethics.

Yen Speece: Does it at any point might raise the bar too high or is it not even though concerning.

Speaker Change: We are still quantifying it.

Yen Speece: And it doesn't really matter.

Speaker Change: We will have a more clearer towards middle of the year will be tendering those basis.

Yen Speece: Yeah.

Yen Speece: Hi, Jan sorry, Carlos here.

Yen Speece: And the traffic projection is based on a long term view a mid to long term view.

Speaker Change: So the tenders, we were occurring towards middle of this year.

Yen Speece: It's a bottom up analysis in which we're looking at many different things not only at the last.

Speaker Change: Fair enough all right. Thank you.

Speaker Change: Yeah.

Speaker Change: Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Jeremy.

Yen Speece: The last data, we're looking at the demand in the future. We're looking at the aircraft that orders for.

Speaker Change: With Jpmorgan. Please proceed with your question.

Jeremy: Hi, Carlos Ruefully Manuel and good morning. Thanks for taking my question first one is a follow up on the MTBE.

Yen Speece: Airlines, we have independent.

Yen Speece: Independent traffic projections, the regulator has its own projections, so I don't think inputs.

Speaker Change: Any views on timing for him to Ken Osman should we expect something by in November or December or maybe a little bit earlier.

Yen Speece: Not necessarily bad.

Bad news, because we're looking more of a mid to long term view of this traffic projections.

Speaker Change: Second point on the costs and margin front, I guess fruitful mentioned about the cost control during the quarter.

Yen Speece: Okay understood.

Speaker Change: And do you see any pressure going forward into 2025, and what kind of EBITDA margin can we expect going forward. Thank you.

Speaker Change: And if I may just add one question on AWN I mean, congrats on the very impressive commercial revenues you had so.

Yen Speece: Just trying to understand.

Speaker Change: Okay and in terms of.

Yen Speece: Obviously simply due to the like a full year effect of the existing run rate you will see probably a benefit this year versus last year, but beyond that any additional upside we should be factoring in.

Speaker Change: By year end in terms of the timing.

Speaker Change: We will be presenting officially the MVP plan and by the end of June.

Speaker Change: And we will take six months.

Yen Speece:

Speaker Change: Working with the Ministry and we are expecting this to go until until the last weeks of December.

Yen Speece: I think for for the.

Yen Speece: The following quarters, we should expect.

Speaker Change: That's our expectation.

Yen Speece: A similar amount in terms of.

Speaker Change: And.

Speaker Change: Regarding.

Yen Speece: Commercial income per passenger.

Speaker Change: Our cost side as well.

Yen Speece: Around the 60 vessels Mark.

Speaker Change: Mentioned in the.

Speaker Change: Coal, we had some extraordinary items, particularly the initial park.

Yen Speece: We would expect.

Yen Speece: A high can that number once the Monterrey areas are opened.

Speaker Change: But with respect to other cost of expenses for this year, we would expect inflationary based increases.

Yen Speece: We expect that to occur in early 2026, 2012 ships will have a huge pickup because you want them to be.

Speaker Change: Relative to last year.

Speaker Change: Yeah.

At a time.

Speaker Change: Okay. That's clear thanks, and just a follow up in terms of the margins fair to assume this mid seventies kind of level going forward, obviously without assuming any tariff increase post <unk>.

Yen Speece: Perfect.

Yen Speece: And any color on the magnitude of that step up and try to fix.

Yen Speece: We're still.

Yen Speece: Quantifying it.

Speaker Change: Yeah, that's fair to assume human.

Yen Speece: We will have a more clearer towards middle of the year will be tendering those spaces.

Speaker Change: Perfect. Thank you.

Yen Speece: So the tenders, we were acutely and got towards middle of this year.

Speaker Change: Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of.

Fernando Recchia: Fernando Recchia with BTG Pactual. Please proceed with your question.

Yen Speece: Fair enough all right. Thank you.

Speaker Change: Sure.

Yen Speece: Yeah.

Speaker Change: Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Jeremy.

Carlo: Hey, Carlo from Manuel Thank you for taking my question to you here from our side as well.

Jeremy Mendes: Mendes with Jpmorgan. Please proceed with your question.

Carlo: A quick follow up on the traffic if you could break down the mid single digit that theyre expecting for 2025 between domestic and international.

Jeremy Mendes: Hi, Carlos roofing Manuel and good morning, Thanks for taking my questions first one is a follow up on the MTBE.

Jeremy Mendes: Any views on timing for him to Ken Osman should we expect something by in November or December or maybe a little bit earlier and second point on the costs and margin front I guess real formation about the cost control during the quarter.

Carlo: Lukin since November international has been surprising so I just wanted to understand Hollywood King funding.

Carlo: Makes for an easier.

Carlo: And second I just want.

Jeremy Mendes: And do you see any pressure going forward into 2025, and what kind of EBITDA margin can we expect going forward. Thank you.

Thank you yeah. If there is any of the regarding that.

Transfer R&D Monterrey airport from military to commercial activity.

Jeremy Mendes: Okay and in terms of the high yield and in terms of the timing.

Carlo: And if so do you expect to incorporate any impact of this in trigger MTP negotiation.

Jeremy Mendes: We will be presenting at <unk>.

Jeremy Mendes: Actually the MVP plan and by the end of June.

Carlo: Okay.

Speaker Change: So I'll answer the second part.

Jeremy Mendes: And we will take six months working.

Speaker Change: So the military airport, there's no official project.

Jeremy Mendes: Working with the Ministry and we are expecting this to go until until the last weeks of December.

Speaker Change: There is actually not no budget currently allocated to that project. So I think the the probability of having a competing air for next door. It's it's.

Jeremy Mendes: That's our expectation.

Jeremy Mendes: And.

Jeremy Mendes: Regarding.

Jeremy Mendes: Our cost side as well.

Speaker Change: <unk> and its lower than than it has been in the past.

Jeremy Mendes: Mentioned in the.

Jeremy Mendes: Coal, we had some extraordinary items, particularly the initial park.

Speaker Change: And regarding the 25.

Speaker Change: Outlook.

Jeremy Mendes: But with respect to other cost of expenses for this year, we would expect inflationary based increases.

Speaker Change: It's still.

Speaker Change: Although clear what the mix is going to be we depend a lot on how the additional seat capacity that.

Jeremy Mendes: Relative to last year.

Jeremy Mendes: Yeah.

Speaker Change: Both of Eva.

Jeremy Mendes: Okay. That's clear thanks, and just a follow up in terms of the margin. It's fair to assume this mid seventies kind of level going forward, obviously without assuming any tariff increase post MTBE.

Speaker Change: It will be.

Speaker Change: Deploying.

Speaker Change: For example in the case of.

Speaker Change: Confirm drugs that we expect to over the next few months, we have 20, new routes already confirmed.

Gilman: Yeah, that's fair to assume Gilman.

Speaker Change: Nine of them are domestic on 11.

Jeremy Mendes: Perfect. Thank you.

Speaker Change: Roes are international so I think that we'll still see a little bit more dynamism.

Jeremy Mendes: Thank you. Our next question comes from the line.

Fernando Recchia: Fernando Recchia with BTG Pactual. Please proceed with your.

Speaker Change: From the international side, but we'll see a recovery on the domestic front as converged to politically this year.

Jeremy Mendes: Sure.

Speaker Change: Hey, Carlo.

Speaker Change: Thank you for taking my question to you here from our side as well.

Speaker Change: Okay. Thank you.

Speaker Change: Just a follow up on traffic.

Speaker Change: Could break down the mid single digit that you are expecting for 2025 between domestic and international Lukin. Since November International has been surprising so I just wanted to understand holiday <unk>.

Speaker Change: Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Pavel.

Speaker Change: With that.

Speaker Change: Please proceed with your question.

Speaker Change: Hi, good morning, anecdotal for congrats on the results.

Speaker Change: It makes for an easier.

Speaker Change: I was wondering if you can provide more color on noninterest expense line and we saw a huge increase in the quarter.

Speaker Change: And second just Monday two years, if there is any of the research.

Speaker Change: Apparently there was like this issue with the interest rate on the maintenance provision.

Speaker Change: Grasp R&D Monterrey airport from military to commercial activity.

Speaker Change: If we can talk about.

Speaker Change: Further this effect and if we should expect something more going forward.

Speaker Change: And if so do you expect to incorporate any impact of this in trigger MTP and negotiation.

Speaker Change: Yes.

Speaker Change: <unk>.

Speaker Change: We have as you know major maintenance provision released which is a long term.

Speaker Change: Okay.

Speaker Change: So I'll answer the second part.

Speaker Change: So the military airport, there's no official project.

Speaker Change: Forecast of the REIT basement.

Speaker Change: Primarily related payments are worse repayment obligations through.

Speaker Change: There is actually not no budget currently allocated to that project. So I think the the probability of having a competing airport next door.

Speaker Change: The life of the concession.

Speaker Change: And it's quite sensitive to interest rates variations. So so yes, we adjust it downward sewer.

Speaker Change: Very low and its lower than than it has been in the past.

Speaker Change: Interest rates that we used to value the provision that contain noncash effect during the quarter.

Speaker Change: And regarding the 25.

Speaker Change: Our outlook.

Speaker Change: It's still.

Speaker Change: Sure.

Speaker Change: Oh clear what the mix is going to be we depend a lot on how the additional seat capacity that.

Speaker Change: We will.

Speaker Change: They are still subject to those variations.

Speaker Change: <unk>.

Speaker Change: Or.

Speaker Change: Now in the report we're now splitting up the breakdown of the interest expense. So so you can see what the impact of that is in isolation.

Speaker Change: Both of you.

Speaker Change: We'll be.

Speaker Change: Deploying.

Speaker Change: For example in the case of.

Speaker Change: Confirmed routes that we expect to over the next few months, we have 20, new routes already confirmed.

Speaker Change: I'll just highlight.

Speaker Change: Highlights at the end of it it's a noncash variation.

Speaker Change: Nine of them are domestic on 11.

Speaker Change: Perfect that was very clear.

Speaker Change: Roes are international so I think that we'll still see a little bit more dynamism.

Speaker Change: Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Pablo <unk> with Barclays. Please proceed with your question.

Speaker Change: From the international side, but we'll see a recovery on the domestic front as converged to politically this year.

Speaker Change: Although your line is live.

Speaker Change: Okay. Thank you.

Speaker Change: Hi.

Speaker Change: Thanks for taking my question, we got about you mentioned at the beginning of the call Q&A session that you are expecting for the MLP to be very.

Speaker Change: Thank you. Our next question comes from the line.

Speaker Change: Hello.

Speaker Change: Please proceed with your question.

Speaker Change: Hi, good morning, anecdotal for congrats on the results and I was wondering if you can provide more color on the interest expense line and we saw a huge increase in the quarter.

Speaker Change: Our capex up came up.

Speaker Change: Can you please share to to what extent was the conversation with the government starts that variable moves or down or to what extent. This is based on years of course technical considerations, but also a little bit on the negotiation. Thank you.

Speaker Change: Apparently there was like this issue with an interest rate on maintenance provision, but I don't know if we can talk a little bit further.

Speaker Change: And if we should expect something more going forward.

Pablo: Hi, Pablo Thank you. Thank you for your question.

Speaker Change: Yes.

Speaker Change: <unk>.

Pablo: The Capex plan that you put forward is based purely on technical this session, we're going to sit down with the government, we're going to look at the traffic projections that we both have our.

We have as you know major maintenance provision release, which is a long term.

Speaker Change: The forecast of the replacements.

As it relates to payments worse repayment obligations.

Pablo: Our third party projections also have.

Speaker Change: The life of the concession.

Pablo: To look at the needs of the different stakeholders in the airport and we're all got where we're going to come up with a with a technical Capex plan that is that one we're putting forward.

Speaker Change: And it's quite sensible to interest rates variations. So so yes, we adjusted downward sewer.

Speaker Change: Interest rates that we used to value the provision.

Pablo: You already know in anticipation the needs we are constantly in conversation with the regulator and the tariffs will be a result of that technical analysis in our Capex plan.

Speaker Change: The noncash effect during the quarter.

Speaker Change: We will.

Speaker Change: On the is still subject to those variations.

Pablo: Alright, thank you.

Speaker Change: Or or down.

Pablo: Thank you.

Speaker Change: The reports, we're now splitting up the breakdown of the interest expense. So you can see what the impact of that is in isolation.

Speaker Change: Our next question comes from the line of Andrew <unk>.

Speaker Change: With UBS. Please proceed with your question.

Speaker Change: Okay.

Speaker Change: I'll just highlight.

Speaker Change: Hi, Good morning, and thank you for taking my question I just have a follow up here on traffic.

Highlights at the end is it's a noncash.

Speaker Change: <unk>.

Speaker Change: <unk>.

Speaker Change: Well and MRO in the international side.

Speaker Change: Perfect that was very clear.

Speaker Change: This can be explained by airline flying rockhopper capacity in doing international high in this moment of my restriction.

Speaker Change: Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Pablo months away with Barclays. Please proceed with your question.

Speaker Change: But I went in to catch for more like how do you see this going forward, but he said this is indeed.

Speaker Change: Although your line is live.

Speaker Change: Hi.

Speaker Change: Opportunistic opportunity to Ah trial, Okay capacity, there or do you see.

Speaker Change: Thanks for taking my question, we got about you mentioned at the beginning of the call Q&A session that you are expecting for the MLP to be very.

Speaker Change: Some improvement in demand drivers that can make this.

Speaker Change: Sustainable process and more relative to be added in the upcoming years. Thank you.

Speaker Change: Capex, so pretty modest.

Speaker Change: Can you please share to us to what extent was that conversation with the government starts that variable moves up or down or to what extent. This is based on years of course technical considerations, but also a little bit on.

Speaker Change: Okay.

Speaker Change: Can you repeat your question please.

Speaker Change: We lost you there.

Joe: I am sorry, Joe there's about.

Speaker Change: On the negotiation thank you.

Speaker Change: International traffic.

Pablo: Hi, Pablo Thank you. Thank you for your question.

Speaker Change: How do you see capacity allocation on the international Roe.

Speaker Change: The Capex plan that you put forward is based purely on technical this session, we're going to sit down with the government, we're going to look at the traffic projections that we both have.

Speaker Change: You are seeing.

Speaker Change: <unk> this is a more opportunistic.

Speaker Change: <unk> moved from the Airlines Amit capacity restrictions are sustained.

Speaker Change: Sustainable.

Speaker Change: Third party projections also have we're going to look at the needs of the different stakeholders in the airport and we're all we're going to come up with a with a technical Capex plan that is the one we're putting forward we already know in anticipation of the needs. We are constantly in conversation with the regulator and the tariffs will be our.

<unk> driven movement. Thank you.

Speaker Change: Right.

Speaker Change: Yes. Thank you.

Speaker Change: So what we have seen in <unk>.

Speaker Change: 2020 for Us is.

Speaker Change: Steve.

Speaker Change: Interest from domestic carriers to towards international routes.

Speaker Change: Result of that technical analysis in our Capex plan.

Speaker Change: We attributed that tool to the recovery of category, one or if you can remember a mess.

Speaker Change: Alright, thank you.

Speaker Change: Mexican carriers were not allowed during.

Speaker Change: Thank you.

Speaker Change: That period to open new routes or services to the to the U S.

Speaker Change: Our next question comes from the line of Andrew.

Speaker Change: That was lifted towards the end of 2023. So during 2020 for most of the new capacity that airlines, we're able to deploy it was focused on the on the international markets.

Speaker Change: With UBS. Please proceed with your question.

Andrew: Hi, Good morning, and thank you for taking my question.

Speaker Change: Follow up here on traffic.

Andrew: We are seeing wealth and.

Speaker Change: We believe that the network are primarily out of Monterrey to the U S.

Speaker Change: Tomorrow in Dayton.

Speaker Change: Cash outside.

Speaker Change: Destinations will continue tool to be strengthened.

Speaker Change: Maybe it can be explained by airline capacity.

Speaker Change: Capacity in doing international high in this moment of more restriction.

Speaker Change: Around 88% of our international traffic comes from the U S. Social we still believe that most of the international rose will be generated in and out of the U S to our airports.

Speaker Change: Well, then to catch up or more like how do you see this going forward, but he said this is indeed.

Speaker Change: Our first mistake opportunity too shallow K capacity, there or do you see.

Speaker Change: The.

Speaker Change: I think that that will continue to be a trend in the next.

Speaker Change: A few quarters.

Speaker Change: Yes.

Speaker Change: Some improvement in demand drivers that can make this.

Speaker Change: Thank you very much.

Speaker Change: Sustainable process and more relative to be added and that's coming.

Speaker Change: Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Edson with Gilead with Macquarie. Please proceed with your question.

Speaker Change: Thank you.

Okay.

Speaker Change: Can you repeat your question please.

Speaker Change: And then your line is live.

Speaker Change: We lost you have it.

Speaker Change: Oh, yes, sorry, Joe just about.

Speaker Change: International traffic.

Speaker Change: I'm sorry variance in some technical difficulty. Our next question comes from the line of Federico Gallazzi with TRT. Please proceed with your question.

Speaker Change: How does he did capacity allocation on the international Roe.

You are saying.

Speaker Change: <unk> this is more opportunistic.

Speaker Change: <unk> moved from the airlines, Amit capacity restrictions or sustaining.

Federico Gallazzi: Hi, John Thank you.

Federico Gallazzi: My question's on Congress protocol.

Speaker Change: Sustainable.

Speaker Change: <unk> driven movement. Thank you.

Federico Gallazzi: One important thing getting bad.

Speaker Change: Right.

Federico Gallazzi: And the profit guidance.

Speaker Change: Yes. Thank you.

Speaker Change: So what we have seen in 2024.

Federico Gallazzi: DCF, which is the last three months in Montgomery tapping lower months.

Federico Gallazzi: When you mentioned mid single Nishu.

Speaker Change: <unk>.

Speaker Change: Steve.

Speaker Change: Interest from domestic carriers to towards international routes.

Federico Gallazzi: What do I think important Mumbai and the second one on consumables, but rates.

Federico Gallazzi: And you mentioned punching bag.

Speaker Change: We attributed that tool to the recovery of <unk> 41, or if you can remember Mitch.

Speaker Change: In the lesser convention, we are talking about.

Federico Gallazzi: We'll be the Spansion with banking function in Mumbai, if you can do.

Speaker Change: Mexican carriers were not allowed during.

Speaker Change: That period to open new routes or services to the U S.

Speaker Change: Perfect. Thank you.

Speaker Change: That was lifted towards the end of 2023. So during 2020 for most of the new capacity that airlines, we're able to deploy it was focused on the on the international markets.

Speaker Change: Hi, vertical so so in terms of traffic guidance.

Speaker Change: Yes, yes, multi res we will continue to be the.

Speaker Change: The driver of our growth.

Speaker Change: We believe that the network primarily out of Monterrey to the U S.

Speaker Change: We do expect some some airports tool to recover as domestic capacity those back on line towards the second half of the year, but.

Nations will continue tool to be.

Speaker Change: <unk>.

Speaker Change: Around 88% of our international traffic comes from the U S.

Speaker Change: In the in the foreseeable future Monterrey will be driving our results.

Speaker Change: We still believe that most of the international rose will be generated in and out of the U S.

Speaker Change: Also worth noting that our traffic projection already incorporate some some volatility that we're seeing in the macro environment. So we're being a bit cautious.

Speaker Change: Through our airports.

Speaker Change: I think that that will continue to be a trend in the next few quarters.

Speaker Change: Yes.

Speaker Change: About that.

Speaker Change: Thank you very much.

Speaker Change: As well.

Speaker Change: Regarding the expansion in in Monterrey.

Speaker Change: Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Edson with Western Mckenna. Please proceed with your question.

Speaker Change: Increased at least a couple of million the yearly capacity of the airports.

Speaker Change: And be able to sustain what we expect in the next couple of years.

Federico Gallazzi: Hi, John Thank you for taking my questions on contract protocol.

Speaker Change: And the conventional capacity is slight positive to that.

Speaker Change: One important thing getting bad.

Thank you.

Federico Gallazzi: And the profit guidance.

Speaker Change: One to finish at least.

Federico Gallazzi: For this year you can see the last few months in a very public warmer months.

Speaker Change: Besides.

Speaker Change: Yes.

Speaker Change: These areas are all.

Federico Gallazzi: When you mentioned mid single issue.

Speaker Change: Oh sites with us social yes, they will be accompanied by a development of a passenger concentration area.

Federico Gallazzi: What do I think in Portland.

Federico Gallazzi: And the second one.

Federico Gallazzi: As you move east.

Federico Gallazzi: And you mentioned something that.

Federico Gallazzi: In Galactic <unk> Youre talking about.

Speaker Change: We would.

Speaker Change: We expect most of the passengers to flow through the <unk>.

Federico Gallazzi: We'll be the Spansion was facing function in one part of if you can give me more.

Speaker Change: The driver of our growth.

Alan Macias: Hi, Good morning, and thank you for the call just a follow up question on the adjusted EBITA margin for next year I guess, if we assume that traffic is going to grow this year.

Speaker Change: We do expect some some airports to recover as domestic capacity those back on line towards the second half of the year.

Speaker Change: But.

Speaker Change: Is it a fair assumption to assume a margin expansion. Thank you.

Speaker Change: In the foreseeable future luxury will be driving.

Speaker Change: Our results.

Speaker Change: Also worth noting that our traffic projections already incorporate some some volatility that we're seeing in the macro environment.

Speaker Change: For next year Youre talking about 2025 for 2026.

Speaker Change: 25.

Speaker Change: Okay.

Speaker Change: We're being a bit cautious about that.

I have one question related to the 200 million short term loan.

Speaker Change: And be able to sustain what we expect in the next couple of years.

Edson Murguia: My question is.

Edson Murguia: What is your strategy with the liquid loan NIM.

Speaker Change: And the conventional capacity is slight positive feedback.

Edson Murguia: I mean, excuse me 25, and we'll be completing the prepaid 112.

Speaker Change: Thank you.

Speaker Change: When we finish at least two points.

Edson Murguia: And in pesos.

Speaker Change: Ed.

Speaker Change: Oh, yes.

Edson Murguia: So what.

Edson Murguia: What would be the strategy I know you mentioned that.

Speaker Change: These areas are all.

Edson Murguia: With that line.

Speaker Change: Oh sites with us so yes, they will be accompanied by a development of a passenger concentration area.

Edson Murguia: Yeah.

Edson Murguia: Over the strategy behind it.

Edson Murguia: It.

Speaker Change: We would.

Edson Murguia: Could you move closer to the microphone to or Youre seeing some noise in the background we're enabled.

Speaker Change: Expect most of the passengers to flow through the.

Edson Murguia: Unable to hear you.
