The Master Development Plan for Cancún Airport has accounted for these investments and includes these amounts in the investment commitments for the periods shown above.
The Master Development Plans were approved before the execution of the project denominated Riviera Maya Airport, which is included in the National Infrastructure Plan for 2007-2012. Therefore, the Ministry of Communications and Transportation did not account for any effects related to operations at the Riviera Maya Airport on projected passenger traffic levels for Cancún airport. The eventual construction, administration and operation of the Riviera Maya Airport, and the beginning of flight operations there, could affect traffic levels at Cancún airport. Accordingly, within three months as from the granting of a concession to operate the Riviera Maya Airport, the Ministry of Communications and Transportation has committed to modify the Master Development Plan in accordance with the new passenger traffic level projections, and to adjust the investment obligations and maximum tariffs that we are authorized to charge.

The concession agreements for each airport provide that such airport's maximum rates will be reduced annually to account for projected improvements in efficiency. For the five-year period ending December 31, 2013, the maximum rates applicable to ASUR's airports will be reduced by an annual efficiency factor of 0.70% in real terms.
The Company is currently evaluating the figures approved by the Ministry of Communications and Transportation.
