The 2026 FIFA World Cup has boosted passenger traffic at Monterrey International Airport, operated by Grupo Aeroportuario del Centro Norte (OMA) , registering a 5.5% increase in passenger traffic from June 1 to 21, 2026, compared to the same period last year.

According to the concessionaire, 153,075 passengers from or destined for outside the country passed through that air terminal during that cycle .

“Monterrey Airport continues to play a key role in the region’s connectivity, facilitating the arrival of national and international visitors and contributing to the positioning of Nuevo León as a globally relevant destination, confirming the opportunity of the investment of more than eight billion pesos (mdp) that we continue to implement to expand, modernize and transform the Monterrey air terminal into the air hub of northern Mexico,” stated Ricardo Dueñas, CEO of OMA.

He recalled that during that period the game between Japan and Tunisia was held, where the airport served 59,898 international passengers, 12.9% higher than the same period of the previous year, growth driven by the arrival of visitors, fans, work teams, media and business travelers linked to the economic and tourist activity generated by this global event.

“The extensive network of international routes operating from Monterrey, along with the recent addition of new destinations and frequencies, has allowed us to efficiently meet the demand of travelers arriving in the city during this period of high activity,” Dueñas emphasized.

OMA estimated that with two more World Cup games to be played in the coming weeks, including South Africa vs. Korea on June 24 and the round of 32 match between the first place in Group F and the second place in Group C on June 29, the expectation is that the influx of international travelers will continue to grow .

Currently, the airport maintains operations to more than 66 destinations, 26 of which are international, and continues to implement an investment and modernization program in infrastructure, technology, and passenger experience to meet the sustained growth of air demand and strengthen its operational capacity for the coming years.

Similarly, income from non-aeronautical services, that is, businesses operated directly by the company, grew by 262.9 million pesos (mdp), a 28.3% increase compared to the same period in 2024, driven by the consolidation of the cargo and bonded warehouse business , which contributed 129.2 million pesos, representing an increase of 37.4 percent.
