a.

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus, known as COVID-19, was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China. In January 2020, COVID-19 spread to other countries, including the United States, and efforts to contain the spread of COVID-19 intensified. On March 11, 2020, the WHO declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic, which caused a gradual decline in international flights from Canada, the United States and Europe, a fact that was reflected in the significant drop in the flow of international passengers in Mexico and Jamaica.

 

The recent COVID-19 outbreak is significantly reducing the demand and availability of air travel worldwide, causing a slowdown in passenger air traffic due to fears of contagion, and therefore having a significant adverse effect on Company operations. Likewise, due to the pandemic, governments have taken preventive measures. For the operations of our airports in Mexico, the Government did not issue flight restrictions, however, in the second week of March the health emergency declared phase 1 of the pandemic and for the third week of April phase 3, which has caused the cancellation of a large volume of international flights, as well as a significant decrease in domestic flights. Regarding our operations in our airports in Jamaica, the Government suspended all incoming international flights for a period of 14 days, starting March 25, 2020, excluding transportation of cargo and merchandise, and only allowed the departure of commercial flights.

 

The Company, as a support measure in this pandemic, will offer discounts for some airport and commercial services. Likewise, some payment deferrals will be granted to our customer airlines to support their liquidity, so agreements have been reached so that they can continue with the operation, in 2020 they expect credit losses does not present an increase. As of the date of issuance of the consolidated financial statements. The Company cannot fully quantify the impact that the COVID-19 outbreak will have on global air travel and the extent to which it may affect the demand for air travel in the regions in which we operate.

 

Continuing travel restrictions or operational problems resulting from the rapid spread of COVID-19 could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations, so the Company will continue to inform interested third parties of future relevant updates to our business and operations, as well as on the measures that we would be required to adopt to preserve liquidity and business continuity.

 

As of December 31, 2019, the Company was in compliance with its financial covenants (Note 17.a) under the loan agreements with the financial institutions. Nonetheless, the anticipated adverse effects on the Company’s business and operating performance in 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, as discussed above, may result in the Company not meeting its financial covenants under the loan agreements in a future compliance date during 2020. In that case, the Company would negotiate a waiver for that breach. In the event of an absence of a waiver of compliance thereof, the Company has the resources to anticipate the payment of the loans.
