ASUR ANNOUNCES THE OPENING OF JOSE CUERVO TEQUILERIA RESTAURANT AND AWARDS
CONCESSIONS TO OPERATE A GAS STATION AND A CONVENIENCE STORE AT THE CANCUN
INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
Mexico City, September 25, 2003.- Grupo Aeroportuario del Sureste, S.A. de C.V.
(NYSE: ASR; BMV: ASUR) (ASUR) the first privatized Mexican airport management
group, and operator of the Cancun airport and eight others in the southeast of
Mexico, today announced it has awarded the concession to operate a gas station
and convenience store, as well as announces the opening of the Jose Cuervo
Tequileria restaurant, both at Cancun airport.
The Jose Cuervo Tequileria restaurant is located in the international gate of
the satellite building at the International Airport of Cancun. The restaurant is
operated by Controladora Mera, S.A. of C.V., one of the food and beverages
concessionaires of the Cancun, Merida and Cozumel airports.
Commenting on the opening of the restaurant, Kjeld Binger, Chairman and Interim
CEO of ASUR, said: "This addition to the airport should make the overall
experience of passengers traveling though our airports more comfortable and
enjoyable. It also has the potential to become a valuable, quality service to
the community of Cancun in general."
ASUR awarded the 20-year gas station and convenience store concession to
operate in the International Airport of Cancun to Mexico-based PERC Group.
"The proposal put forth by PERC Group contains all ecological, security and
service requirements that we were looking for in the bidding process; these are
the type of quality services that we believe our clients at the International
Airport of Cancun deserve and require," he concluded.
The operator of the gas station was selected after a public bidding process, in
which 13 operators, with domestic and regional experience, were invited to
participate. The bids were evaluated using a model originally developed by
Copenhagen Airports. The outcome was based solely on the merits of the offer,
and the Company believes it has established a new standard in the airport
industry for transparency and professionalism in the selection of a winning
proposal.
Commenting on the selection process, Manuel Gutierrez Sola, Chief Commercial
Director of ASUR, said "Our evaluation and selection was done in a transparent
and well balanced way, and we are very happy to see that several interesting
proposals were put forward for consideration. The process was designed to
select the most qualified offer and the concession was awarded to the operator
which we felt was ready to create a synergistic partnership with our company.
