In your publication The Airline Industry Guide 2004/5 there is an omission regarding airports and their size. The Top 10 airports 2003 passenger ranking for Latin America does not show Cancun International airport. Last year Cancun reported to ACI a total of 9,150,000 passengers, making it the second largest airport in Mexico. Salvador Suarez, strategic planning manager ASUR, Mexico
EDITOR'SNOTE: In fact both Cancun and Guadalajara were omitted due to an apparent error in the regional coding. The table below shows how the ranking should have looked.
