MEXICO CITY, Dec 9 (Reuters) - Mexican airport operator
Grupo Aeroportuario del Pacifico (GAP) expects passenger traffic
at its hubs to recover to pre-pandemic levels between 2023 and
2024, Chief Executive Officer Raul Revuelta said on Wednesday.
    GAP  GAPB.MX , one of Mexico's main airport groups, between
January and November registered 24.4 million travelers at the 14
hubs it operates in Mexico and Jamaica, barely half of the 48.7
million passengers it logged during all of last year.
    "We think we won't see the same number of passengers that we
had in 2019 until between 2023 and 2024," Revuelta told Reuters
in an interview.
    Like its peers, GAP's operations have been hammered by
lockdown measures to combat the spread of the virus that has
caused the death of more than 1.5 million people worldwide.
