GUADALAJARA, Mexico, June 18, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Grupo Aeroportuario del Pacifico, S.A.B. de C.V. (NYSE: PAC; BMV: GAP) (“the Company” or “GAP”) announced that yesterday government officials from the State of Baja California entered the sterile area of the Tijuana International Airport. These individuals entered the premises in a violent manner that breached inspection and safety protocols.
In response to this violation, the Company had to activate all safety protocols, thus resulting in the temporary closure of all airport operations for approximately 25 minutes, to ensure that there was no risk to the operation. This is in accordance with Airport Laws and Regulations, The National Civil Aviation Security Program, as well as Annex 17 and Document 8973 of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).
