Mexico City, April 12, 2004, Grupo Aeroportuario del Sureste, S.A. de C.V. (NYSE: ASR; BMV: ASUR) (ASUR) announced that today it has received a communication from “ITA” (ASUR’S strategic partner) notifying the Company of the transfer of Vinci, S.A.‘s (Vinci) 24.5% ownership stake in ASUR’s strategic partner, Inversiones y Tecnicas Aeroportuarias, S.A. de C.V. (ITA) to Mr. Fernando Chico Pardo.

ITA became ASUR’s strategic partner when it acquired 15% of ASUR’s capital in 1998 as part of the privatization of the airport system in Mexico.

As a result of this transaction, ITA’s stockholders currently are Copenhagen Airports A/S (25.5%), Nacional Financiera, S.N.C. (25.5%), Ferrovial Aeropuertos, S.A. (24.5%) and Mr. Fernando Chico Pardo (24.5%).

The new stockholder in ITA, Mr. Fernando Chico Pardo, founder and President of PROMECAP, S.C., is a Mexican investor who serves as a board member of the United Nations Pension Fund, The Quantum Group of Funds, Grupo Posadas de Mexico, Grupo Financiero Inbursa and Grupo Carso, among others.

According to the original agreements signed by ASUR and the Mexican Federal Government, the transfer of Vinci’s shares in ITA to Mr. Fernando Chico Pardo does not require the approval of ASUR’s stockholders, since Vinci is not a key partner in ITA (as defined in such agreements).
