Nine airports have reported a decline in international traffic since 1989. This is blamed on a number of factors including economic conditions, the disappearance of Mexicana Airlines, and the perception of violence in Mexico. Acapulco saw the sharpest decline, receiving 292,000 fewer passengers than it did in 2008, a decline of nearly 35 percent. International arrivals in Monterrey were down by 8.5 percent. Other airports reported a decline in international arrivals, but to a lesser percent.
