Dear Mr. Shenk:
In response to additional comments from the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Staff”) received on April 15, 2010 to the annual report on Form 20-F filed on June 29, 2009 (the “20-F”) by Pacific Airport Group (Grupo Aeroportuario del Pacífico, S.A.B. de C.V. or “GAP”) and to GAP’s responses dated February 26, 2010 and March 25, 2010, attached please find the detail requested by the Staff regarding credit lines among our subsidiaries.
In addition, we confirm that we treat our intercompany lines of credit in the same manner as financings from unrelated third parties, except for our elimination of these transactions in consolidation. Furthermore, these lines of credit are periodically evaluated and audited for transfer pricing purposes.
We are providing this information in order to assist the Staff with its review of our disclosure filings, however, we would like to request that this level of information not be required in future filings.
If you have any questions or require any additional information with respect to the above, please do not hesitate to contact our U.S. counsel Jorge Juantorena at Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton LLP at (212) 225-2758.
