Objective:

In this paper, we examine the causal relationship between economic growth and air passenger transport in México in the period of 2003-2017.

Methodology:

We applied a cointegration analysis using Pedroni and Johansen test and vector error, correction models as well as causality Granger test.

Result:

Suggests that a higher volume of traffic influences the direction of causality. We discuss the policy implications.

Limitations:

The main limitation is that this analysis contains just two variables.

Conclusions:

exist a long run unidirectional Granger causality, which runs from air passenger to economic growth.
