The ANAC (National Civil Aviation Administration) has confirmed a historic milestone for Argentina’s skies, with record-breaking traffic recorded last month. Driven by a newly competitive “open skies” policy, the sector continues to show month-over-month growth.
-
The Numbers: A total of 4,636,151 passengers traveled across 35,956 flights, marking a 3% increase from the previous month.
-
Global Connectivity: International travel accounted for 1,655,745 of those passengers, reflecting a strong rebound in cross-border tourism and business.
-
Domestic Boom: Inland airports—those outside of Buenos Aires—led the expansion, showing the highest percentage of growth as regional connectivity improves.
-
A Record-Breaking Trend: This follows a record-setting February, with ANAC projecting that every subsequent month in 2026 could continue to set new benchmarks as the market becomes increasingly deregulated.
The Bottom Line: Deregulation and the “open skies” initiative are successfully decentralizing Argentine aviation, making air travel more accessible to the interior of the country than ever before.
