“We are the country that has grown the most in air capacity in all of Latin America,” declared the CEO of Aeropuertos Argentina

Daniel Ketchibachian, CEO of Aeropuertos Argentina, announced that Argentina is leading Latin America in air capacity growth during the Aviation and Tourism Summit.

During the closing session of the Aviation and Tourism Summit, Daniel Ketchibachian, the CEO of Aeropuertos Argentina, declared that Argentina has the highest growth in air capacity in Latin America. He noted that the year 2025 was historic, with a reported 12% increase in air traffic, reaching over 47 million passengers. This surge is attributed to a shift in travel habits, positioning air travel as a key mode for short trips.

Ketchibachian emphasized the importance of the aviation sector as a barometer of the macroeconomy, highlighting not only current successes but also ambitious future investment plans aimed at further enhancing air travel infrastructure. The discussions at the summit reflect broader trends in the travel industry, particularly as recovery efforts continue post-pandemic and patterns in consumer behavior evolve.

The statements made during the summit provide insights into the prospects for Argentina’s aviation sector, which plays a crucial role in regional connectivity and economic recovery. As airlines expand routes and capacities in response to increased demand, the sector is anticipated to make significant contributions to Argentina's overall economic growth.
