Note that preliminary passenger traffic
figures for 2019, as well as January 2020 for Ezeiza Airport, in
Argentina, were adjusted to include additional inbound passengers
not accounted for in the initial count, for an average of
approximately 5% of total passenger traffic at Ezeiza Airport and
1% of total traffic at CAAP, during that period. Importantly,
inbound traffic does not affect revenues, as tariffs are applicable
on departure passengers.

Cargo volumes in Uruguay were rectified
from January 2019 to June 2020, to reflect all cargo passing
through the cargo terminal, instead of air cargo only.
Passenger Traffic
Overview
Total passenger traffic grew 22.1% compared to the same
month of 2022, supported by the ongoing recovery in travel demand
after the Covid-19 pandemic and the gradual resumption of routes
and frequencies across all countries of operations. Overall
passenger traffic reached 96.3% of July 2019 levels, down from
102.6% posted in June, with international passenger traffic
surpassing pre-pandemic levels of July 2019 by 5.2%. Domestic
traffic stood at 93.6% of July 2019.
In Argentina, total passenger traffic continued to
recover in July, increasing 29.4% YoY and reaching 98.1% of
pre-pandemic volumes, down from 105.9% in June. The sequential drop
in the comparison against the same month of 2019 is explained by a
deceleration in Domestic passenger traffic growth, which in
previous months benefited from a government program aimed at
boosting domestic tourism. However, Domestic traffic increased
month-over-month on an absolute basis and was 2.4% higher than July
2019 levels. International passenger traffic continued to recover
and reached 88.3% of pre-pandemic levels, up from the 83.1%
recorded in June.
In Italy, passenger traffic grew by 16.4% compared to the
same month in 2022 and surpassed pre-pandemic levels for the first
time, increasing by 6.2% against July 2019. International passenger
traffic, which accounted for 80% of the total traffic, exceeded
July 2019 levels by 4.9%, while domestic passenger traffic
surpassed pre-pandemic levels by 12.8%. Both Pisa and Florence
airports either met or exceeded pre-pandemic traffic volumes in
July.
In Brazil, total passenger traffic increased by 3.9% YoY
and reached 87.9% of July 2019 pre-pandemic volumes. Domestic
traffic, which accounted for nearly two thirds of total traffic,
improved month-over-month on an absolute basis, reaching 92.0% of
pre-pandemic levels, while transit passengers reached 77.6% of July
2019 levels, down from 95.1% in June. Traffic was affected by
financial and aircraft constraints within some of the local
airlines.
In Uruguay, total passenger traffic, which is largely
international, continued to recover and increased 44.1% YoY,
reaching 94.6% of July 2019 levels, up from 85.1% in June.
In Ecuador, passenger traffic increased 15.0% YoY and
surpassed pre-pandemic volumes by 10.1%. Both domestic and
international passenger traffic exceeded pre-pandemic levels by
14.2% and 6.5%, respectively.
In Armenia, passenger traffic continued its solid
recovery trend and increased by 43.7% YoY, surpassing the
pre-pandemic levels of July 2019 by 61.5%, down from 82.4% in June.
The sequential drop in the comparison against the same month of
2019 is explained by the fact that the months of July and August
are seasonally strong, and the Armenia airport is operating at its
maximum capacity due to the significant growth it has experienced.
This makes the comparison between July 2023 and July 2019 appear
less favorable than the comparison between June 2023 and June 2019.
In July 2019, the volume increased due to the high seasonality of
the month, whereas in July 2023, although the traffic also
increased due to the high seasonality, the growth was limited by
the current capacity of the airport.
Cargo Volume and Aircraft
Movements
Cargo volume increased 18.6% YoY to 87.7% of July 2019
levels, or 88.8% when adjusting for the discontinuation of
operations in Peru. Cargo volumes in Armenia and Uruguay were above
pre-pandemic levels, whereas Italy stood at 98.1%, Ecuador at
97.8%, Argentina at 86.2% and Brazil at 67.2%. Almost 70% of cargo
volume originated in Argentina, Ecuador and Uruguay.
Aircraft movements increased 16.2% YoY to 98.3% of July
2019 levels, or exceeded pre-pandemic levels by 1.9% when adjusting
for the discontinuation of operations in Peru. All the countries of
operations, except Ecuador and Brazil, exceeded July 2019
pre-pandemic levels.
