Passenger Traffic Overview

Total passenger traffic in October 2021 grew 2.0x compared to the same period of last year, driven by increases across all countries of operations, particularly in Argentina, reflecting easier comparisons due to tougher travel restrictions in the year ago period. When compared to 2019, overall passenger traffic declined 41.6%, impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, though consistently improving from the decline of 75.7% recorded in April. International and domestic passenger traffic dropped 57.5% and 34.5%, respectively, from pre-pandemic levels of October 2019.

In Argentina, total passenger traffic increased 18.7x YoY. Against October 2019, overall passenger traffic declined 56.2%, with international passenger traffic decreasing 81.5%, impacted by tight government restrictions to international flights, including a limit of 2,300 arriving international passengers per day for most part of the month, while borders remained closed to non-resident foreigners, with limited exceptions. Domestic passenger traffic, which has no restrictions, declined 44.4% compared to 2019, improving sequentially from the decline of 53.4% recorded in September.

In Italy, where the recovery continued throughout the year, passenger traffic grew 211.2% YoY. When compared to October 2019, passenger traffic declined 41.1%, improving from the 47.7% drop reported in September, which benefited from the summer season in the region. International passenger traffic continued to improve sequentially, decreasing 46.7% in October 2021 against the same month in 2019, whereas domestic traffic stood at over 80% of pre-pandemic levels.

In Brazil, total passenger traffic was up 46.1% YoY. Compared to the same month in 2019, overall passenger traffic declined 20.9%, showing a continued improvement from the 69.1% drop posted in April 2021, reflecting better sanitary conditions in the country, advanced vaccination roll-out and increased passenger demand.

Total passenger traffic in Uruguay increased 3.5x YoY. Against October 2019, passenger traffic was down 64.5% but continued to improve sequentially, benefiting from the partial opening of borders, effective September 1.
