Aircraft movement in the three-month period ending 31 March was 156.4 thousand, 73.5% of Q1 2019 levels and 58.9% higher than Q1 2021.

Nearly 85% of aircraft movements in Q1 2022 were contributed by Argentina, Brazil and Ecuador, while in Armenia it rose to 96.7% of Q1 2019 levels.

Corporación América Airports CEO Martín Eurnekian said: “This performance was driven by a sustained pick-up in travel demand partially impacted by Omicron in January and February, tariff adjustments in some of our segments, together with a solid recovery in commercial revenues and a leaner cost structure.

“Traffic in Q1 2022 stood at 65% pre-pandemic levels, however, revenues ex-IFRIC reached 78% of those reported in Q1 2019.”
