Corporación América Airports S.A. Reports August 2023 Passenger Traffic

Total passenger traffic up 18.7% YoY reaching 99% of pre-pandemic levels

Armenia, Ecuador, Italy and Brazil above August 2019 levels

Aircraft movements at 99% of August 2019

LUXEMBOURG--(BUSINESS WIRE)--September 15, 2023--Corporación América Airports S.A. (NYSE: CAAP), (“CAAP” or the “Company”), one of the leading private airport operators in the world, reported today a 18.7% year-on-year (YoY) increase in passenger traffic in August 2023, reaching 98.7% of August 2019 levels.

Passenger Traffic Overview

Total passenger traffic grew 18.7% 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 98.7% of August 2019 levels, up from 96.3% posted in July, with international passenger traffic surpassing pre-pandemic levels of August 2019 by 3.9%. Domestic traffic stood at 96.3% of August 2019, up from 93.6% in July.

In Argentina, total passenger traffic continued to recover in August, increasing 23.8% year-over-year (YoY) and reaching 98.4% of pre-pandemic volumes, a slight improvement from 98.1% in July. Domestic traffic had declined compared to May and June when it benefited from a government program aimed at boosting domestic tourism. However, domestic traffic increased on an absolute basis month-over-month and was 2.9% higher than August 2019 levels. International passenger traffic also continued to recover, reaching 87.0% of pre-pandemic levels, a slight decrease from the 88.3% recorded in July.

In Italy, passenger traffic benefited from the summer season and grew by 16.8% compared to the same month in 2022 and surpassed pre-pandemic levels for the second consecutive month, increasing by 4.1% compared to August 2019. International passenger traffic, which accounted for 80% of the total traffic, exceeded August 2019 levels by 1.6%, while domestic passenger traffic surpassed pre-pandemic levels by 16.4%. Although some pre-pandemic destinations still need to resume at Pisa airport, Florence airport has already exceeded 2019 levels and was 19.8% above August 2019 traffic volumes.

In Brazil, total passenger traffic increased by 3.8% YoY and surpassed pre-pandemic levels for the first time, rising by 1.4% compared to August 2019. Domestic traffic, which accounted for two-thirds of the total traffic, exceeded pre-pandemic levels by 7.8%, while transit passengers improved to 88.9% of August 2019 levels, up from 77.6% in July.

In Uruguay, total passenger traffic, which is largely international, continued to recover and increased 35.1% YoY, reaching 91.3% of August 2019 levels, a slight decline from 94.6% recorded in July.

In Ecuador, passenger traffic increased 5.2% YoY and surpassed pre-pandemic volumes by 6.5%. Both domestic and international passenger traffic exceeded pre-pandemic levels by 12.0% and 2.0%, respectively.

In Armenia, passenger traffic continued its solid recovery trend, increasing by 41.9% YoY and surpassing the pre-pandemic levels of August 2019 by 62.0%. This is consistent with the 61.5% growth recorded in July but a decline from the 82.4% growth observed in June. The drop in the comparison against the same month of 2019, as compared to June, is explained by the fact that July and August are traditionally strong months in terms of passenger traffic, and the Armenia airport is operating at its maximum capacity due to the significant growth it has experienced. This makes the comparison between August 2023 and August 2019 appear less favorable than the comparison between June 2023 and June 2019. In August 2019, the volume increased due to the high seasonality of the month, whereas in August 2023, although traffic also increased due to high seasonality, the growth was limited by the current capacity of the airport.

Cargo Volume and Aircraft Movements

Cargo volume increased 15.4% YoY and improved to 95.5% of August 2019 levels, or 97.1% when adjusting for the discontinuation of operations in Peru. Cargo volumes in Armenia and Uruguay were above pre-pandemic levels, whereas Italy stood at 90.8%, Ecuador at 99.2%, Argentina at 92.6% and Brazil at 86.1%. Almost 70% of cargo volume originated in Argentina, Ecuador and Uruguay.

Aircraft movements increased 11.0% YoY to 99.9% of August 2019 levels, or exceeded pre-pandemic levels by 3.7% when adjusting for the discontinuation of operations in Peru. All the countries of operations, except Ecuador, exceeded August 2019 pre-pandemic levels.
