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

Total passenger traffic up 42.7% YoY reaching 90% of pre-pandemic levels;

Armenia and Ecuador above January 2019 levels, while Argentina and Brazil at 93% and 85%, respectively

LUXEMBOURG--(BUSINESS WIRE)--February 15, 2023--Corporación América Airports S.A. (NYSE: CAAP), (“CAAP” or the “Company”) a leading private airport operator in the world, reported today a 42.7% YoY increase in passenger traffic in January 2023, reaching 89.9% of January 2019 levels.

Passenger Traffic Overview

Total passenger traffic grew 42.7% compared to the same month of 2022, supported by an ongoing recovery in travel demand after the Covid-19 pandemic, as reflected by higher load factors and the gradual resumption of routes and frequencies across all countries of operations. Overall passenger traffic reached 89.9% of January 2019 levels, up from the 87.2% posted in December, with international and domestic passenger traffic reaching 89.8% and 90.8% of January 2019 levels, respectively.

In Argentina, total passenger traffic continued to recover increasing 57.7% YoY and reaching 93.0% of January 2019 levels, up from the 92.1% posted in December. International passenger traffic reached 77.7% of pre-pandemic levels, down from the 82.7% recorded in December 2022, mainly as a result of a tough comparison due to a particularly strong January 2019. Domestic passenger traffic surpassed –for the first time– pre-pandemic levels, by 2.1%.

In Italy, passenger traffic grew 121.7% versus the same month of 2022, when traffic was heavily impacted by the Omicron variant. When compared to pre-pandemic levels, total traffic stood at 91.9% of January 2019, up from the 85.4% posted in December 2022, with international passenger traffic, which accounted for almost 75% of total traffic, reaching 92.6% of January 2019 levels.

In Brazil, total passenger traffic increased 4.3% YoY, and reached 85.3% of January 2019 levels, up from 84.3% recorded in December. Domestic traffic, which accounted for almost 60% of total traffic, improved to 86.0% of pre-pandemic levels whereas transit passengers reached 85.2% of January 2019 levels.

In Uruguay, total passenger traffic, which is largely international, increased 61.0% YoY and reached 74.4% of January 2019 levels, down from the 79.0% posted in December, partly impacted by a weaker-than-expected seasonal tourism, in Punta del Este.

In Ecuador, passenger traffic increased 48.8% YoY and surpassed pre-pandemic levels by 2.3%. International passenger traffic exceeded pre-pandemic levels by 9.3%, supported by routes to Europe, as well as the US and Panama, whereas domestic passenger traffic reached 96.6% of January 2019 pre-pandemic levels.

In Armenia, passenger traffic surpassed pre-pandemic levels for the ninth consecutive month, at 171.0% of January 2019 figures, improving from the 141.1% and 147.7% recorded in November and December, respectively. On a YoY basis, passenger traffic increased 69.8%.

Cargo Volume and Aircraft Movements

Cargo volume increased 5.1% YoY to 79.9% of January 2019 levels, or to 80.8% when adjusting for the discontinuation of operations in Peru. Cargo volumes in Armenia and Italy were above pre-pandemic levels, whereas Ecuador and Uruguay stood at 73.6% and 93.6%, respectively. Around 70% of cargo volume originated in Argentina and Brazil, which reported volume declines of 29.1% and 17.9% versus January 2019 pre-pandemic levels.

Aircraft movements increased 36.1% YoY reaching 92.6% of January 2019 levels, or 95.4% when adjusting for the discontinuation of operations in Peru. Around 75% of aircraft movements originated in Argentina and Brazil, which reached 93.8% and 92.7% of January 2019 levels, respectively. Aircraft movements in all countries of operations were above 90% of January 2019 levels, with Armenia exceeding pre-pandemic levels by 73.5%, except for Italy that stood at 88.6%.
