Cumulative Record from January to November 2025
November’s performance adds to a year of exceptional results. Between January and November 2025, the country’s airports mobilized 45,913,230 passengers, constituting an absolute historic record.
This total implies:

- Córdoba: +62%
- Salta: +32%

The performance confirms the consolidation of internal routes and the increase in demand for air transport within Argentina.

A notable highlight of the month was the increase in passengers who connected directly from the country’s interior to international destinations, without passing through Buenos Aires. During November, 157,785 people used this modality.
This figure represents:

Growth Driven by Structural Changes
The sustained evolution of Argentina’s commercial aviation system reflects the impact of Open Skies policies and the deregulation process promoted by the National Government. These measures have favored the expansion of connectivity, the incorporation of new operators, and the strengthening of a more dynamic and efficient market, whose results are clearly evident in the historic records achieved during 2025.
