Monthly Passenger Traffic Performance (In million PAX)

Passenger Traffic Overview

Total passenger traffic decreased slightly by 0.2% in May compared to the same month in 2025. Domestic traffic declined by 8.5% year over year, primarily driven by lower traffic in Argentina. International traffic, meanwhile, increased by 7.3%, with all operating countries contributing positively on a year-over-year basis except Brazil. Growth was supported by mid- to high-single-digit increases in Uruguay, Argentina, Italy, and Ecuador, as well as double-digit growth in Armenia, despite traffic being partially affected by disruptions related to the conflict in Iran, which resulted in flight cancellations and airspace restrictions across the region.

In Argentina, total passenger traffic decreased by 5.7% year over year in May, as growth in international traffic was more than offset by a decline in domestic traffic volumes. Domestic traffic declined by 12.2% year over year, mainly driven by reduced capacity at Flybondi, which operated only three aircraft during the month, and JetSMART, which experienced lower activity due to scheduled maintenance. This was partially offset by increased activity from Aerolíneas Argentinas. The top three domestic destinations were Córdoba, Mendoza and Iguazú. International traffic remained robust, increasing by 7.2% year over year, supported by strong performance at Córdoba Airport and increased capacity from LATAM Airlines, which recorded double-digit year-over-year growth. During May, Arajet announced a new Mendoza–Punta Cana route with three weekly frequencies, while Plus Ultra announced a new Madrid–Ezeiza route with two weekly frequencies, scheduled to commence operations on July 2. The top three international destinations in May were Santiago de Chile, São Paulo, and Madrid.

In Italy, passenger traffic increased by 5.6% year over year, reflecting growth across both the international and domestic segments. International traffic, which represented more than 80% of total passenger volumes, grew by 6.6%, supported by strong demand at both airports, led by Pisa International Airport. Domestic traffic also expanded, rising by 1.3%, with positive contributions from both Pisa and Florence airports.

In Brazil, total passenger traffic increased by 3.6% year over year. Domestic traffic, which accounted for almost 60% of total traffic, declined by 1.9% year over year, while transit passengers increased by a strong 14.7% year over year. Brasília International Airport continues to benefit from its position as a key secondary hub within the domestic network.

In Uruguay, total passenger traffic, predominantly international, increased by 7.0% year over year. Among other developments, Azul Linhas Aéreas Brasileiras recently launched a new Montevideo–Belo Horizonte route, operating two weekly frequencies.

In Ecuador, passenger traffic increased by 2.6% year over year despite ongoing security concerns. International traffic grew by 5.5%, reflecting strong demand on U.S. routes and increased frequencies operated by American Airlines, Avianca, and LATAM Airlines. Domestic traffic remained broadly stable, as elevated airfares continued to constrain travel demand.

In Armenia, passenger traffic increased by a strong 12.7% year over year, despite disruptions related to the conflict in Iran, which resulted in flight cancellations and airspace restrictions across the region. However, the impact was more limited than initially expected, with traffic from Western and Eastern Europe, Asia, and Russia supporting overall growth. The new Wizz Air base at Zvartnots International Airport, launched in late 2025, continued to support connectivity with Europe.
