Argentina reduces regional airport fees to boost tourism

Argentina is implementing a significant reduction in regional airport usage fees to boost domestic and international tourism. Effective December 8, the scope of the reduced rate for short-distance international flights will expand from 300 to 1,000 kilometers.

Under Resolution 69/2026 from ORSNA, passengers traveling to international destinations within this radius will see fees drop from USD 57 to USD 25.16, a reduction of up to 56%. This measure aims to facilitate direct connections between Argentine provinces and neighboring countries, such as Córdoba to Santiago de Chile or Jujuy to Asunción, without requiring transit through Buenos Aires.

The initiative, supported by the Federal Tourism Council, also includes a 30% discount on international landing and parking fees to provide greater operational predictability for airlines and encourage the opening of new regional routes.
