Note that preliminary passenger traffic figures for 2019, as well as January 2020 for Ezeiza Airport, in Argentina, were adjusted to include additional inbound passengers not accounted for in the initial count, for an average of approximately 5% of total passenger traffic at Ezeiza Airport and 1% of total traffic at CAAP, during that period. Importantly, inbound traffic does not affect revenues, as tariffs are applicable on departure passengers. |

Preliminary data on 1,256 flights in January 2020 at Brasilia Airport, due to delays in the submission of information by third parties. |

Cargo volumes in Uruguay were rectified from January 2019 to June 2020, to reflect all cargo passing through the cargo terminal, instead of air cargo only. |
Passenger Traffic Overview
Total passenger traffic in April 2021 grew 13.4x YoY compared to the same period last year, reflecting easier comparisons as April 2020 was the first month fully impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. When compared to 2019, overall passenger traffic declined 60.4%, while international and domestic passenger traffic dropped 79.8% and 52.7%, respectively, impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic on air travel across all countries of operations.
In Argentina, total passenger traffic increased 28.7x YoY. When compared to 2019, overall passenger traffic declined 78.5%, with international and domestic passenger traffic declining 92.5% and 71.6%, respectively, impacted by prolonged government restrictions to international flights, including the continued closure of borders to non-resident foreigners, with certain exceptions, as well as additional travel requirements in force for Argentine nationals starting March 27, 2021.
In Italy, passenger traffic grew 68.4x YoY. Total passenger traffic against April 2019 declined 94.7%, while international and domestic passenger traffic dropped 97.1% and 85.4%, respectively, influenced by sustained air travel restrictions reenacted by the Italian government in 4Q20.
In Brazil, total passenger traffic was up 7.1x YoY. Compared to the same month in 2019, overall passenger traffic declined 69.1%, while international and domestic passenger traffic dropped 94.5% and 69.5%, respectively.
Total passenger traffic in Uruguay increased 3.8x YoY, although declined 92.7% when compared to April 2019, driven by closure of borders to non-resident foreigners, with certain exceptions.
In Ecuador, passenger traffic increased 24.9x YoY. When compared to 2019, total traffic declined 64.8%, while international and domestic passenger traffic dropped 56.7% and 71.8%, respectively.
In Armenia, total passenger traffic increased 24.0x YoY. Compared to April 2019, however, passenger traffic declined 38.2% although it increased 15.2% sequentially, as traffic continues to recover.
Cargo Volume and Aircraft Movements
Cargo volume increased 72.4% YoY, mainly due to growth of 84.5% in Argentina, 501.9% in Brazil, 185.4% in Armenia, 68.2% in Ecuador and 23.5% in Italy. This was partially offset by a decline of 33.8% in Uruguay, reflecting more difficult comparisons as April 2020 benefitted from extraordinarily high seed export volumes. When compared to April 2019, total cargo volume dropped 19.1%.
Aircraft movements increased 356.3% YoY, driven by increases of 486.6% in Argentina, 214.9% in Brazil, 317.6% in Ecuador and 495.1% in Armenia. Aircraft movements also increased 477.1% in Italy, 219.7% in Peru and 150.1% in Uruguay. When compared to April 2019, Aircraft movements declined 55.5%.
