In this way, the Resolution 29/2024 published this Wednesday in the Official Gazette establishes that if the exchange rate varies more than 30%, adjustments may be made to the rates and approves a new TUAC of $5,685 per boarded passenger for the year 2024, applying proportionally to other fare categories.


Why is the rate increased?
As mentioned in the official text, the increase is justified based on previous agreements between the State and the airport concessionaire, Airports Argentina 2000. These agreements establish mechanisms to adjust rates based on certain economic indicators, such as inflation and the exchange rate.
- Economic balance of the concession: The increase seeks to ensure the financial viability of the concession contract, allowing the concessionaire to make the necessary investments in infrastructure and maintenance of the airports.
- Update due to inflation and devaluation: The devaluation of the Argentine peso above a pre-established threshold has triggered the need to adjust rates to compensate for increased operating costs.
Who will be affected by this increase?
Mainly, the domestic flight passengers They will be the ones affected by this increase, since the TUAC is a tax that is included in the value of the air ticket.
What are the implications of this resolution?
- Higher cost of domestic flights: Passengers will have to pay a higher price for their plane tickets.
- Impact on demand: It is possible that the increase in fares will generate a decrease in demand for domestic flights, especially in those segments of the population most sensitive to price changes.
- Greater collection for the State and the concessionaire: Both the State and Aeropuertos Argentina 2000 will benefit from greater collection from the TUAC.
