The Government deregulated the ramp service in transport, meaning that any company can provide the service and also offer it to other companies.

The secretary of Transport, Franco Mogettamet with the ambassador of United Arab EmiratesSaeed Abdulla Alqemzi, and Phil MacGrane, CEO for Brazil of DNATA, who expressed their intention to operate in Argentine airports.

“Just one day after the liberalisation of ground handling services, which ended Intercargo’s monopoly, we already have concrete interests from companies qualified worldwide to provide assistance to aircraft on the ground,” Mogetta said through social network X.

He said that “the company’s authorities were surprised by the opportunities that Argentina is offering as a result of the deregulation of air transport that we are carrying out through the national government.”

“Because of this -he said- they expressed their intention to work on ramp services in Argentina, especially in small and medium-sized airports throughout the country, which would facilitate operations and connectivity in more places in the interior.”

Mogetta was accompanied at the meeting by the Undersecretary of Air Transport, Hernan Gomez, and the head of the National Civil Aviation Administration (ANAC), Maria Julia Cordero.

The Government has published in the Official Gazette the new regulations for the provision of ramp services at airports, meaning that any airline can now provide the service and also offer it to other companies.

The new regulation also provides for the incorporation into the market of other companies that have the necessary means to meet the requirements and certify their status before the aeronautical authority.
