Restructuring Argentina's airline networks: Successes and challenges
Abstract Argentina's aviation networks underwent significant restructuring after the 2015 election of President Mauricio Macri. Historically constrained by poor aviation infrastructure, economic uncertainty, currency devaluations, labor unrest, comparatively weak passenger demand, and operational barriers to low-cost carriers (LCCs), Argentina's airline networks have experienced deep restructuring in both providers and network interactions. With less than 0.3 trips per capita in Argentina, compared to 3.0 in the mature U.S. aviation market, analysts argue that there is significant potential for moving bus and automobile travelers to airlines, and to expanding Argentina's airline connectivity profitably throughout the region. LCCs such as Flybondi, Norwegian, Air Europa, Sky, JetSmart, and others are challenging long-standing transportation relationships in the region and developing new routes for consumers. A set of interlinked questions aims to understand Argentina's changing aviation geography. Comparing O-D data from 1972, 1982, 1996, and 2019, the results indicate a significant reorganization of Argentinas domestic and regional network interactions, with modest adjustments to its global north-south connections. Challenges include outcomes of a recent change in Argentina's government and the long-term impact of the global COVID19 pandemic on the aviation system.
Highlights Examines the aviation geography of Argentina and highlights changes over space and time; Compares origin-destination relationships for 1972, 1982, 1996, and 2019 to reveal spatial shifts in relationships; Distinguishes between origin-destination relationships with Global North cities and Global South cities; Highlights the role of Brazil as the dominant aviation destination for Argentina Highlights where low-cost carriers (LCCs) have entered the aviation market Examines role of LCCs in expanding flight options for interior cities; Discusses potential of LCCs in Argentina to remain successful in light of the country's current political, economic, and health environments.
