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.

(3)

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 May 2021 grew 12.8x YoY compared to the same period last year, reflecting easier comparisons as May 2020 was fully impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

In Argentina, total passenger traffic increased 12.0x YoY. Against May 2019, overall passenger traffic declined 86.3%, with international passenger traffic declining 91.6%, 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. Domestic passenger traffic declined 83.9% versus 2019, impacted by a national lockdown reinstated during the last days of the month.
