Aeropuertos Argentina invierte 500 millones de dólares en los próximos 12 meses | El Cronista

👉 Daniel Ketchibachian, CEO of Aeropuertos Argentina, reviews the record-breaking figures for the airline industry, the $500 million investment plan for the next 12 months, and how e-commerce is transforming cargo operations at Ezeiza Airport in El Cronista's CEO Talks. Participant: Daniel Ketchibachian, CEO of Aeropuertos Argentina Topics covered: ✈️ Record Year: International tourism grew 15% in the first half of the year. Domestic tourism grew 45% thanks to increased connectivity to cities like Córdoba, Mendoza, and Bariloche. Inbound tourism rose 20%, with Brazil and the United States as the main source markets. 🏗️ $500 Million in 12 Months: Aeroparque Airport is undergoing significant expansion, while Ezeiza Airport has a construction plan to rebuild both runways while the airport remains operational. Meanwhile, construction is underway in Salta, Tucumán, San Rafael, Formosa, and Resistencia. 📦 The Shein and Amazon Effect: Parcel handling at Ezeiza Airport has increased from 1,000,000 kg to 2,300,000 kg per month. To absorb this volume, Aeropuertos Argentina will inaugurate an exclusive courier terminal by the end of the year, featuring technology and processes specifically designed for e-commerce. 🧳 The 4-Day Traveler: The pandemic accelerated the trend toward short trips. Today, those who travel for four days spend almost an entire day at the airport. This has changed everything: workspaces with charging stations and dedicated Wi-Fi, top-tier dining, and a VIP offering that already includes FastPass, renovated lounges, and a new business model under development with banks and credit card companies. 🤖 AI in Airports: More than 13,000 people trained, agents deployed, and automation systems in operation. Aeropuertos Argentina has spent over two years building teams in data science, cybersecurity, and systems to scale the implementation of artificial intelligence across its entire operation. 📝 A talk about the boom in Argentine tourism, how airport infrastructure is preparing to sustain growth, and what new business opportunities e-commerce and VIP passenger services are opening up at the country's airports. 📲 Find more information, exclusive coverage, and upcoming events at 👉 https://www.cronista.com/eventos/ ✍🏻 We make economics easier for you. https://www.cronista.com/ 📲 Instagram:   / cronistacom   📲 Facebook:   / cronistacom   📲 Twitter:   / cronistacom   📲 TikTok:   / cronistacom   📲 LinkedIn:   / cronistacom
