Argentina dollarizes airport fees, hikes 140%+ for domestic flights

Argentina's government will raise the airport fee embedded in domestic tickets from $5,685 to USD 9 (over 140% increase) starting December, affecting 35 airports. The move dollarizes the fee, likely to boost revenue and align with inflation, but may pressure domestic air travel demand. Regional flights under 1,000 km get a discount, partially mitigating the impact.
