The International Air Transport Association (IATA) has expressed serious concern over recent increases in aviation fees approved by Argentina’s National Civil Aviation Administration (ANAC).
According to Resolution 265/2026, charges for international overflight and landing services will rise by 15%, while domestic air navigation fees face a much steeper increase of 359%. The measure, adopted on April 29 and published in the Official Gazette the following day, was implemented by the Empresa Argentina de Navegación Aérea (EANA).
IATA called on authorities under President Javier Milei to suspend the new charges immediately and convene a formal consultation meeting with airlines without delay. These abrupt and unilateral hikes are deeply troubling, stated Peter Cerdá, IATA’s regional vice president for the Americas. He noted that the decision came despite recent assurances from officials that no increases would occur without prior industry dialogue.
Regional airline groups have also rejected the navigation fee hikes, highlighting the lack of consultation.
