Reduce air fares to 50% for nearby international flights

It will be from next May. ANAC has decided to do this to encourage regional traffic and connectivity between the provinces and abroad. The decision aims to promote connectivity from the interior to countries in the region such as Chile, Brazil, Bolivia, Paraguay and Uruguay.

The National Civil Aviation Authority (ANAC) has halved the tariff for nearby international flights to encourage regional traffic and connectivity between the provinces and abroad.

This was established by resolution 71/2019 published today in the Official Journal. The regulation, which will apply from May 10, will reduce by 56% the cost of its fare on regional flights abroad. This follows the expansion of the regional flight range from 300 to 1,000 kilometers.

In addition, the regulation provided that the rate for regional flights would be reduced by 50% during the first 12 months of operation of these regional flights on routes not operated by an airline during the past five years.

The measure promotes connectivity from the interior to countries in the region such as Chile, Brazil, Bolivia, Paraguay and Uruguay.

At the same time, the ANAC has also set tariffs for the security service at airports and airfields in the country.

Corresponding pbadengers providing connections between cabotage flights will only have to pay once the security tax for cabotage flights. Similarly, pbadengers transferring abroad and establishing connections between cabotage flights and an international flight will only have to pay the international flight safety rate once.

On the other hand, pbadengers transferring from abroad and connecting to another international flight, with a regional flight that is less than or equal to 1,000 kilometers, will not have to pay a security fee.

The regional flight safety rate must be paid by the pbadengers, provided that they do not make previous or subsequent connections within 24 hours on a domestic or foreign flight.

Diplomats and children who have not reached the age of three on domestic flights, as well as children under two years of age on international flights, are excluded from payment of the security service fee. .
