(1) 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.
(2) 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.

posted in May, with international and domestic passenger traffic
