Please note that the initial passenger traffic figures for Ezeiza Airport, Argentina, for 2019 and January 2020 have been adjusted to include more incoming passengers not included in the initial count, for an average of about 5% of total passenger traffic at Ezeiza Airport and 1% of total traffic in CAAP during this period. Most importantly, inbound traffic does not generate revenue, as fares apply to departing passengers.

In addition, from November 2019, the corporation reclassified its passenger traffic figures from Brasilia Airport between international, domestic and transit flights retroactively from June 2018 to return to the counting method used until May 2018. Despite this, global traffic figures remain unchanged.

Passenger summary
Total passenger traffic in July 2020 was reduced by 92.9% year-on-year, reflecting the continued effect of the Covid-19 pandemic on air travel, while there is a slight sequential improvement from the 96.9% decline in June. Although more countries continued to ease the travel restrictions imposed through the government in July, demand for passengers remains low. International traffic is down 93.3% year-on-year, while domestic traffic is down 93.6% year-on-year.
In Argentina, total passenger traffic decreased by 99.5% year-on-year, due to extended government measures implemented in mid-March restricting domestic and foreign flights to involve disruption. International passenger traffic fell by 99.0%, maintaining minimum levels by repatriation and special flights, while domestic passenger traffic fell by 99.8% year-on-year.
In Italy, passenger traffic was minimized by 79.3% year-on-year, an improvement from the minimum 97.5% recorded in June. International traffic was minimized by 83.5% year-on-year, while national passenger traffic fell to a 60.8% year-on-year rate. In July, airlines continued to increase their destinations and frequencies at both airports. Several airlines currently operate at Pisa and Florence airports, including Air France, KLM, Ryanair and Vueling, among others.
In Brazil, total passenger traffic was minimized by 83.4% year-on-year, reflecting an 82.0% minimisation in domestic passenger traffic and no traffic. However, this indicated a sequential improvement over the 91.3% decline in June.
In Uruguay, passenger traffic decreased by 97.0% year-on-year. Commercial operations restarted in the first week of July, borders remain close to non-resident foreigners with some exemptions and demand for travel remains low.

In July, airlines continued to operate foreign routes to the United States, special flights to some European cities, and domestic routes to Quito.
In Armenia, total passenger traffic decreased by 95.2%, reflecting the restriction of air advertising as a component of government action. Only repatriation flights and special flights are operated and the borders remain close to non-resident aliens.
