The norm
Decreto 599/2024 (DECTO-2024-599-APN-PTE), an implementing decree of the national Executive, signed Jul 8, 2024. Official title: 'Apruebase Reglamentación' of the Código Aeronautico. It implements the Código Aeronautico (Aeronautical Code, Ley 17.285 and its amendments) and rests on the competition law, Ley 27.442. [Note: the draft's claim that the 'substantive reform of the Code' came from DNU 70/2023 does NOT follow from this primary source and stands as unconfirmed context, not as data; check it separately against DNU 70/2023 before asserting it.] verif Jul 8, 2024 ↗
Our reading
The State stops deciding who flies, where and at what price: the entry barrier to air transport falls and the fare is set by the market. It is textbook deregulation (R4 · opening and deregulation): more competitors and less red tape push toward lower fares and more routes. What must be watched is that the opening translates into real supply (slots, airport infrastructure) and is not held back by the situation of Aerolíneas Argentinas. thesis

Where it lands, province by province1
Río Negro Bariloche is a leisure destination you reach by air and whose demand is elastic to fares: if airlines set price and frequency without prior permission, how many tourists arrive stops depending on an authorization and starts depending on price. What the passenger does not spend on the ticket is spent at the destination — hotels, restaurants, excursions — which is where the province captures value. favorable opening and deregulation thesis
