Monthly Passenger Traffic Performance (In million PAX)
Passenger Traffic Overview
Total passenger traffic increased by 14.0% in April compared to the same month in 2024. Domestic passenger traffic rose by 13.5% year-over-year (YoY), largely driven by a recovery in Argentina, as well as strong performances in Brazil and Italy. Meanwhile, international traffic grew by 14.1%, with all operating countries contributing positively YoY — except Ecuador — and with particularly strong performances in Brazil, Uruguay, and Italy. Notably, Argentina accounted for over 60% of the total traffic growth in April.
In Argentina, total passenger traffic increased by 16.4% YoY, primarily driven by the ongoing recovery in domestic traffic, which rose by 13.9% YoY — marking two consecutive months of double-digit growth. JetSMART, which recently introduced the Aeroparque-Resistencia and Aeroparque-Trelew routes, continued to gain market share and is currently the second-largest domestic operator. During April, Aerolíneas Argentinas resumed its Salta-Rosario and Neuquén-Rosario routes, while Andes Líneas Aéreas incorporated two Boeing 737-700 aircraft into its fleet. International passenger traffic also remained strong, increasing by a solid 21.1% YoY. JetSMART increased the frequency of its Buenos Aires–Asunción route, while GOL resumed operations between Córdoba and São Paulo and announced it will offer daily flights between Buenos Aires and Brasília. Also in April, SKY inaugurated its Buenos Aires–Salvador de Bahía route, and Arajet increased frequencies on its Buenos Aires–Punta Cana route.
In Italy, passenger traffic grew by 11.2% compared to the same month in 2024, mainly supported by an increase in flight frequencies by Ryanair. International passenger traffic — which accounted for over 80% of total traffic — rose by 10.3% YoY, driven by a 13.2% increase at Florence Airport and an 8.3% increase at Pisa Airport. Domestic passenger traffic grew by 15.0% YoY, driven by a robust performance at Pisa Airport.
In Brazil, total passenger traffic increased by a solid 16.8% YoY, reflecting an improvement in traffic trends despite the still challenging aviation environment and aircraft constraints in the country. Domestic traffic, which accounted for nearly 60% of total traffic, rose by 16.2% YoY, while transit passengers increased by 12.8% YoY.
In Uruguay, total passenger traffic — predominantly international — rose by 17.1% YoY, benefiting from additional demand generated by the Easter holiday. In March, Azul Linhas Aéreas announced a new direct route between Montevideo and Campinas, with five weekly flights. This new connection will help strengthen ties between Uruguay and Brazil, facilitating passenger flow and promoting the development of new commercial and tourism opportunities.
In Ecuador, where security concerns persist, passenger traffic decreased by 1.8% YoY. International traffic declined by 3.3% YoY, mainly due to reduced operations to the U.S., while domestic traffic decreased slightly by 0.6% YoY, impacted by high airfares that have dampened travel demand.
In Armenia, passenger traffic increased by 7.8% YoY. Travel demand has benefited from the introduction of new airlines and routes, as well as increased flight frequencies. Wizz Air recently announced the opening of a new base at Yerevan's Zvartnots Airport, with two aircraft and eight new direct routes to Europe.
Cargo Volume and Aircraft Movements
Cargo volume decreased by 2.3% compared to the same month in 2024, mainly due to volume reductions in Uruguay and Ecuador. Performance by country was as follows: Argentina (-0.5%), Uruguay (-14.2%), Italy (-1.0%), Armenia (+7.8%), Brazil (+2.4%), and Ecuador (-17.6%). Argentina, Brazil, and Armenia accounted for 80% of the total cargo volume in April.
Aircraft movements increased by 11.3% YoY, with positive contributions from all countries of operation: Argentina (+13.4%), Uruguay (+23.1%), Italy (+7.0%), Armenia (+10.8%), Brazil (+7.9%), and Ecuador (+6.5%). Argentina, Brazil, and Italy accounted for more than 80% of total aircraft movements in April.

Snake on a plane! Flight delayed for two hours as catcher comes to the rescue
A flight in Australia was delayed for two hours after a stowaway snake was found in the plane's cargo hold. The reptile was found as passengers were boarding Virgin Australia Flight VA337 at Melbourne Airport bound for Brisbane. Snake catcher Mark Pelley said he thought it could be venomous when he approached it in the darkened hold. But it turned out to be a harmless 60cm green tree snake. "It wasn't until after I caught the snake that I realised that it wasn't venomous. Until that point, it looked very dangerous to me," Mr Pelley said. He said when he entered the cargo hold, the snake was half hidden behind a panel and he feared it could flee deeper into the plane. "I had one chance to grab it, and if it escaped past me it would have gone into the panels, and then that would have been extremely hard to catch," he told Sky News. "Snakes are very fast-moving, thin and agile," he added. Mr Pelley said he told an aircraft engineer and airline staff they would have to evacuate the aircraft if the snake disappeared inside the plane. "I said to them if I don't get this in one shot, it's going to sneak through the panels and you're going to have to evacuate the plane because at that stage I did not know what kind of snake it was," he explained in a separate interview. "But thankfully, I got it on the first try and captured it," he added. "If I didn't get it that first time, the engineers and I would be pulling apart a [Boeing] 737 looking for a snake still right now." Read more from Sky News: Mr Pelley said because the snake is native to the Brisbane region he suspects it came on board inside a passenger's luggage and escaped. "It's actually very uncommon for snakes to be on the plane," he told Sky News. For quarantine reasons the snake cannot be returned to the wild. The animal, a protected species, has been given to a Melbourne vet to find a home with a licensed snake keeper.

Lean Hog Futures Warn of a Market Top, But Can Burgers and BLTs Save the Day?
August lean hog futures (HEQ25) saw a profit-taking setback late last week after hitting a contract high of $113.375 a hundredweight on June 17. The hog market bulls have faded, technically, as a price uptrend on the daily bar chart has at least temporarily been negated with Friday's push to a new three-week low. That is one chart clue that a market top is in place. Part of late last week's selling pressure was due to a bearish USDA quarterly hogs and pigs report published Thursday. The U.S. inventory of all hogs and pigs on June 1 was a larger-than-expected 75.1 million head. This was up slightly from June 1, 2024, and up 1% from March 1, 2025. Breeding inventory, at 5.98 million head, was down slightly from last year, and down slightly from the previous quarter. Market hog inventory, at 69.2 million head, was up slightly from last year, and up 1% from last quarter. Coffee Prices Fall on Abundant Rainfall in Brazil Cocoa Prices Higher on Dollar Weakness and Tighter Ivory Coast Supplies NY Sugar Prices Slump Ahead of July Contract Expiration Markets move fast. Keep up by reading our FREE midday Barchart Brief newsletter for exclusive charts, analysis, and headlines. Pork cutout value (KMZ25) and the CME Lean Hog Index are presently at their highest levels in almost three years, despite the relatively larger U.S. hog herd. That suggests strong consumer demand for pork at the meat counter. With beef prices at historically elevated levels and with consumer confidence declining, it is likely that we will see better consumer substitution demand for the less-expensive pork cuts over the pricier beef cuts. The latest CME Lean Hog Index is up another 48 cents to $111.89 as of June 25. The preliminary calculation puts the index up another 13 cents to $112.02 for Monday. Pork cutout value on Friday did decline by $2.19, to $117.46, but movement was solid at 333.46 loads. U.S. pork production is nearing a seasonal low. That has helped lift pork cutout value and cash hog prices as packers bid up for the smaller supplies. One worrisome element for the hog and fresh pork markets is that outdoor grilling season demand is currently peaking and will taper off after the Fourth of July holiday. Also, cash cattle prices appear to have topped out after a string of weekly record high average prices, which was halted in late June. Declining cash cattle (LEY00) and live cattle futures (LEQ25) prices in the near term would also be a bearish weight on the cash and lean hog futures markets. Starting in early July and lasting for several weeks is the bacon, lettuce and tomato (BLT) season, as home-grown tomatoes get ripe and plump, luring consumers to slap some bacon on the stove for some BLTs. Fresh bellies have been the primary driver of elevated pork cutout values as grocers have stepped up purchases in preparation for BLT-season demand. S&P 500 ($SPX) and Nasdaq ($NASX) stock index futures hit record highs last week as trader and investor risk appetite surprisingly sprang back to life after the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Iran, which significantly de-escalated Middle East tensions. If risk appetite in the marketplace remains robust, the speculative commodity market bulls will be more aggressive on the long sides of the futures markets, including lean hogs. The speculators are the grease for the skids of up-trending bull markets in commodities. Conversely, a quick return of keener risk aversion in the general marketplace could mark the end of the latest bull market in lean hog futures.
