Argentina’s underserved domestic market stands to triple in terms of traffic within five to eight years as low-cost carriers (LCCs) take advantage of the government’s decision to remove the low-end and high-end price caps it previously had imposed on domestic fares, according to Carlos Ozores, a principal in ICF’s aviation consulting practice.
