Argentina Airports: A Report Says the Concession Could Run to 2066
Ambito reports the Milei government quietly signed an agreement that could extend the Argentina airports concession to 2056, with an option running to 2066. The post Argentina Airports: A Report Says the Concession Could Run to 2066 appeared first on The Rio Times .
Ambito Financiero, a major Argentine business newspaper, published a report on September 7, 2026 detailing a recently signed document that could extend the Argentina airports concession nearly three decades. The current concession expires in 2038, but according to the report, it could be extended through 2056 and then granted a further ten-year option, potentially reaching 2066.
The extension was made possible by the use of the Ley de Bases y Puntos de Partida, a broad reform law passed in 2024 that grants the executive extensive powers over state contracts. While the report describes the government's potential move, no formal announcement or decree has been published by the government, so the extension remains a matter of speculation rather than confirmed policy.
The newspaper highlights the governance implications of using a reform statute to adjust an existing concession, noting that this approach differs from running a new tender auction, which would invite competition.
