Argentina Raises Domestic Aviation Security Fee to $1,725

The government says the increase will recoup higher operating costs for the Policía de Seguridad Aeroportuaria and strengthen airport security funding.

Overview

  • The government published Resolution 565/2026 on Wednesday, June 24, and the new domestic fee will apply to tickets issued from Saturday, June 27.
  • The charge for domestic (cabotaje) passengers jumps from $260 to $1,725 per passenger while regional and international rates remain fixed at US$1.40.
  • The Ministry of Security says the rise is needed to cover significantly higher PSA operating costs and to align the fee with the real cost of providing aviation security.
  • The rule preserves exemptions for four groups: very young children, diplomats, passengers on public-registered aircraft on official or sanitary missions, and transit passengers.
  • This update follows a separate ANAC increase in late May and adds to other airport charges such as aeroestación fees and taxes, which together will raise the final price paid by air travelers.
