American Airlines plane at Ezeiza airport.
The Chamber of airlines in Argentina (Jurca) and the Argentina Federation of Associations of Travel and Tourism Companies (FAEVYT) coincided in repudiate the new rise in the tourist dollar, announced on Wednesday evening. They estimate that the taxes have already been paid 82% more for each passage abroad.
The airlines have expressed their opinion “worry” from the Government’s decision on the tourist dollar to increase the perception in the Profit and Heritage account from 35% to 45%. They pointed this out “opposes the incentive of tourism and its consequent currency revenues for the country”.
Furthermore, they warned that they were taken by surprise since it had not been notified by AFIP or any other official body.
Consequently, the first reaction was suspend the sale of tickets throughout Thursday, to adapt their systems.
“The adaptation of the systems takes some time, but is being organized with JURCA and IATA for the reservation systems,” they said in one of the major European airlines landing in Ezeiza.
“Conversations unfold so that the new system takes effect in 24-48 hours“, they added.

The perception of AFIP, as well as the PAIS tax and other taxes applied by the state, appear on the bill of air tickets in pesos, as the issue is always done in local currency.
But all charges (whether or not they appear in detail, which varies depending on the airline) are calculated in proportion to the initial price, which is the dollar rate converted at the official exchange rate of the day.
Jurca is an entity that It brings together virtually all airlines operating in the country. Although Aerolineas Argentinas is one of its partners, the main entry in this room is foreign airlines. According to their numbers, with the new increase, each passenger pays a 82% more on the fare.
The declaration, signed by its executive director, Filippo Baravalle, He also stressed that “while other countries strive to continue to attract hospitality tourism, making available as many seats / flights as possible, this measure takes us in the opposite direction”.
