Aeropuertos Argentina will allocate US$1.5 billion between 2027 and 2031 to expand Ezeiza, Aeroparque and interior airports. The long‑term infrastructure plan for the entire concession is valued at US$7.5 billion.

The plan includes a new 35,000‑square‑meter international arrivals terminal and a 15,000‑square‑meter extension of the international jetway with six new boarding gates.
Aeropuertos Argentina will invest US$600 million of its own funds over the next four years as part of the concession extension agreement.
