Who Will Produce Latin America’s Sustainable Aviation Fuel?
As Latin America’s aviation sector prepares for a long-term transition toward lower-carbon operations, one question is becoming increasingly important: where will the sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) needed to power that transition actually come from? A new assessment by the MIT Center for Sustainability Science and Strategy (CS3) suggests the answer will not be evenly distributed […]
BermudAir expands Anguilla’s winter network with new Canadian gateway and additional U.S. services
BermudAir is expanding its winter schedule to Anguilla with a broader network that combines a new Canadian gateway with additional services from key U.S. markets, further strengthening air access to one of the Caribbean’s premium leisure destinations. The airline’s AnguillAir brand will introduce new seasonal flights from Toronto while increasing frequencies from Boston, Newark, Baltimore-Washington […]
Latin America’s aviation growth is accelerating. Decarbonization will have to keep pace
Latin America’s aviation sector faces a defining challenge over the next quarter century. Passenger demand is expected to continue expanding as economies grow, tourism develops and air connectivity strengthens across the region. At the same time, the industry has committed to achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, placing unprecedented pressure on governments, airlines, fuel producers […]
LAC Aviation: Connectivity Is Expanding Faster Than Safety Capacity
Latin America and the Caribbean are more connected than ever before, but the region’s ability to sustain this growth safely is emerging as a strategic challenge. The aviation industry in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) has entered a new phase of expansion. According to figures presented at the ALTA Aviation Safety, Flight Ops & […]
Beyond Airports: Aviation Supports 10.6% of the Dominican Republic ’s GDP
Air transport supports an estimated USD 12.9 billion in economic activity in the Dominican Republic, equivalent to 10.6% of national GDP, according to IATA’s Value of Air Transport country report. The wider footprint supports nearly 550,000 jobs across the economy. Yet the headline figures tell only part of the story. The report points to a […]
Guadeloupe ’s regional air recovery remains uneven across Caribbean markets
Guadeloupe ’s regional air traffic continued to recover in 2025, but the picture remains sharply uneven across neighboring markets. While flows to Martinique, French Guiana and the Northern Islands strengthened, traffic with the wider Caribbean remained well below pre-pandemic levels, highlighting a persistent gap in the recovery of regional connectivity. According to Guadeloupe Maryse Condé […]
Mexico’s World Cup traffic boost is exposing three different airport realities
The FIFA World Cup is bringing additional travel demand into Mexico, but the first airport traffic signals do not point to a uniform surge. Across the country’s three host cities, the emerging picture is more fragmented. Monterrey is showing a measurable acceleration in international passenger traffic during the tournament. Guadalajara is growing while the wider […]
For Caribbean airports, the climate challenge goes beyond decarbonisation
Aviation’s climate agenda is still largely framed around emissions. Sustainable aviation fuels, carbon markets, cleaner aircraft technologies and the path to net zero by 2050 dominate much of the debate. But reducing aviation’s contribution to climate change and preparing aviation systems for its physical impacts are two different tasks. That distinction is becoming increasingly relevant […]
Latin America drives VINCI Airports’ Q1 growth, but regional trends diverge
Latin America emerged as the main driver of traffic growth across the VINCI Airports network in the first quarter of 2026, with several markets expanding well above the group’s global pace. Yet the regional picture remained uneven, shaped by different combinations of domestic demand, airline expansion, international connectivity and fleet constraints. According to figures released […]
Guadeloupe airport bets on solar power to strengthen energy resilience
As airports worldwide seek to reduce emissions while improving operational efficiency, renewable energy is becoming an increasingly strategic component of airport infrastructure. In Guadeloupe, this transition is taking shape through a large-scale photovoltaic project designed not only to lower the airport ‘s carbon footprint but also to reinforce its long-term energy resilience. According to Guadeloupe […]
Five Levers for a Renewed Vision of Intra-Caribbean Connectivity
Bilateral over regional, convergence over harmonisation, incentive schemes, travel journey vision, effective liberalisation. The NACO/ACI-LAC study released in March 2026 does not stop at diagnosis: it puts forward five concrete levers to relaunch intra-regional connectivity. Decoding chapter 5, and closing our series. After six articles devoted to the diagnosis drawn by the NACO study commissioned […]
Why smarter borders depend on data before biometrics
As international passenger traffic continues to rebound, airports and border agencies face a common challenge: how can they accommodate growing traveller volumes without compromising security or investing in ever-expanding border infrastructure? This question was at the centre of an ACI-LAC webinar held on 17 June, presented by Alex Gerdts, Director, Airports & Borders for Latin […]
