Latin America Air Cargo Surges, but Airports Hit Capacity Wall

What if Buenos Aires runway restrictions extend beyond November 11?

Simulate impact of extended capacity reduction at Buenos Aires Ezeiza Airport. Currently, runway rehabilitation work reduces capacity by 80% through November 11, 2024. Model scenarios where this restriction extends by 2, 4, or 6 weeks. Apply reduced capacity constraint to widebody aircraft operations and measure cascading effects on regional network utilization, carrier routing decisions, and export delays for Argentina-originating cargo.

What if Chilean port disruptions reduce San Antonio throughput by 40% for 12 weeks?

Model the impact of the indefinite trucker strike at San Antonio port combined with repeated road closures between Mendoza and Chilean ports. Assume aggregate throughput reduction of 40% at San Antonio for 12 weeks. Measure effects on Chilean export velocity, alternative port routing (impact on Buenos Aires and other South American ports), lead time extensions for copper, fruit, and seafood exports, and cost impacts from diversions.

What if airport saturation forces air cargo carriers to bypass Lima, Bogota, and Santiago for 6 months?

Model a scenario where 54% of Latin American airports reach full saturation, forcing international carriers to reduce frequency or skip key hub airports. Simulate reduced access to Lima Jorge Chavez, Bogota, and Santiago airports (reflecting ALTA's saturation warning) for a 6-month planning period. Measure demand backlogs, carrier rerouting to alternative hubs, cost increases from longer routings, and impact on regional export competitiveness for Peru, Colombia, and Chile.
