Argentina Authorizes CrossRacer Ramp as 10th Ground-Handling Operator Under New Rules

The approval advances the market opening by enforcing equal-access rules under ORSNA oversight.

Overview

  • Disposition 45/2025, published in the Official Gazette, authorizes CrossRacer Ramp to provide nationwide ramp and airport handling services, making it the tenth provider since deregulation began.
  • CrossRacer will base operations at Ezeiza with 180 certified employees and equipment to handle three wide‑body aircraft at once, and it already serves airlines such as Lufthansa, United, Air France, KLM and Copa.
  • Technical units of the DNTA within ANAC issued favorable opinions that verified the company’s operational capability and financial solvency.
  • The updated regulatory framework ends exclusivity in ground handling, mandates uniform pricing for infrastructure use and bars auctions or preferential conditions that favor any operator.
  • Conflicts over space allocation or commercial terms must first be taken to ORSNA, which now supervises fair access at airports with limited capacity.
