Collapse at Ezeiza: What’s happening with imports and how is it affecting international logistics?

Cargo operations at Ezeiza Airport are experiencing unprecedented delays.
The switch to the new import IT system, combined with a sudden surge in demand, has created a bottleneck that is hindering the release of goods.

This not only affects importing companies facing high storage costs, but also consumers and patients awaiting critical supplies.

Industry sources explain that the problem began after the new system was implemented in late August and worsened due to the lack of a transition period. As a result, sensitive shipments are now delayed by several weeks.

The logistical consequences are clear:
• Higher storage costs 📦
• Disruption in cargo flight scheduling ✈️
• Risks to contract continuity and supply chain stability 🔗

Meanwhile, customs authorities and business chambers are working to normalize the situation in the coming weeks, prioritizing the most sensitive shipments.
