SWOT Analysis – Corporación América Airports S.A., a powerful force in LatinAm now looking to expand

Corporación América Airports has been around for decades, although it is still better known by the name of the division Aeropuertos Argentina, the first one, which came along when an ailing textile company was looking for, and found, the main chance.

It is fair to say that it is not too well known outside South America, despite having airport assets in Italy and Armenia and pitching for others in Europe at the present time.

Its Argentinean division, and the one in Brazil that looks after the capital's airport there, are the primary drivers of the business.

But latterly it has been looking to expand in Africa, which can be dangerous territory for the uninitiated.

Its financial affairs appear to be in good order, and are strengthening in each reporting period after the COVID-19 pandemic.

A SWOT analysis reveals that it has more strengths than weaknesses, and the opportunities/threats trade-off will mainly be influenced by its attempted excursions into Africa.
