There is an ongoing food fight between the City of Buenos Aires and the Province of Buenos Aires... the City is controlled by Rodriguez Larreta (he belongs to the PRO party, as does Macri), while the Province is now run by a Marxist Dwarf that belongs to the band of K Thugs & the Peronic Plague Party.... the latest I heard was that the City wants to open hotels and tourismo for both domestic and international travellers as soon as October, but the Federal Government wants nothing of that... EZE is in the Province, but AEP is in the City.... the problem is that the Argentine FAA is of course inside the jurisdiction of the Federal Government (and the Executive Power), so some of the rumours that the City wanted to open AEP to regional international flights so that tourism could come back in are probably way too far fetched.... the idea was that tourists could fly to one of the regional airports that is "open" for business and then hop over to AEP... but while the borders are still closed, all this is pure fantasy....
