Artigas is the nation's pre-eminent aviation hub, with an annual passenger throughput of 27 million in the past calendar year. It serves the capital, which has a population of 3 million and is a major commercial center in Platinea. Geographically, Montevideo is located at the center of Platinea's coastline; from Artigas, tourists can travel to the country's interior by air, rail, or car. With this in mind, the Artigas Airport Authority extends an invitation to all international carriers to open service here. Scheduled passenger flights will be held out of our just-opened International Terminal, which features three main concourses (A, B, C), each with 20 gates; non-passenger flights will come into the Freight (F) or Private concourses (P) of the terminal, each with 15 gates. Concourse T, built in 2010-2011, is part-owned by Tritas Air, and is part of a new terminal, the 'World Terminal', comprised of concourses T, U (30 passenger gates) and V (10 cargo gates).
Office and retail space in the International Terminal and World Terminal is available, at a rate of $100 per square meter; airlines can acquire up to 20000 square meters of office space.
Other businesses may apply to set up restaurants and shops in the World Terminal, or airport hotels outside the airport. Restaurants may apply for a space of up to 500 square meters, at rates of $10/square meter upfront and 1% of annual income from branches at Artigas; hotels may apply for a plot set aside for airport hotels, zoned for to up to 10 stories and 750 rooms, with a cost of $1 million per story upfront and 1% of annual income from branches at Artigas. No more than one restaurant or hotel of the same brand may be operated at Artigas.
