Argentina's aviation regulator has decided to remove the age cap for commercial pilots, allowing them to continue flying without mandatory retirement. Previously, Argentina enforced an age limit of 60 for single-pilot operations and 65 for multi-pilot operations. This change aligns with international discussions about raising the pilot retirement age.
The National Civil Aviation Administration of Argentina (ANAC) announced Resolution 516/2024, which amends the Argentine Civil Aviation Regulations (RAAC) to eliminate age restrictions on commercial pilots. ANAC explained that this will "increase the age limit for the holder of a pilot’s license to exercise his powers in commercial air transport operations on national and international flights."
The decision was influenced by advancements in medical technology and industry demand. ANAC stated, "With advances in medicine in general, and the need to have pilots to meet the growing demand of the aeronautical market, it is necessary to reevaluate the age limit at which pilot’s license holders can exercise their functions."
