Thank you, Iñaki, and good morning to everyone joining us today. We started 2006 with a strong first quarter performance. Across the business, we saw solid traffic growth, continued revenue momentum, strong profitability, and further strengthening of our balance sheet. Passenger traffic increased 7% year-over-year, supported by positive trends across all our countries of operation. International traffic remained the main driver of growth, with particularly strong performance in Argentina, where additional routes, higher frequencies, and solid summer demand continued to support the recovery in international travel. Revenue performance was particularly encouraging, with top-line growth well ahead of passenger traffic. This was supported by healthy growth in international passengers and our ability to continue increasing revenue per passenger in our commercial activities. Profitability showed strong progress in the quarter. Adjusted EBITDA increased as the faster pace of traffic and margins expanded as higher revenues flowed through the cost base, evidencing our discipline management. Argentina and Armenia were the largest contributors to EBITDA growth, while other countries also posted positive year-over-year performance. We closed the quarter with a strong balance sheet. Leverage declined further, providing significant flexibility to invest in our operations, pursue disciplined growth opportunities, and consider the implementation of a dividend policy. Finally, it is important to highlight the resilience of Armenia. Despite the regional geopolitical situation, the business continued to perform well, supported by increased connectivity and the lower anticipated impact from the Middle East conflict. Overall, this was a strong start of the year and reinforces the resilience of our portfolio and the benefits of our diversified platform. Moving on to passenger traffic on slide four, we posted a strong performance across our operations. with nearly 22 million passengers traveling across our airports. Growth was mainly driven by international travel, which increased nearly 14% with positive contributions from every country in the portfolio and double-digit growth in Argentina, Italy and Ecuador. Domestic traffic was broadly stable in the quarter. Growth in Brazil and Ecuador offset software domestic volumes in Argentina and Italy, where performance was affected by capacity constraints, operational disruptions, and in Argentina, the 24-hour nationwide strike in February. Looking at the main markets, in Argentina, passenger traffic increased close to 6% year-over-year. International traffic growth remained very strong, up 19%, driven by traffic with Brazil and the Caribbean and solid demand during the summer and carnival periods. Domestic traffic was slightly lower, mainly reflecting temporary free constraints at some of the airlines, together with the one-day nationwide labor strike in February that disrupted operations. Even with these headwinds, key leisure destinations such as Pariloche, Cordoba, Iguazu, and Mendoza performed well during the quarter. In Italy, traffic grew just over 7% driven by international passengers, which accounted for close to 80% of total traffic and increased more than 10% year over year. Both Florence and Pisa contributed to this performance. Domestic traffic was moderately lower, mainly due to reduced activity at Florence, while adverse weather in January also led to some cancellations and diversions. In Brazil, traffic increased by 12%, reflecting a better environment after the constraints seen in the aviation sector in prior periods. Domestic traffic grew by nearly 6%, transit passengers increased by more than 20%, and international traffic also contributed positively. Brasilia continued to benefit from its geographic location and large infrastructure, allowing it to maintain its role as an important domestic hub in the country. Passenger traffic in Uruguay increased by nearly 4%, supported by the summer season and additional frequencies. Both new and resumed routes connecting Montevideo and with destinations in Brazil and Argentina, including services from , and helped support demand during the quarter. In Armenia, traffic was up 8.5%, supported by expanded airline activity, additional routes, and higher frequencies. The new base launched in late 2025 continued to support connectivity with Europe. March was affected by regional disruptions related to the conflict in the Middle East, including flight cancellations due to airspace restrictions. However, the impact was more limited than initially expected. Lastly, traffic in Ecuador increased 7% despite ongoing security concerns. International traffic was up more than 10%, supported mainly by higher frequencies in the U.S. and continued activity on European routes. Domestic traffic also improved, although high airfares remained a constraint on demand. In sum, traffic growth in the quarter was healthy and broad-based, with international demand continuing to be the key driver across the portfolio. Turning to cargo on slide five, we also delivered a strong quarter in our cargo business. with cargo-related revenues up 16% year-over-year, supported by solid contributions from Argentina and Uruguay. On the volume side, results were mixed across the portfolio. Total cargo volume was up 1.7% versus last year, with growth in Armenia and Argentina upset by softer trends in Brazil, Italy, Uruguay, and Ecuador. Looking ahead, we remain focused on strengthening our cargo platform, improving our commercial capabilities, and continuing to capture growth opportunities across the network. Let me now turn the call over to Jorge, who will review our financial results. Please go ahead.
