Aerolineas Argentinas today announced a series of changes in its domestic, regional and international network, which will improve connectivity, adding direct frequencies between cities without having to pass through Buenos Aires, and expanding the offer of flights for the winter season.
Among the announcements, from July onwards, Aerolíneas will offer 18% more seats on domestic flights as part of an aggressive plan to increase the connectivity in the country.
"We will offer the best connectivity in the country promoting tourism and improving the experience of tourists both from Argentina as for those from abroad, adding new routes to the domestic network and with the best international and regional non-stop offer to major cities in the world", said Diego Garcia, Aerolíneas Argentinas’ Commercial Area Manager.

Regarding the new domestic network, the announced changes will involve a greater number of flights directly from the provinces to Ezeiza Airport, as is the case of Salta, allowing a better connection of that province with the international offer of Aerolíneas. The amount of direct flights to link the north and the south of the country, will also be increased with four new flights on the Córdoba-Ushuaia segment and adding new flights between cities, such as Rosario-Mendoza and Córdoba-Jujuy, that is, flights within the country without passing through Buenos Aires, which will result in time savings for our passengers.
