Aerolineas Argentinas connects Cordoba to Resistencia with a new direct flight

06/09/2016

Buenos Aires, September 6, 2016 - As from tomorrow, Aerolineas Argentinas will connect the cities of Cordoba and Resistencia with three weekly flights that will be operated by Austral Líneas Aéreas on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

These three weekly frequencies from Cordoba capital city are added to the current offer of 20 weekly flights that are operated from Buenos Aires to the Chaco capital.

"It is a true joy for Aerolíneas to continue working to connect Argentines more and more, increasing our flight frequencies between the different cities of our country and offering each passenger a better travel experience every day", said Isela Costantini, president of Aerolineas Argentinas.

The AR 2560 flight will leave Córdoba at 11:05 h to arrive in Resistencia at 12:20 h and, from this destination in the Chaco province, the AR 2561 will return at 15:35 h to arrive in Cordoba at 17:00 h.

Proof of the interest that this flight has aroused is that the new segment that links the two provincial capitals without passing through Buenos Aires has a load factor of 90% and the demand for advance reservations is highly significant.

Moreover, with the intention to continue supporting this province as Focus city, the Cordoba capital city is now connected with the city of Rio Cuarto and with the regional destination Porto Seguro, Republic of Brazil with six weekly frequencies.

Today, Aerolineas Argentinas and Austral serve Cordoba with 72 weekly flights from Buenos Aires. In addition, the airlines connect directly the Mediterranean capital with 14 weekly flights to Mendoza; 6 to Salta; 5 to Jujuy; 3 to Tucuman; 4 to Ushuaia and 7 in the corridor Córdoba/Rosario/Bariloche and Calafate.

The flights between Cordoba and Resistencia will be operated with Embraer E-190 aircraft: 96-seater aircraft, with 8 seats in Business Class and 88 seats in Economy, which also have a new and modern inflight entertainment system that improves the travel experience for passengers.
