As regards the regional network, the flight time schedule to and from San Pablo, Brazil, will benefit the connection with domestic destinations to and from Aeroparque. Therefore, passengers will be able to connect with Bariloche, Chapelco, Ushuaia, Mendoza and El Calafate.
“One of the main challenges of Aerolíneas Argentinas is making flying available for more Argentinians. Therefore, we planned the routes efficiently, selecting the most convenient schedules. The new proposal, which has a federal approach, improves connectivity between the most important cities of the country and the most visited vacation destinations of Argentina and the region”, affirmed Mario Dell’Acqua, President of Aerolíneas Group.
Moreover, these changes improve the flight experience by offering new options to the passengers. The changes of the aircraft fleet, as well as the new destinations and timetables, represent a key factor to offer a modern and competitive product, with a higher seat capacity and more space to carry even more passengers within our country and through the region.
