Flights were operated from Río de Janeiro, Florianopolis, São Paulo, Porto Seguro, San Salvador de Bahía, Bogota, Lima, Miami, Madrid, Cancun and Punta Cana.
In line with the Plan for the Gradual, Planned and Safe Reopening of Borders laid down by the Argentine Government, flights will be scheduled one by one, in order to regulate the flow of people entering the country and to ensure compliance with health and preventive isolation measures.
This new operation of special flights by Aerolíneas Argentinas is part of the “safe corridors” policy implemented by the Argentine Executive Branch, which provides for a maximum of 700 people re-entering the country by air on a daily basis. Additionally, it is worth mentioning that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Worship will continue to coordinate boarding priority decisions according to age, health issues or humanitarian reasons.
