The Company announced a new flight, this time from Bogota. This is the third flight after the resumption of special operations.
April 3, 2020 – Aerolíneas Argentinas announced a new flight, this time from Bogota, scheduled for Wednesday 8, which is estimated to arrive to Ezeiza international Airport at 9.25 p.m.
This is the third exceptional flight. Other special flights have already been announced, which are scheduled to depart from Punta Cana on April 7 and from Cancun on April 6.
Unlike the regular operations to Bogota that are generally conducted with Boeing 737 aircraft with a capacity of 120 or 170 seats, this special flight will be conducted with an Airbus 330, with a capacity for 270 passengers.
It is important to highlight that tickets for said flight can be bought as from next Monday. Meanwhile, the Company will work jointly with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Worship of Argentina to confirm boarding priority passengers based on standing health protocols.
During the first stage of the special flights operation which took place between March 18 and 27, 44 special flights were operated, allowing for more than 14,000 passengers to return to the country. 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.
