March 27, 2020 – Since March 13, when the shutdown of regular operations was mandated by the Government through an executive order, Aerolíneas Argentinas has brought back to the country more than 14,000 Argentine passengers who were stranded in risk areas.
This number has been hit today with the arrival of four special flights: two from Miami, one from Madrid and one from Cancún.
If we consider the number of Argentine passengers who came back from abroad on any kind of flight operated by Aerolíneas Argentinas (on both regular and special flights throughout all of its network comprising 21 international destinations) after March 13, the number of Argentine people who were able to return home exceeds 27,000.
So far, Aerolíneas Argentinas has operated 42 special flights departing from Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Florianópolis, San Salvador de Bahía, Bogota, Lima, Cancún, Madrid and Miami.
“Our team is fully aware of what it means to work for the Argentine flag carrier and what the priorities are. This is why I would like to congratulate each and every one of the employees of Aerolíneas Argentinas and Austral, because they gave their best so that these flights could be operated,” stated Pablo Ceriani, President of Aerolíneas Argentinas.
Aerolíneas Argentinas is also implementing a special scheduling of domestic flights. Said schedule is intended to guarantee the connectivity within the country in light of the shutdown of regular operations currently in place.
