Aerolíneas Argentinas Launches First Direct Buenos AiresAruba Route With Service Extended Through September

Strong demand prompted Aerolíneas to keep the route through September following an inaugural delayed by regional airspace limits.

Overview

  • The inaugural flight left Ezeiza late Sunday with all 170 seats sold after a postponement from the planned Saturday departure.
  • Three weekly Buenos AiresAruba flights will run during the summer, rising to four weekly from May, with weekly services from Córdoba and Mendoza.
  • Aerolíneas extended the program through late September 2026 in response to higher-than-expected bookings.
  • The route is operated by Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft, which the carrier cites for improved fuel efficiency and operating economy.
  • Aruba recorded 27,416 Argentine visitors in 2024, up 45% year over year, as Aerolíneas enters a market otherwise served via connections by GOL, LATAM, Avianca and Copa.
