80,000 Argentines traveled to Brazil during the month of the World Cup

During the month of the World Cup, 80,000 Argentines traveled to Brazil with Aerolineas Argentinas carrying some 30,000 of these passengers on its regularly scheduled flights plus 92 charters and Andes Lineas Aereas accounting for 9,000 travelers on 32 charters.  

The rest of the passengers were carried by the other airlines that regularly fly between Argentina and Brazil, including TAM, GOL, and Emirates, the latter with one daily flight from Buenos Aires Ezeiza (EZE) to Rio de Janeiro Galeao (GIG) plus Qatar and Turkish, each with one daily flight from EZE to Sao Paulo Guarulhos (GRU).   

Much of Aerolineas' extra capacity was achieved by substituting 737NG's for many of the Embraer 190's that are normally scheduled to Brazil with the 190's being redeployed to other routes which had reduced demand due to its being low season and the World Cup itself.
