* Aerolineas Argentinas - Cordoba (COR) to Florianopolis (FLN) and Salvador de Bahia (SSA) - eff December 2016 / January 2017
Aerolineas has already confirmed its southern hemisphere summer 2017 charters from Cordoba (COR) to Brazil, probably using 737-700's or 800's due to range considerations (not Austral E190's due to lack of range when carrying a full payload).
No word yet on Cordoba (COR) to Mar del Plata (MDQ) and Cancun (CUN) charters which were operated in summer 2016 using Austral E190's and Aerolineas A340-300's, respectively.

The E190 can reach FLN from COR without restrictions, it´s just a 2:10 hs flight.
ReplyDeleteGood point. I was thinking mostly of Porto Seguro and Salvador which I think would be beyond the E190's range with a full payload, though I am not sure about that.
DeleteCOR-BPS I think wouldn´t be a problem for the E190, but BPS-COR may require a fuel stop due to runway length limitations for take-off at BPS.
