ROUTE UPDATES: Andes LIneas Aereas steady growth in late 2017 / early 2018


Andes Lineas Aereas was reported by various news outlets to be planning the following new routes over the last few months.  Most of the scheduled flights have been verified by the editor of this blog as currently in operation but they might have started later than originally announced.  

All routes are operated by MD-83's or 737-800's or a combination of both. 

Scheduled Service

Buenos Aires Aeroparque (AEP) - Tucuman (TUC) - eff 21Nov17 - 6x/weekly

The route was originally announced as going on to Jujuy (JUJ) after stopping in Tucuman (TUC) but the airline is currently flying Buenos Aires Aeroparque (AEP) to Jujuy (JUJ) non-stop and might not have ever started Jujuy (JUJ) as an extension of Tucuman (TUC).   
  
Summer 2018 - Seasonal Service - Scheduled

Buenos Aires Aeroparque (AEP) - Punta del Este, Uruguay (PDP) - eff 22Dec17 - 5x/weekly

This marks the first scheduled international service by Andes although the airline has flown charter series for tour companies to Brazil and the Caribbean plus occasional international ad hoc charters for professional sports teams, in addition to the large number of Argentine domestic student and sports charters that it has flown for many years. 

Buenos Aires Aeroparque (AEP) - Mar del Plata (MDQ) - eff 27Dec17 - 3x/weekly

This is a resumption of the route that Andes flew in summer 2017.

Buenos Aires Aeroparque (AEP) or Ezeiza (EZE) - Florianopolis, Brazil (FLN) - eff January 2018

Summer 2018 - Seasonal Service - Charters

Buenos Aires Ezeiza (EZE) - Varadero, Cuba (VRA) - eff 30Dec17 - 1x/weekly

Buenos Aires Ezeiza (EZE) - Porlamar, Venezuela (PMV) - eff 30Dec17 - 2x/weekly

Buenos Aires Ezeiza (EZE) - Samana, Dominican Republic (AZS) - eff Dec 2017 ? - 1x/weekly

Buenos Aires Ezeiza (EZE) - Cabo Frio, Brazil (CFB) - eff January 2018

Buenos Aires Ezeiza (EZE) - Porto Seguro, Brazil (BPS) - eff January 2018

Buenos Aires Ezeiza (EZE) - Salvador, Brazil (SSA) - eff January 2018

Cordoba (COR) - Florianopolis, Brazil (FLN) - eff 04Nov17-31Mar18

Cordoba (COR) - Cabo Frio, Brazil (CFB) - eff January 2018 (?)

Ongoing Charters

Cordoba (COR) - Maceio, Brazil (MCZ) - eff 07Apr18

This is a new charter service contracted by tour operators for sale to customers buying tour packages.  It is intended as a year-round service to this beach resort in northeastern Brazil subsidized by the local state government in the form of reduced fuel taxes to incentivize flights that will help fill local hotels in the offseason.

ROUTE UPDATES: Aerolineas Argentinas Seasonal Summer Service


* Seasonal Summer Service 

Aerolineas Argentinas / Austral were reported by various news outlets to be planning the following routes during the southern hemisphere summer months and presumably operated them though planned service occasionally does not materialize as announced:

Cordoba (COR) - Mar del Plata (MDQ) - eff 10Dec17 - seasonal summer service

Flights were scheduled to be operated by Austral E190's 3x/weekly which transitioned to 7x/weekly when the peak summer arrived, presumably in January.

Cordoba (COR) - Punta del Este (PDP) - eff 25Dec17 - seasonal summer service

Flights were scheduled to be operated by Austral E190's and Aerolineas Argentinas 737 series aircraft 4x/weekly. 

Cordoba (COR) - Florianopolis (PDP) - eff 01Jan18 - seasonal summer service

Flights were planned to be operated by Austral E190's 3x/weekly.

* General Information on Seasonal Summer Service without detailed start dates, aircraft types etc.:    

Jujuy (JUJ) - Sao Paulo - January & February - 1x/weekly

Service was presumably to Sao Paulo Guarulhos (GRU) with type of aircraft not announced.  These were charter flights contracted by the package tour operator Badino.  This service was significant in that it was to connect northwest Argentina directly with Brazil for inbound and outbound tourism without connecting through Buenos Aires Aeroparque (AEP) or Cordoba (COR).         

* Bahia Blanca (BHI) - Bariloche (BRC) - 4x/weekly

Was probably operated with Austral E190's as they are the aircraft type most commonly used in domestic routes connecting "interior" points directly to each other. 

* Mar del Plata (MDQ) summer service

Buenos Aires (presumably Aeroparque (AEP)) increase to 30 weekly flights.

Flights from Cordoba (COR), Mendoza (MDZ), Rosario (ROS), and Tucuman (TUC) were due to start in December presumably operated mostly by Austral E190's as in the past.

* Brazil summer service

Flights to Florianopolis (FLN) from Buenos Aires (Aeroparque and/or Ezeiza?), Cordoba (COR), Mendoza (MDZ), and Rosario (ROS).  

Flights to Rio de Janeiro Galeao (GIG) from Cordoba (COR) and Rosario (ROS).  

* Uruguay summer service

Flights to Punta del Este (PDP) from Cordoba (COR) and Rosario (ROS).

Flights to Punta del Este (PDP) from Buenos Aires (mostly or exclusively from Aeroparque) increasing from the typical 1x/daily offseason service to 32x/weekly in the peak January / February summer season.

ROUTE UPDATES: Cordoba (COR) - Aerolineas Argentinas - More New Routes & Summer Charters


More Cordoba (COR) route news:

Aerolineas Argentinas - Cordoba (COR) - Porto Seguro (BPS) - eff 09Sep16

The route will be operated 1x/weekly using 737-800's.  This type of route to a Brazilian beach resort is normally operated as a seasonal summer service but the airline is getting an early start on it this year. 

Aerolineas Argentinas - Cordoba (COR) - Rio Cuarto (RCU) - Buenos Aires Aeroparque (AEP) round-trip - eff 11Sep16

This service will be flown 6x/weekly using Austral E190's departing Cordoba (COR) in the early morning, stopping in Rio Cuarto (RCU), and continuing to Buenos Aires Aeroparque (AEP), arriving there at 9:10am.  The return journey is the same routing in reverse departing Aeroparque to Rio Cuarto and Cordoba at 8:25pm, making for very convenient daytrip possibilities for Rio Cuarto residents traveling to Buenos Aires for business or other reasons. 

The Rio Cuarto (RCU) - Buenos Aires Aeroparque (AEP) route was served by Sol Lineas Aereas using their Saab 340's during approx. 2008 - 2011 and also Aerolineas Argentinas in decades past.  Rio Cuarto (RCU) - Cordoba (COR) was served for a short time by Southern Winds using their CRJ-200's in the late 1990's. 
  
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.

ROUTE UPDATES: Aerolineas Argentinas New Flights to Miami, Rio Hondo & Summer Charters to Brazil and Mexico

Aerolineas Argentinas route news from the last couple of months:

New Rio Hondo Flights 

The airline's smaller sister carrier, Austral, started EMB-190 service from Buenos Aires Aeroparque (AEP) to Rio Hondo (RHD) on 24Aug12 with twice-weekly flights on Fridays and Sundays.  The destination is known for its thermal hot springs resort.  The two flights were transferred from the airport of the nearby provincial capital, also named Santiago del Estero (SDE). 

The Rio Hondo airport is a brand-new facility which was inaugurated on 25Jul12, a few days before the first Austral flight.  There was some debate about the need for the new airport since it is located only 37 miles (60km) from Santiago del Estero and 55 miles (90km) from Tucuman, an important northwestern city.
