Aerolíneas Argentinas has redoubled its commitment to the segment of travelers seeking to reach Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, one of the main tourist centers in the Caribbean, with new routes from the interior of Argentina and with more capacity from Buenos Aires.
In September, the state-owned company will start operating four weekly flights between Córdoba and Punta Cana, two more than originally announced. Operations will be on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, allowing access not only to the public from Cordoba but also from other provinces thanks to the hub at the Ambrosio Taravella airport.
On the other hand, between January and March 2025 Aerolíneas Argentinas will have two new routes connecting Punta Cana with Rosario and Tucumán, in both cases with a weekly flight on Fridays and Sundays respectively.
“These new routes seek to meet the growing demand for direct flights to vacation destinations without the need to go through Buenos Aires,” the company said.
“A significant advantage of these new flights to Punta Cana from Córdoba, Rosario and Tucumán is the possibility of boarding from Aeroparque as a domestic flight, with stopovers and immigration in the aforementioned cities. Passengers will be able to continue their trip on the same aircraft, which facilitates the process and enhances the flight experience,” they added.
In the case of the routes between Buenos Aires and Punta Cana, Aerolíneas Argentinas will operate six weekly flights during the summer, all with Airbus A330-200 aircraft with capacity for 269 passengers.
“This increase in the number of flights is part of a strategic plan designed to improve Aerolíneas Argentinas’ productivity. The addition of more efficient and cost-effective aircraft to the company’s fleet has been key to expanding routes and competing more effectively in the market. The airline recently added a new Boeing 737-MAX, the third so far this year and the twelfth in its fleet. These aircraft are ideal for covering medium-range domestic and regional routes, allowing us to increase frequencies and offer a higher quality service,” concludes the airline’s press release.
The new route between Cordoba and Punta Cana starts on September 13 with two flights per week, offering 680 seats operated with Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft. From January 1, 2025, it will be increased to four flights per week, which will be extended until April 19, 2025, returning then to the two flights per week that will be maintained throughout the year.
