As we have been anticipating on social media since last month, this summer Argentina will be connected for the first time with a new Caribbean market, the island of Aruba.
The new service by Aerolíneas Argentinas will include three weekly flights from Buenos Aires, one from Córdoba, and another from Mendoza, all on Boeing 737 MAX aircraft. The official announcement, with more details on the start date and ticket sales, will be made shortly, according to close sources.
These will be seasonal flights, intended to meet the peak demand of the Southern Hemisphere's summer season.
For Aerolíneas Argentinas, reaching Aruba will be a milestone, not only because it is a destination that has never had direct flights with the country, but also because it adds a new Caribbean option after many years of operating only to Punta Cana and Cancún (and ocassionally Havana).
It is also very noteworthy that the airline is committing to operating from two cities other than Buenos Aires, thus positioning itself against competitors like LATAM, Copa, and Avianca, which channel traffic through their respective hubs.
After the pandemic, Queen Beatrix International Airport, near Oranjestad, the capital of Aruba, has been growing its air connectivity with South America.
In January 2026, in addition to Aerolíneas Argentinas, it will have the following flights with the subcontinent:
- Bogotá: 14 weekly flights by Avianca, 3 weekly flights by LATAM, and 3 weekly flights by Wingo.
- Sao Paulo/Guarulhos: 3 weekly flights by Gol.
- Lima: 5 weekly flights by LATAM.
- Medellín: 3 weekly flights by Wingo.
- Paramaribo: 2 weekly flights by Surinam Airways.
