Flights abroad: in June the weekly frequencies to the United States were increased

After a few complaints about delays in authorizing international flights to and from Buenos Aires, airlines have already confirmed their schedules for June. Most of the companies that operate flights to the United States have increased their frequencies, with more weekly flights to destinations in that country.

This is the case for Aerolineas Argentinas, which will offer 9 weekly flights to Miami in June, three more than the previous month. American Airlines has also increased its frequencies: it maintains its daily flight to Miami, but adds more flights to Dallas (there will be 17 throughout the month) and will serve New York again, with eight flights in total during the second. fortnight.

In the case of United Airlines, the company went from two to five weekly flights to Houston in June. While Delta maintains its two weekly frequencies to the city of Atlanta. Can increased flight availability lower prices?

“It is very likely that despite the increase in supply, as it continues to be very low and with demand so contained, there will be no variation in the price of tickets or it is not very noticeable. .. For example, to travel in August to Miami, Orlando or New York, there are on average tickets starting at $ 103,300. Although there are months for which the prices are much cheaper. For example, September, October and November can be had from 82,800 $ 800, he detailed. Magali Alvarez Howlin, Marketing manager of the Volalá tourism platform.

Unlike in previous months, the airlines this time obtained authorizations for their schedules for the whole month. From the International Air Transport Association (Iata), which brings together airlines from around the world, last week they asked the Argentine government to have a greater anticipation in the issuance of authorizations and more flexibility for international flights, since they received the authorizations only a few days before the start of the month. Although they stressed that they have an open and constructive dialogue with the local authorities.

The Anac must authorize the flights so that the measures established by the seat of the Cabinet and the Ministry of Health can be respected, such as the limitation that only 2,000 passengers per day can arrive from abroad at the airport. ‘Ezeiza and the two hour separation between each flight. incoming. These measures are in effect until June 11. “There is no reduction policy for commercial airlines. As an aviation authority, we always want planes to fly. The restrictions have to do with the fact that we cannot bring in more than 2,000 passengers per day, depending on what health authorities have set to support and ensure they can be tested for antigens and that implies a reduction. the number of thefts “, he underlined Paola Tamburelli, head of Anac in statements to Radio La Rouge.

Limitations on the number of international flights that can reach Argentina have also generated complaints among businesses in the United States. Two weeks ago, the US government imposed a new requirement for Aerolineas Argentinas flights arriving in their country, as a measure of reciprocity. From now on, the Argentine company must request prior authorization for each of the flights that operate to and from the United States, according to an order issued by the Ministry of Transport.
