Argentine Airlines has confirmed the extension of its flight operations to Aruba through April 2026, strengthening the connection between the “Happy Island” and the Argentine market. The announcement, welcomed by the Aruba Tourism Authority (ATA), follows the strong demand recorded since the launch of the route. Current frequencies from Buenos Aires, Córdoba, and Mendoza (the latter operating seasonally) will remain in place.
“The continuation of flights until April confirms the enormous enthusiasm Aruba generates in the Argentine market,” said Jordan Schlipken Croes, ATA’s Director for Latin America.
Extended Flight Operations
The airline will maintain the same successful flight schedule.
During January and February 2026, the following frequencies will operate:
- 3 weekly flights from Buenos Aires
- 1 weekly flight from Córdoba
- 1 weekly flight from Mendoza (seasonal)
For March and April 2026, flights will continue from Buenos Aires and Córdoba, while the Mendoza connection will conclude at the end of the summer season. Tickets will be available for purchase starting November 2025.
| Season | Buenos Aires | Córdoba | Mendoza |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jan–Feb 2026 | 3 flights/week | 1 flight/week | 1 flight/week |
| Mar–Apr 2026 | 3 flights/week | 1 flight/week | Does not operate |
Boost for Regional Tourism
ATA CEO Ronella Croes highlighted the strategic importance of the extended operation:
“Aerolíneas Argentinas has shown sustained commitment to Aruba by maintaining and expanding an operation that is already delivering excellent results. Extending service until April not only responds to demand — it strengthens our vision for sustainable, high-quality tourism.”
This expansion reinforces Aruba’s position as a preferred Caribbean destination for Argentine travelers, offering year-round warm weather, turquoise beaches, and a well-developed tourism infrastructure. The improved air connectivity represents a significant boost for tourism development in both Aruba and Argentina.
