30/07/2020

July 30, 2020 – Aerolíneas Argentinas will continue to offer discounts and special deals in the context of the “Hot Week” up to August 2.

The special offers week started last Monday with the so-called “Hot Sale” and ended on Wednesday at 11.59 p.m. During the first three days, the Company sold 77,619 tickets through its website. This is in addition to the tickets sold through travel agencies.

It is worth mentioning that yesterday the Company sold over 32,000 tickets, which became a record figure when it exceeded the 27,000 transactions made on Monday.  27,365 of the tickets sold yesterday are tickets for domestic flights, which is also a record.

“We broke the record of tickets sold last year twice in three days. I am sure that these figures will be welcome by all members of the tourism industry because they translate into income and employment,” said Pablo Ceriani, President of Aerolíneas Argentinas.

In addition to the number of tickets sold, the Company informed that 91% of the tickets were issued for the 37 destinations operated within the country. Bariloche, El Calafate, Córdoba, Mendoza, Neuquén, Salta and Iguazu were some of the main destinations chosen.

It is important to highlight that Aerolíneas Argentinas is offering a 20% discount to travel within the country as from September 1. Tickets for both domestic and international destinations may be purchased in 12-month interest-free installments.

The Company has further announced the introduction of a new “super flexible” fare to allow passengers to change their tickets at no extra cost or charge to travel within the year of validity, in the same season (high or low) for which the ticket was issued and up to December 15, 2021. Said fare will be also available for purchases during the “Hot Sale” and the “Hot Week”, and for flights departing as from September 1.

Without losing the focus on receptive tourism, Aerolíneas Argentinas will be also implementing sales initiatives abroad offering tickets at a 20% discount to those people wishing to visit Argentina between December 1, 2020 and March 30, 2021.

This special offer will allow passengers to combine destinations operated by Aerolíneas Argentinas within the country, and it will be valid during August in two stages: on the first fifteen days, it will be available for purchases made from the Americas and, on the remaining days, from Europe.
