dsp - So, I infer from your comments that non-nationals will be able to travel to Argentina from mid Oct onwards as long as they fulfil the normal visa requirements (i.e. the ones that were in place for flights pre Covid)? Obviously, they would have to comply with whatever Covid requirements are...

I guess this sounds somewhat promising: https://www.lanacion.com.ar/economia/vuelos-meoni-confirmo-buscaran-reanudarlos-1-octubre-nid2443334

Does this mean that foreigners can enter Argentina from Sep 7 onwards as long they spend the first 14 days in quarantine?

What I have been able to glean from a few random articles over the past few days: - The Sep 1 reopening date has not yet been officially cancelled. However, a few reports indicate that it will be pushed back to until at least Oct. - Air New Zealand and Emirates have already cancelled their...

I don't see any news of the meeting that was supposed to have taken place yesterday...

Speculation that it might be another 60 days from now before flights resume... https://www.lanacion.com.ar/economia/60-dias-mas-seria-terrible-las-aerolineas-nid2417554

Absolutely, jblaze. It has always been a pretty expensive flight from Europe too. I think the only ones, for the most part, who will be willing to visit in the short to medium term will be those with a vested interest in the place (personal or business).

Even in the best of times, Argentina as a tourist destination for Europeans and North Americans is a big ask considering the distance that one needs to travel to get there. Covid will make it even more difficult as most experts believe that long haul travel is going to be hammered for years to...

So, with less than four weeks to go, there is still not any official news whether flights to Argentina will be open to non-nationals from Sep 1. The airlines must be getting pretty antsy at this stage...

Those are not regular commercial flights. They really are only open to Argentinian citizens. More info here on La Nacion: https://www.lanacion.com.ar/economia/negocios/en-agosto-aerolineas-argentinas-vuelve-volar-nueva-nid2406585

Folks, I just want to confirm one thing. Any scheduled flights to BA for Aug/Sep are still only repatriations for Arg citizens or are they open to all and sundry? I have yet to see any press release from the Arg government regarding the reopening of their borders to foreign nationals I want...

I also think that comparing Argentina with Venezuela is somewhat unfair. Similarities? Sure. However, I don't think anyone in their right mind would consider visiting Venezuela as a tourist or, God forbid, relocating there. It is the poster child for a banana republic. Argentina, for all...

Obviously, all of this means that tourism in Argentina is going to take a desperate shellacking in the short to medium term. I can't imagine many European or US visitors making such a long haul trip for some time yet. It could be at least a couple of years before numbers get back to pre-Covid...

Yep, I am also looking at sometime in Sept from Madrid if all is above board by then.

I wonder if these flights are even viable for the like of Iberia and others? Surely, there is a very limited number of Argentinians who need to travel to/from Europe at this stage. One would think that the the repatriation efforts would have been completed by now...

Thanks antipodean/Renzi. So, I guess nothing can be done at the moment except watch this space...

I see that flights from Madrid to BA in Sept are already available via Iberia. But what does that actually mean? Can only Argentinian citizens book them? Or are they open to EU nationals like myself too? Or do Iberia gladly take your money and leave it up to the individual to read up on the...
