Uruguay's Pluna airlines is closing - tomorrow!!!

I'm so annoyed, as I have (had???) a flight from Cordoba to Rio this Saturday morning. Just got off the phone with customer service. They told me to call back and check about a new flight tomorrow al medio dia. I feel my vacation evaporating before my eyes.

FYI - you can apply for a visa to Brazil at the consulate in Cordoba. It took five days to process my paperwork. You do not need an appointment, just arrive with all the proper documents and they will give you the form to pay at the bank.

They will fly again - just watch BQB move in and buy the assets.

But it will probably be next week , which is no good to you...

This has been on the cards for along time. They have a canadian part owner who was talking about injecting more money into it. I flew with them a couple of times to sao paulo, but because of problems i had with one flight i stopped. And for a low cost airline, with no free food/drinks etc, it wasnt cheap..

Looks like the Uruguayan government , who is a 25% shareholder, is pulling the plug and walking away.

Planes apparently up for sale.

What? That's terrible. I had a great flight with them from AEP to MVD when I was in BA in November 2011. They seemed lean, healthy and in shape, at least from a cosmetic perspective.
