Aerolíneas Argentinas has decided to continue operating flights between São Paulo and Bariloche throughout the year. Operations have started to meet a peak winter season demand, however the success of the route influenced the decision to continue with flights in the summer period.
Despite the continuation of the route, frequencies will be reduced from October, with flights only weekly. Currently, Aerolíneas Argentinas has four direct flights a week between São Paulo (Guarulhos) and Bariloche, and three flights with a stopover in Ezeiza.
With the change, direct flights from São Paulo to Bariloche will now operate on Wednesdays, taking off at 10:00 am from Guarulhos International Airport. Direct flights from Bariloche to São Paulo (GRU) operate on Mondays, departing at 16:40 pm.
All times shown above are local, and flights last approximately 4h30.
The Boeing 737 is still responsible for flights between São Paulo and Bariloche, offering 170 seats each way. It is worth mentioning that the company will continue to offer other flights to Bariloche, through connections at Ezeiza Airport.

In the first half of January 2022, the line from Buenos Aires to Bariloche had the highest demand among those operated by the Company. There were 40,7 engers transported, which denotes an increase of 134% from that recorded in 2020, in the same period.
The expressive number of tourists who disembarked in Bariloche conditioned a high movement in the hotels, shops, tours and parks of the city. According to Emprotur, hotel occupancy reached 97% last January. The agency's expectation is that, with the qualification of the airport as a safe corridor, the number of visitors will be even greater in the coming months.
