The flights between the two cities are scheduled to begin in April 2024, operating on Tuesdays and Saturdays. Flights will depart from Córdoba at 7:35 am, arriving in Asunción at 10:30 am. The return flight from the Paraguayan capital will be at 6:40 pm, arriving in Córdoba at 7:20 pm. The route will be operated by Embraer E190 aircraft with a capacity for 96 passengers.

The company highlighted that these flights will allow connections to the 16 domestic destinations to which it flies from Córdoba: Salta, Jujuy, Tucumán, Resistencia, Posadas, Puerto Iguazú, San Juan, Mendoza, Mar del Plata, Neuquén, Chapelco, Bariloche, Trelew, Comodoro Rivadavia, El Calafate, and Ushuaia, thus opening a new gateway to the Paraguayan market.

Aerolíneas Argentinas’ service will fill the void left by Air Europa, which until mid-this year connected Córdoba with Madrid, making a stopover in Asunción. This stopover was eliminated due to high demand in favor of offering non-stop flights.
