Taking a play out of the Gol playbook, where third-country airlines are allowed to add service to the drastically underserved Miami-Venezuela market, Aerolineas Argentinas has announced plans for a second-daily flight to Miami. The flight will be a daylight service to Buenos Aires, and will operate via Caracas on a daily basis later this year. No exact start date has been announced, however.

Is it an A340 or a 737-700 for the day flight ? AR does fly a 737-700 nonstop to Bogota from EZE so CCS by 737 is possible.

Interesting to see this. It would be a B-73G / 738 flight ?
New York + Rio de Janeiro = One of the best combinations !

The US and Venezuela is having a "dissagrement" over landing rights so they screw AA and the USA limits Santa Barbara Airlines on the Miami-Caracas route.

As a passenger, I hope both AR and G3 get access to the route and start daily flights as has been announced, and bring down prices a little bit. But it will be interesting to see how long it takes before the Venezuelan government stops approving fifth freedom flights on CCS-MIA by foreign carriers, and give AA what they want so that the Venezuelan carriers also start adding flights to Miami/Fort Lauderdale.

Maybe they revenue-share with them so that flying on their own metal would be of no economic advantage to them.

It will be an A340, of course. Instead of having an A340 parked at MIA all day, the A340 will leave Miami in the morning and operate a daylight to EZE via Caracas.

CM has been flying EZE-PTY with B73G's and B738's which is 3,313mi, therefore, a B73G on the EZE-CCS route will not be a problem since it is only 3,173mi.

Does this still require US government approval? Given that the Venezuelan government refuses to approve new US entrants into Venezuela, I hope the US DOT can hold this route from happening. No more foreign airlines should be allowed until NK gets approval for CCS.

I assume so, BUT it will be approval in terms of the USA/Argentina bi-lateral (ie does AR have rights from the USA to operate via CCS), USA/Venezuela considerations are irrelevant unless the USA wants start a dispute with Argentina, which seems unlikely.

I am aware of the LONG uses Copa has with 737NG's, I didn't say it could NOT be done, I just want to know if AR was going to use a 737-700 ?

Does anyone know if this is approved under the US/Argentina bilateral agreement? Where can one find copies of all of these agreements?

Good way to increase aircraft utilization, like LAN's daylight SCL-xxx-MIA flights, where the stop changes depending on the day of the week.
Any updates on Spirit's rumored FLL-CCS-EZE flight?

They are on the State Department's web site, along with most (all?) other international treaties that the USA has concluded.

AR launching MIA-CCS-EZE and EZE-CCS-MIA daytime is a reaction to G3 GRU-CCS-MIA or was it planned long before G3 thought of the CCS-MIA tag-on?
An A340 on the MIA-CCS-MIA will sure add a lot of capacity and will most likely do quite well but Could CCS-EZE O/D support a daily A340 service?

You think AR is that thoughtful? I think they saw they had spare time in MIA and looked at what others are doing such as LA's MIA tags and G3's hops.

Spirit wants to fly to Caracas, but never have I heard Buenos Aires. AN A320 from FLL to EZE no matter how cheap seems unlikely.

Hopefully NK will be allowed to start CCS. They will hopefully be able to put a dent in AR and G3's business on that route.
