AR Downgrades EZE-BOG just 3x Weekly.
Not suprising due to Argentina's current situation after all.

Same story over and over again, inflation rate.

Or more to do with Avianca's competition? Remember although Argentina has these sorts of stories AV will add another daily flight later on this year.

That's right
As per Airline routes, Avianca is planning a second daily flight to Buenos Aires as of March 2019. Flight to be operated by Airbus A320 aircraft.

FAKE NEWS.... In fact, not even news at all.
This is a planned cut only for the months of October and November, low season in Argentina, and has been on the distribution systems for months now. AR 1360/1 returns to its full schedule with the summer season in December.
There has not been a single flight cancelled due too low demand, which in fact continues to hold for all carriers. All flights to FCO/MAD/JFK & MIA continue with their full daily or twice daily programmed schedules. AR is a point to point carrier on the Argentina - Colombia market, whereas Avianca carries traffic to points beyond Colombia via BOG (or LIM) from EZE or MDZ.

Sorry for the question, what is AR's current frequency? 5x weekly on the A332?
It seemed weird for me too. Flights from Colombia to Argentina are packed to the gills in and out every day with decent yields as non-stop BOG-EZE tickets are expensive. Aso, with LATAM stopping their 5x weekly service AR and AV are alone in the market.

AR's frequencies to BOG depend on the time of the year - they fluctuate between 3-4 or 5x week.
Regarding AR's participation in the Argentina-Colombia market, the airline is exercising capacity restraint to keep yields at a healthy level within the constrains of the existing WB fleet. If it were to add more A330 flights, some other A330 flights need to be cancelled or moved to another fleet. More flights could be added with the MAX 8 and the 738, but both take a performance hit in BOG and lack cargo space, something the airline needs on this route. Perhaps in the future a mix of A330 and 7M8 may be deployed but not in the immediate future.
AV's flights are packed to the gills (as are AR's), but not all those paxs are going to Colombia (or Peru): AV exercises the 6th freedom on traffic to/from Argentina, while AR mostly focuses on the point to point traffic between the two countries - P2P seems to be the nature of AR's global network, not surprising given Argentina's location - save for connections to points in Brazil, Chile and Uruguay,
