Aeroparque service normalizes with some flight disruptions

Both Aerolíneas Argentinas and Austral airlines informed passengers today that flight schedules were running as normal out of Aeroparque Metropolitan airport, with the exception of flights to Córdoba, Mendoza, San Juan and San Rafael, which this morning had been affected by a new presence of volcanic ash in the airspace.

According to AA2000 officials, nine services were hindered this morning due to the new presence of volcano ash being blown in from the south, on Aerolíneas, Austral and Lan Argentina airlines.

Flight services on Aerolíneas Argentinas and Austral airlines began to operate normally as of yesterday morning after delays caused difficulties throughout the weekend. Lan Argentina also issued a report informing that it had “slowly began resuming its operations” from both Ezeiza and Aeroparque airports.

Puyehue volcano, located in the Chilean Patagonia, has been releasing ash since its eruption last June 4th and as a result of strong southerly winds, the ash cloud keeps being swept into the Buenos Aires airspace.
