Ezeiza, Aeroparque airports slowly resume services

Over twenty domestic and international flights from Aerolíneas Argentinas and Austral were cancelled or delayed on Tuesday at Ezeiza and Aeroparque international terminals due to the presence of an ash cloud coming from the Chilean Puyehue volcano.

By 9 am, six flights had been cancelled and 18 others had been delayed at the Aeroparque airport. 

The airline’s decision to call off the flights created uncertainty among passengers, and some of them were visibly upset since other airlines were still operating normally despite the ash cloud. 

By noon, weather conditions slowly began to improve, which allowed the Aeroparque airport to operate normally.

According to the Aeropuertos Argentina 2000 website, flights bound for Sao Paulo, Iguazú, Santiago, Montevideo, Mendoza and Mar del Plata were all cancelled this morning. 

The flights delayed by the airline were bound for Neuquén, Río Grande, Ushuaia, Salta, Tucumán, Córdoba, Comodoro Rivadavia, San Juan, Córdoba, Mendoza, Posadas and Formosa.

At the same time, at the Ezeiza airport, the airline decided to cancel flights bound for Lima, Iguazú and delayed flights bound for Rome, Caracas, Ushuaia, Asunción and Santiago.
