30/06/2014
Aruba Airport Authority N.V. (AAA) hereby shares the latest summer 2014 schedule changes for the Latin America market.
Two of our main Airlines will experience changes in schedule that will benefit both the passengers as well as the destination itself.
Copa has announced frequency increase
After some very successful years’ operating in Aruba and strong passengers demand, Copa Airlines announced increase in service between the airline’s Hub of the Americas Tocumen International Airport in Panama city and Aruba from 7 weekly flights to a total of 11 weekly flights.
The 2nd daily flights by Copa will depart from Panama at 12.06 p.m. on Monday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday, arriving in Aruba at 3.06 p.m. Return flights will depart AUA at 7.01 p.m., and arrives in PTY at 20.05 p.m.
The additional 4 flights accounts for a total of 360 additional seats per week, connecting to more than 64 markets worldwide.
These additional flight frequencies between Aruba and Panama City allows us to offer our customers a more complete service and more travel options to main markets such as Brazil (5 daily flights to Panama), Argentina, Chile, Peru, USA, Colombia, Santo Domingo, Mexico, Bolivia, Ecuador and San Salvador.
The first 2nd daily service will arrive on the 3rd of July at 1:00 pm.
After the inaugural flight in December 2013, LAN airlines will also experience some changes in schedule. As per August 1st 2014 LAN Airlines will arrive at 12:30 pm on Wednesdays and 12:25 pm on Sundays instead of the early morning scheduled arrival times. With the change in schedule Aruba will benefit from a greater connectivity in South America connecting to Brazil, Chile and Peru with LAN Airlines.
“We’re very happy that our Latin America airline partners believe in our destination and see the need to provide changes and additions in schedule that will benefit our passengers. Latin America is a valuable market for Aruba Airport and we look forward to many more additions in the future”, said Peter Steinmetz CEO of AAA.
