Aerolíneas Argentinas Deploys Special Operation to the U.S. for Soccer World Cup
Aerolíneas Argentinas has confirmed a special air operation on the occasion of the FIFA World Cup, combining dedicated charter flights to accompany the Argentine National Team in the United States with a strategic long-term move: the launch of the direct Cordoba–Miami route, which will continue beyond the sporting event.
The announcement reveals planning that blends operational flexibility, fine-tuned reading of demand, and commercial consolidation, in a context where major sporting events act as catalysts for premium and ethnic traffic.
Special Flights to Kansas and Dallas: Operation Tailored to the Sporting Calendar
The airline has scheduled six special flights to the United States, specifically designed based on the Argentine National Team’s fixture.
Kansas: Two Flights for the World Cup Debut
For the match between Argentina and Algeria, scheduled for June 16, Aerolíneas Argentinas will operate:
- One flight arriving the day before the match
- One flight arriving on the same day as the match
This schedule aims to maximize occupancy and offer alternatives both to passengers seeking an extended experience and to those prioritizing short trips focused solely on the event.

Dallas: Four Flights on Two Key Dates
The city of Dallas will concentrate the majority of the special operation, with four dedicated flights linked to two matches:
- Argentina vs. Austria, on June 22
- Argentina vs. Jordan, on June 27
For each of these matches, the company will replicate the operational scheme:
- One flight arriving the day before
- One flight arriving on the same day as the match
Cordoba–Miami: A Route That Goes Beyond the World Cup
Beyond the immediate circumstances, the structural news in the announcement is the introduction of the direct flight between Cordoba and Miami, a route long demanded by the Argentine interior market.
Key characteristics of the new operation:
Start of operations: June 5
Frequency: 2 weekly flights
Operating days: Fridays and Sundays
Aircraft: Airbus A330
Continuity: The route will remain active as a regular service once the World Cup concludes
This decision reinforces the strategy of decentralizing the international network, expanding connectivity options without having to go through Buenos Aires and capturing corporate, tourist, and VFR (visiting friends and relatives) traffic from the center of the country.
Miami Remains a Strategic Hub from Ezeiza
Parallel to the special operations and the new route from Cordoba, Aerolíneas Argentinas will maintain a robust offering on the Ezeiza–Miami corridor, one of the most relevant in its long-haul network.
- 18 weekly frequencies
- Up to three daily flights
- Daytime and nighttime operations
This level of capacity confirms Miami as a key hub for Argentine traffic to the United States, both for point-to-point demand and for onward connections.
Sales and Strategic Focus
All flights in this special operation will be available through the airline’s website and travel agencies.
From a strategic perspective, the company once again demonstrates an active policy of identifying opportunities associated with major sporting and cultural events, adjusting its operation to specific demand peaks without neglecting the coherence of its regular network.
