As reported by our partner media in Brazil, AEROIN, the concessionaire of Navegantes airport, CCR Aeroportos, highlighted that this route will not only allow a comfortable and fast access to Argentine tourists, but will also make it easier for the inhabitants of northern Santa Catarina to visit the Argentine capital or other destinations such as Mendoza, Ushuaia, El Calafate, Córdoba, Salta and Puerto Iguazú thanks to the code-sharing agreement it has with Aerolíneas Argentinas.
