BA edges closer to Sydney

Argentina’s national carrier Aerolineas Argentinas commenced its three times weekly nonstop service between Buenos Aires and Sydney yesterday, replacing its previous service which travelled via Auckland.

The new service will depart Sydney on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.

“This new service will cut at least three hours of travelling time,” Sydney Airport chief executive Kerrie Mather said.

Meanwhile, Destination NSW chief executive Sandra Chipchase said the move would raise Sydney’s profile in South America as it made travel between the two destinations easier.

“The introduction of Aerolineas Argentinas’ new non-stop service confirms Sydney’s position as Australia’s premier destination, and is a sign of Sydney’s appeal and global reputation as a exciting and beautiful lifestyle city,” she said.

The tourism body will work closely with the airline to promote Sydney in Argentina and Brazil over the coming months, she added.
