Cartagena, Colombia, Will Have Direct Flights to Buenos Aires, Argentina

Cartagena, Colombia will commence direct flights to Buenos Aires, Argentina in November 2026, with Avianca being the first airline to launch the service. Aerolineas Argentinas will join the route beginning January 1, 2027, with five weekly flights. The journey typically takes around 7 hours and 5 minutes, depending on operating conditions and the specific flight.

This nonstop connection eliminates the need for travelers to connect in Bogota, Medellin, or other regional airports. The new service represents a significant opportunity for Cartagena, one of Colombia's top tourist destinations. Argentine visitors will find it easier to reach the Colombian Caribbean, while residents of the region will benefit from a more convenient option to travel to Argentina.

The arrival of both airlines will provide regular direct air service, expanding travel options between the two destinations. For the Colombian airline, the route is part of its expansion strategy in the Caribbean, while Aerolineas Argentinas aims to establish a direct connection between Buenos Aires and Cartagena as part of its growth plans.

The new connection could be particularly important during vacation periods and high-demand dates, when interest in Caribbean destinations rises among South American travelers. This development could boost Cartagena's tourism industry, benefiting hotels, restaurants, tour operators, transportation companies, and other tourism-related businesses.
