Cartagena, Colombia will soon offer direct flights to Buenos Aires, Argentina, starting in November 2026. Avianca is set to launch the new route, with up to seven weekly flights during the initial season. Aerolineas Argentinas will join the connection in January 2027, offering five weekly flights.
The approximately 7-hour and 5-minute nonstop journey will eliminate the need for connecting flights through Bogota, Medellin or other regional airports. This direct link represents an important opportunity for Cartagena, one of Colombia's top tourist destinations. Nonstop flights will make it easier for Argentine visitors to reach Colombia's Caribbean coast and provide local residents with a more convenient way to travel to Argentina.
The new route will be particularly beneficial during peak tourist seasons in Cartagena. The city's attractions include its historic center, Caribbean beaches, diverse cuisine, and extensive hotel infrastructure. Aerolineas Argentinas will expand its Caribbean network by adding Cartagena to its roster of destinations.
The new direct air service is expected to boost Cartagena's tourism industry by reducing travel time and travel costs, potentially increasing interest from Argentine tourists. While the full impact will depend on various factors, the addition of a direct flight connection is expected to benefit Cartagena's economy.
