(DNA). – “It is a decision of the national government, in this case of Aerolíneas Argentinas, to reduce the internal connectivity frequencies in different places in the country. In Río Negro we are harmed by the suspension of the Viedma-Bariloche connection and the decrease in Viedma-Buenos Aires frequencies,” said the Secretary of Tourism of Río Negro, Marcos Barberis, who also pointed out that the efforts are being carried out from the province to recover the frequencies of internal flights and with the federal capital.
Once again, the provincial capital is a victim of the adjustments in terms of air connections, which leave the region isolated while it is not taken into account by other companies to launch an option for new flights, despite the fact that Viedma has maintained a permanent regularity of passengers with flights to Buenos Aires.
Aerolíneas announced that as of the 15th of this month it will suspend the connection with Bariloche and also cut the daily frequency with Aeroparque to four times a week.
The cut, within the framework of the permanent adjustment of the national government, comes in the middle of the debate in the Senate of the Bases Law that, if approved, puts the national flag airline on the list of companies to be privatized.
Barberis reported that efforts are being made and indicated that “we hope to have news” and that flights will be recovered in June, and stated that “in no way do we share this determination of the company. “It is a decision that is made from Buenos Aires, without understanding the logic of the interior of the country.”
“The Bariloche–Viedma section is fundamental, not only from work and family ties, but from tourism, because we have a concept of a tourist circuit, which allows visitors to enter the province through Bariloche and leave through Viedma, or at reverse. In addition, air connectivity is essential during the summer for those who visit the Rio Negro coast, or in the month of August, which is when the marine fauna watching season begins, in Las Grutas,” said the Secretary of Tourism of Río Negro.
