This is a developing story..... the first "news" was indeed an opening date of November 1st, but, the lastest reports issued today (9/21) are saying that the Government plans to implement an accelerated re-opening with the first batch of tourists from "select countries" being allowed to enter the Country starting OCTOBER 1st.

No details out yet, but I will come back to report more as soon as I can confirm additional "fine print". Something would need to be published in the Official Gazette to be 100% formalized... this should happen in the next couple of days - if this is going to be implemented as has been leaked to the press. Needless to say, this is only the first step and the next would be for the ANAC (the Argentine FAA) to stop messing around with the Foreign Airlines and finally allow them to return back to normal operational schedules. American wants to bring back 4 of its 5 pre-existing flights (LAX will not be coming back anytime soon), but they are desperate to get back their 2nd daily MIA frequency and also get daily rights to operate DFW and JFK.

Not sure what DL and UA are up to - but I would assume that they would al least want to get back their daily (ATL & IAH) flights sometime in the near future....

Stay Tuned.......
