From mid-December Alitalia will return to regular connections, on a weekly basis, with Brazil and Argentina, reactivating the Rome-Sao Paulo and Rome-Buenos Aires flights.This is also good news for air freight shipments as the Boeing 777-200ER used on the routes offer a cargo capacity of 20 tons (80 cubic meters of space).

In detail, the connection with Sao Paulo will restart from 15 December and will be operated once a week (departing from Fiumicino every Tuesday and from Guarulhos airport every Thursday). Four days later, or December 19, it will be the turn of the service with Argentina. The flight will depart from Fiumicino at 21.50 to land in Buenos Aires-Ezeiza at 8 am (local time) the following day and will then depart from Rome every Saturday and from Buenos Aires on Monday.

Alitalia’s non-stop connections from Rome to Buenos Aires and São Paulo were suspended in March and April respectively due to the pandemic.
