The connection between the Argentine capital and Salvador expands the offer of international destinations at Salvador Bahia Airport, opening new tourism options for Argentines and Brazilians.
"The resumption of this destination is very important, as it strengthens tourism and the economy within Latin America, valuing the destinations that are nearby. Furthermore, Argentina is the largest market for foreign visitors in Bahia. We expect, with this return, an extra boost in our market ", highlighted Marc Gordien, commercial director of Salvador Bahia Airport.
