President Mauricio Macri says his administration has taken up the "challenge" of connecting Argentina's airspace to enhance tourism.

"This is a very big country and its levels of disconnection are unimaginable," Macri said.

During a ceremony for the Cordoba airport renovations, the president said neighbouring countries had three times more flights per capita than Argentina.

Creating "physical" and "virtual" connections around the country is a primary goal of the administration, along with improving transportation infrastructure and expanding satellite communications, in order to boost domestic tourism, Macri said.

The projects in Cordoba are part of creating an "increasingly modern" and international network of airports, the president said.

While US airlines are impatient to resume services to Cuba (FedEx has been granted the only full-cargo operations), Aerolineas Argentinas continues to cut is network there. It ended its Buenos Aires–Caracas–Havana service on 31 July 2016. The Venezuelan capital, which was only a technical stopover on the route, served by Boeing B737-800s (pictured), is also served twice a week by a dedicated flight from Buenos Aires.
