Montevideo's Carrasco airport to fly to 15 destinations in June with 158 weekly flights

Carrasco closed 2025 with 2,144,071 passengers, the best figure in its history

Carrasco International Airport, in the department of Canelones, will operate in June with 11 airlines and a total of 158 weekly frequencies to 15 direct destinations, according to the schedule released by Aeropuertos Uruguay. The program consolidates the regional and international network of the country's main terminal, with Brazil as the fastest-growing market.

The 15 destinations are Madrid, Panama, Asunción, Salto, Rivera, Santiago de Chile, Lima, São Paulo, Buenos Aires, Rio de Janeiro, Bogotá, Recife, Belo Horizonte, Fortaleza and Salvador de Bahía. The operating airlines will be Iberia, Air Europa, Copa, Paranair, Latam, Gol, Aerolíneas Argentinas, JetSmart, Avianca, Azul and Sky.

Toward Europe, the connection is maintained through Madrid: Iberia will operate seven weekly frequencies and Air Europa four. Regionally, Copa Airlines will offer 21 frequencies to Panama —its connecting hub toward North America—, while Latam will add 12 flights to Santiago de Chile, 12 to Lima and 24 to São Paulo, its densest route.

Brazil accounts for much of the offering. In addition to Latam's flights, Gol will have seven weekly frequencies to São Paulo, four to Rio de Janeiro and one to Fortaleza; JetSmart will connect only with Rio de Janeiro, with seven frequencies; Azul will link Montevideo with Recife and Belo Horizonte, with two weekly frequencies to each; and Sky Airline will offer three flights to Rio de Janeiro and two to Salvador de Bahía, plus five to Santiago de Chile.

On the neighboring-country routes, Aerolíneas Argentinas will offer 19 weekly frequencies to Aeroparque, with no operations to Ezeiza International Airport. Avianca will maintain four frequencies to Bogotá. Paranair, meanwhile, will keep building connectivity with Asunción, with 17 weekly frequencies, and reinforcing domestic routes, with three weekly flights to Salto and two to Rivera.

The June schedule builds on a trend of sustained growth. Carrasco closed 2025 with 2,144,071 passengers, the best figure in its history, and January 2026 set a monthly record of 210,430 travelers. Those numbers, together with the expansion of frequencies to Brazil and the maintenance of transatlantic routes, reinforce the Montevideo terminal's role as an air hub in the Southern Cone.
