The company to pick up the baton from Pluna as Uruguay's flag airline was launched Tuesday during a press conference at Montevideo's Carrasco International Airport. SUA (Sociedad Uruguaya de Aviación) intends to position the air terminal as a regional logistics hub by reducing flight times and costs to destinations in Mercosur and Chile, it was explained.
The company willing to pick up Pluna's legacy as Uruguay's flag carrier will be making a series of announcements next week at Montevideo's Carrasco International Airport, just one year after revealing its plans. SUA (Sociedad Uruguaya de Aviación) is to start operations through a wet lease of airBaltic Airbus A220 aircraft, thus becoming the first airline in Latin America and the Caribbean to choose the Canadian-built narrow-body twin jet.
