Dubai offers an unparalleled combination of luxury, adventure, and cultural discovery, making it one of the most exciting destinations for Argentine travelers. With direct flights from Buenos Aires via Emirates, Dubai is not just a destination: it is a gateway to new experiences, offering the perfect blend of luxury, culture, and excitement.
The airline Emirates is strengthening its operations in Argentina, with the confirmation of daily flights between Dubai and Buenos Aires, with a stopover in Rio de Janeiro. The seven weekly services have been in effect since October, increasing capacity on the route by 40%, offering seamless connectivity to and from key destinations, thus responding to the strong demand for leisure and corporate travel from and to Argentina to destinations in the Far and Middle East.
It was highlighted that the new daily operation also benefits passengers who choose to travel from Buenos Aires to Rio de Janeiro, as the company sells tickets between these points. "The increase in frequencies gives travelers more flexibility and better connections when planning their trips. Layovers, in turn, represent an added value for those who combine business and leisure and continue on to other destinations," said Thierry.
Growing demand for the Far and Middle East
"In the last year, passenger demand from Argentina has grown exponentially, driven by the increase in bookings to the Far East, which are growing at double-digit rates. We have expanded our network in Vietnam (Da Nang) and Cambodia (Siem Reap) that are not just destinations: they are immersive journeys of culture and luxury, offering Argentine travelers a unique combination of authenticity and sophistication in one of the world's most captivating regions," said Thierry. He also detailed that this upward trend was also reflected in the Middle East market, which experienced strong annual growth.
"This growth is mainly driven by leisure travel to Asian destinations such as Japan. With China being Argentina's second trading partner and the addition of our two recent services from Dubai to Hangzhou and Shenzhen, bookings from Buenos Aires are expected to continue to grow. Travelers looking for shopping and glamour will find a paradise in Dubai's world-class shopping malls and traditional souks. Argentine citizens also benefit from visa-free travel to Dubai, which facilitates a simple and hassle-free travel experience. The recent visa-on-arrival program for Argentine citizens, valid until December 31, 2026, is further boosting these travel flows and offers convenient options for travelers visiting Emirates' destinations in China," he said. He also explained that to this is added "the possibility of transporting up to 20 tons of cargo in the hold of each flight, which will also play a role in strengthening trade between the two countries".
