We analyze the scheduled airlines domestic by country in Latin America and we compare it with the number of inhabitants of each one.
This exercise, I must be honest, It is born from the "jealousy" that some countries in the region are having regarding aeronautical development, such as Argentina..
In the short period of 2 years, Argentina went from 3 airlines to 7, which has implied unprecedented growth for the country and also throughout Latin America, where the only beneficiary has been the user with more options and lower prices.
Why is it important to analyze it? It allows us to put the aerial reality of each country into perspective, where, for example, Brazil gains in population, not on airlines, but it has the largest fleet of aircraft in the region.
Each country is a unique case and different from each other., so compare them crudely, it's not right, Therefore, I invite you to reflect, each one with the particular case of your country., watching competition, Destinations, but above all, the cost of airline tickets.

Is there a population/airlines relationship? Not necessarily, since a lot also depends on airport infrastructure, distance between cities, public transport included, economy.

Avianca Argentina stops operating, if he didn't do it already. Regarding quality of service, Norwegian is on top of flybondi. Greetings
Avianca Argentina is supposed to only suspend for 90 days, so in theory he could still live.
Buenas tardes, what is the reason why Uruguay does not have airlines?
There have been several local airlines, but apparently the size of the country as an economy and population are unable to sustain domestic operations.
jetSmart starts soon in Argentina.
Lasa, if I remember correctly, lasted very little., currently looking for partner.
It will be updated as they start operations or close permanently..
Hi, friend, I think you are missing airlines in Venezuela.
Which are domestic regulars?
they are: Turpial Ailines, AeroCaribe, Aeropostal, Stellar, Albatross
AeroCaribe did not know.
And the airline Amaszonas Uruguay. From what I understand it is regular. It has direct flights and a route map, is a subsidiary of the Boliviana as well as Avianca Ecuador. https://www.amaszonas.com/es-uy/
They are only domestic flights. Amaszonas Uruguay only operates international flights.
If you like you can include these airlines in the list of Costa Rica: Sansa, Aerobell Airlines, TAC, Skyway, Costa Rica Green Airways.
Greetings
thank you frank, all are scheduled domestic passenger airlines not charter or air taxi?
I really think that the air traffic of a country is a function of the wealth that it generates, If we see emerging economies or developed and rich countries, we will not necessarily see many airlines, but airports with a lot of traffic and good quality of services.. In Latin America something is demonstrated and if its population is able to buy an air ticket then it contributes to the point that I mention if the airports are at considerable distances or if land transport is not used.
Pluna existed in Uruguay but it collapsed, later Alas Uruguay but the matter has nothing to do with the wealth of the country, rather it is a matter of business competitiveness.
