🇸🇻 English Translation From Diario El Salvador:
Interest from More International Airlines
Tourism Minister Morena Valdez announced that an airline will soon begin three weekly flights to Europe.
Minister Valdez stated that there is growing interest from foreign airlines, especially from Europe, in starting operations in El Salvador, a sign that reflects the transformation the country has undergone as a tourist and business destination.
"We will have another flight connecting with Europe. I can't reveal the airline yet. The businessman was in the country, visited El Zonte, loved it, and has already established operations in El Salvador. He told us that his airline will have three weekly flights to Europe, connecting with the Middle East and Asia," Minister Valdez announced during an event hosted by the Salvadoran Chamber of Tourism (Casatur).
The official emphasized that these types of initiatives are important because Europeans spend two to three weeks in the country. "That means more foreign exchange earnings, more income for businesses, and job creation," she added.
The increase in international visitors, the country's ranking in specialized studies and rankings, and the modernization of its airport infrastructure have made El Salvador a strategic hub for new air connections in the region.
Data from the Ministry of Tourism indicates that El Salvador received 2.1 million international visitors between January and May of this year, representing a 33% increase compared to the same period in 2015 and an impressive 111% growth compared to 2019.
