New York City, 12 November, 2006-
Excel's recent drive to focus more on regional destinations throughout the globe has prompted the induction of Montevideo based PLUNA, into the alliance as anaffiliate of Aerolineas Argentinas. PLUNA has been Uruguay's national carrier for decades, and has recently restructured itself to be a regional carrier focusing on the South of the American continent. From its bases at Montevideo and Punta del Este, PLUNA has put renewed focus on the region surrounding Uruguay, especially after a large investment from Aerolineas Argentinas, in neighboring Argentina. Excel is said to be looking into expanding its Central and South American coverage.
