The federal government of Uruguay confirmed to local media that it used
money from a $300 million passenger protection fund to aid stranded
Pluna Lineas Aereas Uruguayas (PU) passengers after the airline was
liquidated earlier this month (ATW Daily News, July 23).
The fund was used to buy tickets through July 15 at TAM Airlines, LAN Airlines, GOL, regional carrier BQB Líneas Aereas and others to fly back passengers from destinations in Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Paraguay.
A spokesperson said the airline is still running a call center telephone line and that a government delegation will visit neighboring countries to motivate airlines to increase their frequencies to Uruguayan destinations.
An auction will be held in September to sell PU’s seven Bombardier aircraft.
