Sociedad Uruguaya de Aviación is Uruguays upcoming privately owned new flag carrier. Uruguay has not had it's own flag carrier for over a decade, since PLUNA ceased their operations in 2012. The country currently doesn't have a commercial airline based in their country, so this will be a huge step in aviation for the country of Uruguay.
They are looking to launch in Summer 2024 earliest, and will be operating an Airbus only fleet. They'll have their base at the Carrasco International Airport (MVD), which is the main airport serving Uruguay and located just outside the capital, Montevido. On initial launch they will begin connecting Montevido, to neighbouring Latin America countries.
