Air Damascus opens its doors at Campo Hotel Nono Luigi with suites built inside recycled aircraft in the heart of the rural area
Compartir:
This Tuesday, July 9, the Air Damasco complex reopens in Córdoba, located in the town of Oncativo. The proposal combines themed tourism and architectural innovation. The project was developed without government funding and with private investment from Córdoba businessman Oscar “Pupi” Scorza.
The hotel consists of two commercial airliners converted into luxury suites. Each aircraft offers eight rooms with a jacuzzi, smart bathroom, and balconies. The units are connected by access walkways similar to those used in commercial airports.
The goal of the project is to boost tourism in the province's interior and restore the region's heritage value. The cabins have been adapted with reading rooms and museum spaces featuring pieces of historic aviation. The initiative is part of a global trend of converting means of transportation into tourist spaces.
La inauguración será el 9 de julio a las 18hs.
Air Damasco: a unique proposal in the country
The complex is part of Campo Hotel Nono Luigi, which already operates as a rural accommodation in Oncativo. According to Scorza, “there is no similar proposal in the country, and there are very few in the world.” The project aims to establish itself as a key point in the central Córdoba tourist circuit.
The businessman explained that it is “a way to energize the local economy without depending on the government.” The hotel targets visitors seeking unique experiences in contact with the natural environment. The inauguration ceremony will take place this Tuesday, July 9, at 6:00 p.m. at the hotel grounds.

Private investment, local employment, and Córdoba pride
Scorza is also the owner of Econovo, an industrial company based in Oncativo dedicated to machinery for urban sanitation. In 2022, he had already converted an airplane into a nightclub on the same property. That experience attracted attention due to the logistical operation required to transport the aircraft from Córdoba Airport.
The new project was completed without government interference, showing that the private sector can generate impact. The aircraft were adapted in local workshops and created genuine jobs. The model combines innovation, creativity, regional identity, and real economic development.
The reopening of the Air Damasco complex is concrete proof of what can be achieved with determination and effort. While many municipalities suffocate entrepreneurs with taxes, others see investment grow without subsidies. Córdoba needs fewer obstacles and more initiatives like this one.
