Aerolíneas Argentinas Airlines
Aerolíneas
Argentinas , is Argentina's largest domestic and international
airline. It is the national airline and carries around 80% of
Argentina's domestic traffic and 40% of international flights from
Ministro Pistarini International Airport, which is located in
Ezeiza, Buenos Aires. Aerolíneas Argentinas and LAN Airlines
are the only Latin American airlines that fly to Oceania.
The airline's history can be traced back to the year 1929, when carrier Aeroposta started operations. The Argentine government, recognizing Argentina's vast geographic size and the need for fast transportation links between the countryside and the larger cities, established an airline company to carry passengers and mail. In 1990 the airline was sold by the Argentine government to the Spanish state-owned company Iberia as part of president Carlos Menem's massive privatization program.
Aerolíneas merged with Argentina's domestic carrier Austral. By the late 1990s the airline was near bankruptcy. The Spanish government tried to sell its controlling share to American Airlines but the offer was declined.In 2002 the airline came out of administration after a Buenos Aires judge accepted its debt restructuring agreement with creditors.An expansion plan in 2004 included the creation of subsidiaries in Chile, Uruguay, and Bolivia, as well as a hub at Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport in San Juan, Puerto Rico, which would allow the airline to become one of the biggest groups in Latin America. Aerolíneas Argentinas is also a major sponsor of the Argentina national football team.
Aerolíneas Argentinas Airlines has regular flights to following destinations across the world.
