Aerolíneas Argentinas is the main airline in the Argentine Republic dedicated to commercial transportation of passengers and loads. Moreover, it is the biggest state-run airline in Latin America. We are going to talk about its origins, fleet, routes and other interesting facts on its roles nowadays.
- Origins
Aerolíneas Argentinas was founded in 1950 as a result of the union of Alfa, Beta and Fama, the leading airlines in the country, which was driven by a decree issued by the then president Juan Domingo Perón. The company was privatized from the middle ‘90s up to 2008, when the companies that formed the Aerolíneas Group were owned by the State again.
During its first years, it added iconic aircraft such as the DC-3 and the Comet IV which inaugurated what is known as the era of the jet, a technological step that reduced flight times to a half. It was a ground-braking company for its use of this type of airplanes as well as direct international flights
