Jul 25th, 2013 - 08:50 am - Link - Report abuse 0Those 330-200's suck for that long flight. Any rate, they do own their own fleet, but they must be leased coming into the USA, they can't be that stupid......or can they?

If reports are correct they bought 2 737-700s but all their other aircraft are leased.
Anyway pretty much every airline in the world has leased aircraft, maybe not in the same ratio but it makes better business sense to have some of the fleet leased.
JFK should make sure that all fuel is paid for up front
Jul 25th, 2013 - 09:58 am - Link - Report abuse 0KFC is running out of Botox and crack filler, and Gollum is always dribbling on his shirts, they can't use Tango to visit NYC to stock up, hence the flights in leased aircraft. Question is, who is going to give them a fuel account?

I heard they were about to lose landing right in the USA to poor equipment maintenance.
Jul 25th, 2013 - 11:57 am - Link - Report abuse 0I wouldn't fly Aerolineas for any reason.
Is this resumption just for the prestige? So BsAs can have a flight into the world's most premier city?
Jul 25th, 2013 - 11:58 am - Link - Report abuse 0Aerolineas doesn't make money. And with decisions like this it isn't surprising. It would have been better to fly in and out of Bogotá and used itas a hub to spoke out to several northern destinations. I think El Dorado is the largest airfield in South America and the airport is undergoing a massive expansion and modernisation.
Aerolineas has flights out of Sydney that are extremely cheap but I still haven't decided to fly via BsAs or instead go via LAX when I visit Colombia next year.
Doesn't Aerolineas have the oldest long haul fight fleet in the world?
Jul 25th, 2013 - 12:55 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Gads what happened to all the U$ thrown down that rat hole?
The apathy and stupidity of Rgs to allow this to go on for years/decades is sickening.
@12. JFK is their skyteam partner's hub (Delta). Bogata, not so much. From JFK a passenger can jump to lots of northern hemisphere, esp european, major cities using skyteam codeshares and landing at their other major airport in Atlanta is just.... Ugh... And JFK has more glamour as a destination anyway even if Atlanta didn't suck.
Jul 25th, 2013 - 01:08 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@12 Fly Qantas direct to Santiago then up on LAN. LAN also fly the route but you need to stop in Auckland. I've done it and it's a great flight. Probably quicker than via LAX?

Isn't that his “democratic” right? As it happens, Aerolineas has a pretty good safety record. Although it has to be asked how many of its aircraft actually get off the ground? Answer this. If an airline has 100 flights and has 1 “accident”, is it “better” than an airline that has 100,000 flights and has 10 “accidents”. Book me on the airline with 1 “accident” per 10,000 flights.

Jul 25th, 2013 - 06:08 pm - Link - Report abuse 0And don't' worry about Boeing the 500+ they have on backorder will keep them going for a very long time.
They'll do just fine.
I believe the reason that Aerolineas has to resume flights to New York, is due to the fact that the Mad Bitch & Gollum cannot use the private jets any more with settling their overdue bills for previous flights.
Jul 25th, 2013 - 06:16 pm - Link - Report abuse 0It would be terribly embarrassing if they failed to turn up at the meetings for the C24 committee because they couldn't arrange the flights. Even more embarrassing if they used Tango 1 and it was impounded. Instead, they are probably planning to run up a huge bill for fuel at JFK (which they will fail to pay), to get the Americns to subsidise their airline.
If the Americans have any sense, they will carry out a thorough safety check on all Aerolineas flights and if any of the aircraft fail in any way at all, impound them until the fuel bills are settled. If the lease company then fails to receive their payments, they can come and pick up their jets at JFK, after they pay the bills and the parking fees.
30. They're required to pay in U$ cash for their gas and expenses at all US Airports, bags of cash.

The one and only time I was on AR was to go from BA to Bariloche, they lost the autopilot and as we were going over mountains the plane went banked up and down really fast. The guy in front of me turned white and was shaking so bad he couldn't get off the plane when we landed.
Never again
Terrible pilots and terrible terrible old planes.
No thanks
It is not just yankeeboy who doesn't want to fly AR.
Jul 25th, 2013 - 08:14 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Argies don't fly AR if there is an option. On domestic RG routes that are covered by LAN and AR, the LAN flights fill up way in advance, even if they are given a 4am take off slot.
Boeing, in my judgement, made an error with the Dreamliner and I think they won't make quite the same error again.
Jul 25th, 2013 - 08:20 pm - Link - Report abuse 0ALL the designs of Boeing planes up to the Dreamliner were done in-house and the component drawings were passed to approved suppliers for manufacture, type tested, production controlled and then put in to assembly.
Because the Dreamliner has more plastics fabrications in it (something private plane builders have been doing for at least 15 years) Boeing decided that the fabricators were the people to design their units to boundary drawings and performance specifications: loading, temperature range, etc.
The battery system and its local harness was of course one such ‘component’. It passed all the prescribed performance tests and was accepted.
The warning beacon was not a design specially made for the Dreamliner but was selected from a standard, FAA approved manufacturers range. Guess what? Over 100,000 units are in the process of being traced to check for the fault that set the Dreamliner on fire. NOT Boeings problem.
Will the Dreamliner have other problems in the coming few years, perhaps, but they won’t be life threatening. Will Boeing revert to doing all the design work themselves, I am not sure but will most probably introduce a closer design ‘reference’ to their suppliers.
The automobile industry has been doing this for decades, including design updates, but of course cars, even with the seriously berserk drivers of The Dark Country, don’t fly, well not very far anyway.
The Dreamliner has many innovative features. The fires were unexpected and luckily no harm was done. Looking back to the Comet and its square windows which propagated fatigue cracks, faults with groundbreaking new concepts are nothing new. Each incident results in improvements. Boeing make fine aircraft. You are much more at risk flying on an airline originating in a failing country like RGland. Money is tight, corners will be cut, Any airline in a country slipping back into the third world should be avoided.

Jul 26th, 2013 - 03:36 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I thought of flying via Chile last time but it isn't cheap. I can fly via LAX to Bogotá all up for about A$1,800 if there is a sale on to LAX. A$1,800 is the lowest fare to Chile and so,stokes it is almost a thousand higher. Then there's the LAN connection which goes via Lima.
My Colombian flatmate flew via Dubai, Brazil and Argentina with Emirates and it was still cheaper than Qantas to Chile.
If I wasn't going to squeeze this trip into my mid year uni break then is spend a couple of weeks in Chile, then Argentina, maybe Uruguay and also Peru. But with not 6 weeks I'd prefer to spend it with my extended Colombian family.
@46 Gordo1
Having been to all those cities (lived on one and been to the others all more than once), I would put London and New York in the same league. Paris is close but no equivalent. And Rome doesn't compare.
But if you had to rank I'd still say that NYC is just that cut above London. Just. And to the elite in Argentina it is probably everything they aspire to or glamourise.
Otherwise why the hell are hey restarting these flights? Nothing but prestige.
Nice to see Nostrils who has never left his country telling us all about how those that have should travel. Like a 6 year old telling his parents where babies really come from.

Los Sauces Casa Patagonica Hotel in Argentina is one of the most awful hotels I have ever experienced. Overpriced, food low quality and mostly rotten, spoiled fish, old meat. Dirty sheets, rude untrained staff. Too expensive for the services charge, jacuzzis are out of service, lousy staff, locals dislike the property as been taken away by political force from the locals. The staff will not provide a umbrella on a rainy day in order to get to the spa. Activites all very expensive and extra charge, broken and dirty beds, bathroom unclean, stained old dirty towels, bad smell in room. If you complain they get angry and threaten you by saying the president of Argentina owns this hotel. Avoid this dump it is very disgusting and overpriced.
Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner corrupt and creepy old woman is president of Argentina. Her
husband, Néstor Kirchner, was the president before her, in 2003 and then she became the
president after him. She is one of the most corrupt politicians ever to rule Argentina. She
is nothing more than an arrogant, low down crook who steals from Argentina´s treasury and
the people of Argentina. When she gives speeches, she throws around numbers and statistics

Jul 27th, 2013 - 08:07 pm - Link - Report abuse 01) Her personal wealth, in the time she has been president, has increased from less than
$1, 000, 000 US Dollars to $50, 000, 000 US Dollars.
2) She and her husband, who supposedly died on October 26th, 2010, took federally owned land
and created deeds for them, of course to themselves and their fake holding company (Los
Sauces, SA is the name of the company). They then re-sold these federally owned lands in
the south of Argentina for millions of dollars and of course, kept the money all for
themselves.
3) Her husband supposedly died on October 26th, 2010 and of course she played the black
widow, however they would not open the coffin. Every public official who has died in
Argentina, has had an open coffin, and of course Kretina wouldn't allow this.
4) The taxes in Argentina are some of the highest in the world, yet the people here earn
miserably low salaries, sales tax 21% on EVERYTHING, goods, services, even RENT!
5) Any profit you may make, the government takes 35% of that too! And the 1.2% check tax,
every retail sale in Argentina is taxed additionally 1.2% if you pay by check or credit
card.
6) The bribes, and money under the table you have to pay to her government to get ANYTHING
done in Argentina is unbelieveable. If you are sick or need to be operated, even if you
have the supposedly “free” health insurance, if you don't slip some money to the director of
the hospital, you get put to the side. The hospitals take in huge amounts of money, but it

hospitals to keep them going and pay miserably low salaries to the doctors and other staff.
DESTROYING SOME MYTHS.
Jul 27th, 2013 - 10:20 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I don't pretend people in this forum to think like me, because this is evident that we have very deep ideological differences. However, if i insist on making comments here,is because i have always wanted to tell about the omissions that most press in our country commits, every time it refers to argentina, in relation to different issues.
Aerolineas is of the main triggers of many mediatic operations, in fact our most important newspapers (clarin, la anción and perfil) often emphasize in the deficit that the airline still has, but they usually omit that after the renationalization, it has diminished from 945 millions in 2008, to 240 millions, beside, it's forecasted that in two years, the company will start to have surplus.
Beside, they omit also the fact that it could recover many of the destinies that it had lost during the years of private administration, which took the enterprice to the bankarroupty.
On the other hand, those newspapers usually omit that aerolineas is the only one airline which keeps the whole country united, due to it travels not only to profitable places, like private companies do, but it travels to the whole country, because it complies with a social function.
Beside, in 2008, aerolineas transported over 5 millions of people, and now it transports over 8 millions of people.
It was published today an interview to mariano recalde, in pagina12, where you can check everything i say in this comment, and much more about aerolineas, www.pagina12.com.ar
On the other hand, the fact of being a detractor of c. f. k's policies, doesn't justify the misserable comparisons that many people in this forum often make, in order to show once and again how much they hate c. f. k. and us. If they are so detractors of kirchnerism, they don't need to insult, because it's tipicall of mediocre people, what they should do, is to propose ideas.

Axel, you are wrong again and you miss the point, again.
“to show once and again how much they hate c. f. k. and us. ”
CFk's “detractors” are pointing out the lies CFK and her “Kirchnerites” are issuing. They blame us ( Falklanders, UK, US, IMF, their SA neighbours, etc., for the problems that Argentina has with its economy, industries, and infrastructure.
Your country owes $100b US that it borrowed and cannot/will not pay it back. They somehow blame that on us, the people who lent them the money for industrial development and infrastructure.
Guess what? No development, no infrastructure, and no money!
Where did it go?
Cristina somehow accumulated $50m USD, a new Tango- 1 Jet and her ministers are doing well too.
Obviously, your government is not telling the truth and refuses to be held accountable.
There is no unreasonable “hate” from us.
We “CFK Detractors” are defending ourselves from your lies against us.
“how much they hate c. f. k. and us. ”
WHO is “us”????
When you say “us”, you must mean CFK's Ministers and Officials, Propagandists and Trolls ( like yourself), all those who live like corrupt parasites off of public money and the pensions of private citizens.
We certainly have no “hate” for the Argentine public.
But YOU Kirchnerists do!
BTW,
CFK et al, have a sworn duty to the people, to govern Argentina honestly and conscientiously. That is THEIR job.
If we see that they are corrupt, mismanaging the economy, or stealing, it is OUR duty to point it out when we witness injustice.
It is not conditional on having a “solution” or “suggestion” before we speak!
TROY TOMPEST.
Jul 27th, 2013 - 11:38 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I must recognize that i feel so frustrated every time i see that such reactionary people like you answer my comments, i don't have any problem in talking to people who are detractors of kirchnerism, but your problem, and the problem of some other people, is the lack of respect, that's why discussing with people like you doesn't have any sense.
Anyway, what you consider like critics, are based on distorted information or in too partial analysis, in fact, many of those detractors usually date reports published in clarin and la nación, which have a great push of power with c. f. k's govt., and most what they publish are just mediatic operations. You don't need to be a kirchnerist in order to realize that those newspapers are not realiable, in fact, i'm sure that not even their readers believe in clarin and la nación, however if they date the reports published in those newspapers, is because they say what detractors want to hear. Anyway, beyond operations, facts will always be sacred, that's why i recognize not just that c. f. k's government has negative aspects, but i can also recognize that those newspapers aren't reliable.
On the other hand, i dont' think you are neather a parasite nor a propagandistic.
When i say us, i mean argentine people. Maybe i'm wrong with what i said, but what is really evident and pathetic, is that detractors can't never propose any idea in order to solve the problems of the country, the only one thing they do, is to insult c. f. k., or make too partial analysis based on mediatic operations mostly.
For example, if you propose ideas, tell me what do you think that we should do in order to lower the inflation level without prejudicing our industrial productions, what should we do in order to have a better airline like aerolineas. Now you and all the rest of detractors have the chance of proposing ideas without insulting, and without making the usuall misserable comparisons that they often do.
Now it's your turn.
Troy I will never forget my one and only time I flew them from Newbery to Iguazu, the seat back broke. I was on the knees of the person behind me most of the flight. The return trip, the seat was loose to the floor mount. Now if we were to crash it would hardly make a difference, but a hard landing and I would have been mush.

I have two suggestions, let's see you implement them.
1) Get rid of your government corruption, the politicians like CFK who pocket public money instead of putting it into Industrial Development, Infrastructure, healthcare etc.
2) Turf out the incompetent La Campora thigs and crooks you have tunning your airline and “Nationalised” industries.
There you go - get back to me after you give it a try.

Wait a few years to see the Embraer jets fall apart because they are being misused. They're built for 2hr or less flight and not at all suited to the geography of Argentina.

Ha ha ha!!!!!
Axel,
It seems that @64 your myths have some staying power!!
La Campora are an inept clueless bunch of clowns when it comes to running a national airline with seemingly limitless subsidies!
How much does Maximo pocket for himself and his cronies???
Perhaps if they used actual educated airline professionals to run it as a business it would work. Instead, it is a cover to fork over money to CFK supporters.
7 through 9 of 11:
Jul 28th, 2013 - 04:08 pm - Link - Report abuse 07) Cristina's children, Florencia Kirchner a/k/a Florkey, Flor, and Maximo Kirchner are
heavily involved in her corruption. Florencia lived in New York studying film production as
a student, but lived in a luxury park avenue apartment. Some of us who knew her in New York
used to listen to Florkey brag about all of her parent's money how the common folk in
Argentina are garbage and how her parents became millionaires stealing the country´s money.
And we saw Florencia Kirchner put plenty of cocaine up her nose at parties in New York, and
it's easy for her to get since her family is also involved in the drug trade. Maximo
Kirchner owns a string of hotels in the south of Argentina and takes in millions of dollars
per year. They are both involved with nationalist terrorist groups called “La Campora” and
“Quebracho”. That go around the country stealing money, bribing, threatening legitimate
businesses, shaking down companies for money, expropiating and nationalizing public and
private property all to keep for themselves. Florencia Kirchner is one of the ugliest
females in all of the Americas and Maximo Kirchner is one of the ugliest males. Their
physical looks mirror their ugly and crooked human souls. Maximo Kirchner's girlfriend Maria
Rocio Garcia is a dentist known for many malpractice lawsuits.
8) They claim they do things for the good of the 40 million Argentine people, they are
nothing but crooks.
9) Cristina Kirchner is threatening war on England to take back the Falkland islands, and
promote nationalism, when all she is doing is trying to distract the citizens of Argentina
from her miserable stealing and looting of public funds and disaster of a goverment
including her vice president drug dealing Amado Boudou.

Very interesting background information, obviously from an 'insider'!
I hope you don't mind me quoting your comments, I plan to do so quite a bit.
Conclusion:
Jul 28th, 2013 - 06:54 pm - Link - Report abuse 010) Cristina and her supposedly dead husband Nestor Kirchner were part of a national
terrorist and extorsionist group called “Montoneros” when they were young adults.
11) Cristina Kirchner is supposedly a lawyer, however no educational institution in
Argentina con produce a college degree with her name on it and a law degree, it simply
doesn't exist.
ARGENTINA IS THE COUNTRY WITH THE MOST CORRUPT ADMINISTRATION KIRCHNER THE PEOPLE ARE SUFFERING THE GOVERNMENT IS A GROUP OF CROOKS AND STEAL ALL OF THE PUBLIC FUNDS AND PROMOTE NARCO AND TERRORIST ACTIVITY WE HOPE THE WORLD IS LISTENING.
Argentina is being run by terrorist organizations financed by the president Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, and the late Hugh Chavez was supplying the arms and ammunition. They are secretly preparing for a war against Chile, North America and the UK. Why do you think they made alliances with Iran, Syria and other well known terrorist states. They want a several MK54's. There terrorist organizations are called Quebracho, Montoneros (Cristina and her security minister, Nilda Garre were Montoneros). They shake businesses down for money, steal from the country's treasury and accepted drug money from Hugo Chavez the former dictator of Venezuela. Cut all ties to Argentina don't do any business, its a narco country, run by gangs and corruption! The UN must take Argentina to task before she get's MK54's. Be mindful that North Korea does have bi-lateral relations with the major states of Mercosur.
More will follow as I can. Make sure you vote for Massa, he is the start of change.
Also, as the world laughs at Kirchner, she quietly lays plans to forcibly take the islands and she does have surprise on her side to a degree. The UK knows this. They do not patrol this region for no reason. Watch Brazil, Venezuela and Argentina. The facade of disharmony works.

Jul 28th, 2013 - 09:06 pm - Link - Report abuse 0As a clone I thought you showed some promise over the original idiot with that tag until your penultimate and final sentences.
Brazil is trying to get into the modern world; acting in concert with the two idiots of SA in a fighting war against the Falklands would be suicide for them politically.
On the other hand the two idiotic countries couldn’t fight my dog without having their arses ripped out of their trousers.
The Dark Country has NO military because TMBOA is shit scared of a coup and Venezuela has some nice gear but no way to get down to the Falklands without having it taken out of the sky on the way down there.
Such actions would open the way for Britain to destroy some of the mainland of The Dark Country and they know it. TMBOA may (sorry) IS barking but she is also a coward, like the rest of the argies.

Jul 28th, 2013 - 11:39 pm - Link - Report abuse 0“Watch Brazil, Venezuela and Argentina”
Brazil would not risk trade with the UK by joining in a war with the Falklands.
Brazil is a long way from the Falklands, therefore it either uses it's Navy out of theatre, which would be target practice for our subs.
Or perhaps Brazil and Venezuela could base their aircraft in Argentina.
As Chris R @70 points out“;Such actions would open the way for Britain to destroy some of the mainland”.
No aircraft from Venezuela or Brazil could continue to operate from Argentine runways blitzed by either the RN or the RAF.
And there's four or five which if taken out would be financially impossible for Argentina to rebuild.
If you think that Brazilian/Venezuelan troops fancy mixing it with the Brits, battle hardened from Afghanistan, in a climate not familiar with either of those countries, you are mistaken as they will be taken out as soon as they dare park their asses on the islands.
Venezuela can't get its army to its own border with Colombia I can't see how they think they'll get to Argentina.
