Aug 20th, 2020 - 10:06 am - Link - Report abuse +2Its they who are throwing Humanitarian co-operation out the window.
Mr Kent HM's Ambassador should look at this, and here is the reciprocity of Argentina for allowing them to fly their flag on the Falklands!
Aug 20th, 2020 - 10:27 am - Link - Report abuse 0See it Mr. Kent.. where did our generosity get us?
They don't want more they are demanding it you fool!
Humanitarian means absolutely nothing to Argentina. When you can make disappear more than twenty thousand of your own people and remove an indigenous people to acquire land proves they do not care for humanity.
Aug 20th, 2020 - 10:30 am - Link - Report abuse +2What they care for is human greed that is a major part of their history.
Denying the right for stranded fisherman to get back to their countries because of a world pandemic is the lowest of the low of a government who has no interest in humanity.
One day the rest of the world will wake up to the fact that Argentina is not the free loving country it portrays itself to be but one of aggression and no compassion for others.
They even try to control their neighbouring countries when they are attempting to show humanitarian and business relations with Falkland Islanders.
Argentina is a rogue land grabbing country who thinks they can get everything they want using foul means.
The Falkland islands people know this and will continue to operate their economy how they please and simply go round this dictator.
The one thing the islanders have that Argentina does not is a healthy reserve so using more expensive options is feasible and Argentina who is 65 billion in debt is struggling to stay afloat.
Argentina has a habit of cutting off it's own nose to spite its face.
Terrorism never pays and one day Argentina will feel the might of the rest if the world you can count on that.
Argentina- the country that gave thousands of Nazis sanctuary, time for FIG to stop any Argentines visiting the islands, sounds harsh but you reap what you sow,

Aug 20th, 2020 - 11:56 am - Link - Report abuse 0As I understand it the relatives were allowed to hold a flag “chest high”, which had to be a standard flag, no pictures of Islands on it.
Which allowed them their moment, and cost you nothing, just reminded them you decide on flags, not them.
Judge Jose
Then you become as bad as them, the idea here is to be better, the relatives are not responsible for the current situation, they are the victims of the last one, punishment enough really.
Popeyes could have sailed to Montevideo...please dont try to use humanitarian flights to uncover commercial purposes of the illegal fishing activity at south atlantic ocean.

Not that it is a problem for the Aircraft to fly round Argy airspace either.
Goood news day today...
Aug 20th, 2020 - 05:35 pm - Link - Report abuse -41) The new generation of stingy Kelpers administering Malvinas have showed all of us that..., in order to save some pennies in gas money.., they are not only willing to lie about “humanitarian” flights..., but also ready to abandon their elderly in a foreign Dago Country...
2) That Bloody Yank Devil called Steve Bannon has just fallen..., monetarily defrauding them turnips that followed him and his white supremacist Anglo ideals...

The Argentine airspace is made up of the airspace over its territory, including territorial waters, 12 nautical miles wide, in which it exercises full sovereignty, and the airspace over the high seas, this is over the Exclusive Economic Zone and beyond, whose administration has been entrusted to it by the ICAO International Civil Aviation Organization, in which it is only responsible for providing Air Navigation and SAR Services but in which it does not exercise sovereignty. of that international airspace
Aug 20th, 2020 - 05:42 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The route to Ascensión Island crosses that space as does the route to Montevideo, without penetrating sovereign airspace.
Exactly..., Mr. Alfox...
Aug 20th, 2020 - 06:18 pm - Link - Report abuse -3I suppose that..., to be on the safe side..., the Paraguayan Amaszonas Airline requested some extra gas money and some insurance surcharge for any eventual complication that could arise on this chartered service...
But..., some bloody stingy ones in them Islands seem to prefer to lie to their Uruguayan friends and disrespect and misuse the “Humanitarian Transport” concept instead of opening their wallets and putting a couple of extra Pounds on the table...
Capisce...?

Aug 20th, 2020 - 07:07 pm - Link - Report abuse +2Need to correct you on one point.it was not about the money but about the pressure put on by that land grabbing country called Argentina.
Fact is and has been sugested on facebook that Brazil and Uruguay cow down to Argentine demands because they dont want to upset the billions of dollars trade that flows between each other.
That is where the weakness lies not in as you say stingy islanders. We are already saying just pay the extra and have the plane fly around Argentine airspace just to prove that we can do what we like without the bull coming out if that dreadful regime you so love.

A) Those 29 “POOR STRANDED FISHERMEN” ..., as you call them..., can EASILY get back to their countries under the world pandemic...
B) Those 29 “POOR STRANDED FISHERMEN”..., as you call them..., are the crews of the Spanish Lotaidor and the Kiwi/Sta. Elena Argos Froyanes fishing vessels which are..., as I type these lines..., happily sailing & fishing the Malvinas /Falklands waters...
C) The wellbeing and home-transport of those 29 “POOR STRANDED FISHERMEN”..., as you call them..., is the primary responsibility of their respective Fishing Company employers... which I believe have a significant percentage of Kelper ownership...
Soooo..., go whinge to the right place..., Kelper kelperabout...
- Go and bitch at them Kelper Sqidllonaires half-owned fishing companies offices located in downtown Puerto Estanley..., ak them to take responsibility and sail their own employees/citizens with their own ships to their own countries...
Capisce...?
You sure get through a lot of gripe Think.
Aug 20th, 2020 - 09:24 pm - Link - Report abuse +3As it happens most of those stranded folk are from Russia and are they not your allies.
What I do see from your whinging is that you are extremely jealous of how successful we kelpers are.
What is even nicer is that we are over here enjoying the bounty while you are stuck over there in a debt laden country that has nothing to actually do anything about what we do and that is the whole reason why you get so worked up.
Also as we type those humanitarian folk are sailing right up the coast of Argentina in international waters and the best bit is they are heading for Uruguay to connect with the same flights back to their homes.
I am proud to be a falkland islander that shares the same humanitarian feelings that our fishing businesses have towards their people and in deed any other individual that is currently stick because of covid.
Argentina cares little for their own people let alone compassion for foreigners.
So go sit somewhere quietly and have a nice cup of British tea it will soothe away those hatred thoughts.
Then write to the international court of justice and explain to them your feelings about those pesky hard working honest kelpers that did not remove an indigenous people to settle the land.
Then when their ruling is made accept it and stop getting yourself in a frenzy.
Right I now must away and have that nice cup of tea my good lady just made for me. Have a pleasant evening you old war monger.
It does not matter if the flight is humanitarian or not. Unless it enters sovereign airspace, it is a civil aircraft, flying in international airspace administered by Argentina. Does not require permission other than the flight plan.

2) The privilege to land for non-traffic purposes; which she signed on 4 June 1946.

“Kelper Sqidllonaires”, ops, hurt does it, of course it does, suck it up Mate, nothing you can do about it!
It seems the rest of S. America does not share your view, flights continue, Argentina complains, flights continue, what can you say?
It’s almost as if they don’t really listen to Argentina, well not enough to do anything about it.
With Argentina being soooo popular in S. America and all.
Shocker.
I particularly liked the statement, “white supremacist Anglo ideals”, coming from an “Indian Murdering, Thieving, Creole Planter Bastard, Descendant of NogF*ck the F*ckwitt, squatting upon land the native population were ethnically cleansed from”, was priceless.
Perhaps I should explain, “however it is cost effective”, joke, piss take, not meant as a serious comment, need I continue???

You would be a new self-proclaimed researcher and without any doubt inpartial.
go to https://independent.academia.edu and you will publish totally partial garbage that nobody reads
and call FCO and explain your great discovery, they do not know only you.:) jajajaj
In the end, the sailors came back sailing, because some private person tries to disguise a humanitarian flight with a theme that has to be paid for by private parties.

Please tell me just how long those 1970's vintage aircraft will last against the Drones operated by the British, let alone the Typhoons or F35's?

There's no 350 mile limit, nor is there anything over the 12-mile limit, the Falkland Islands Government will not allow Argentina to try and enforce it.

“The request was for transporting a born Islander and a couple of Islands' residents to their homes, following medical attention in the British Hospital in Montevideo. The humanitarian flight had been originally approved by Argentine authorities, but the return became complicated since the Amaszonas aircraft, after delivering the Islanders, was scheduled to fly to Montevideo with some twenty plus fishermen, who worked for the international companies operating in Falklands waters with Falklands licenses, which Argentina strongly rejects.”
El vuelo estaba Ok pero alguien se paso de vivo.
PN & MP You should investigate that private from the islands did not want to pay what they should and made the sailors who hate the sea pass as a humanitarian flight, but for that, there should be independent journalism on the islands.

Aug 22nd, 2020 - 05:42 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The 350 miles is the extent of the seabed claim, makes no difference to freedom of navigation of ships/Aircraft.
12 miles territorial, up to 200 miles EEZ and now an additional seabed claim out to 350 miles.
The UK registered its seabed claim some years before Argentina did, UN will not decide on claims where there is a dispute, they just register them.
Enforcing their claim just isn’t an option for them.
'sans-culotte' (Lol)
So it was covered in the Argy media, you just didn’t see it.
Just type in “Malvinas”, or “Falklands” works just as well, even with the Clarin website.
Not too complicated for you.
For future reference, save you embarrassing yourself again, Clarin covers most of the MalviNazi news.

For me, a problem in the world today is people who can read but do not understand what they read.. Which is your case.
No tengo un problema con vos y claramente sabes leer, el problema es que no comprendes lo que leiste.
the fact that clarin published the note that you looked for does not mean that people in general read it.
