Capisce...?
Think I suspect the truth is that the airline merely notified Arg Air Saftey authorities of the flight as the area down past Argentina and outside territorial waters over this side of the south Atlantic falls under Argentine Search and rescue control - and it would be a bit dumb of any airline not to do so! Same reason Arg well knows the usual flight path of the regular flights from UK to Falklands. Common international safety sense.
Jan 23rd, 2021 - 10:46 am - Link - Report abuse +4I don't think similar rules apply to shipping though and doubt that story - just a silly Arg politician,s fantasy.
And DF's childlike claims of a change in political thinking in Germany are shown up for the sheer fantasy they are. Wonder if he will issue a clarification ??

Jan 23rd, 2021 - 11:36 am - Link - Report abuse +3“A German foreign ministry spokesman said the federal government’s position on the Falkland Islands had not changed.
“The activities of private companies cannot be attributed to the Federal Republic of Germany and have no international consequences,” he said.”
Well that's pretty cut and dried, so you peed your pants over nothing.

Jan 23rd, 2021 - 02:20 pm - Link - Report abuse -1Always a pleasure answering your comments..., even if we do disagree 'bout a couple of minor details like the squatting on other Man's land..., or them Lasses right to decide over their own reproductive system...
You are almost completely right about the civilian flights reporting and permission requests...
Let me just add a couple of things...:
- 1) It would not only be..., as you say above...: ***“ A bit dumb of any airline not to do so!”***..., it would be completely illegal (and infinitely stupid) not to do so...!
- 2) Argentina could have been ***“A huuuuuuuuuge bit dumb”*** and deny any permission and alternative landing but..., as we have an excellent relationtship with them Aryans and we want to keep it that way......................
In respect of ze German icebreaker “RV Polarstern” navigation permit...:
- The excellent relationship of mutual benefit that exist between the Aryan A.W.I. and the Argie I.A.A..., resulted in ze Germans automatic request..., as per Argie Decree 256/2010...
No more..., no less...
Any doubts you may have about what was said (and not said) about the issue..., pls refer...:

All hell breaks loose when women in quiet anger repress quietly their anger — until one enourmous cataclysmic release of fury...
Have a pleasant Sunday afternoon.
