6 airlines

Network airlines

Scheduled airlines with a hub and connecting flights – usually on short-, medium- and long-haul routes.

Aerolíneas Argentinas

AR / ARG

Argentina’s state-owned flag carrier with hubs in Buenos Aires: a SkyTeam member since 2012, a guest in Madrid and Rome with the Airbus A330-200, and for years a pawn in the debate over privatizing it again.

Low-cost carriers

Cheap point-to-point flights, often with a single-type fleet, many bases and short turnaround times.

Flybondi

FO / FBZ

Argentina’s first ultra-low-cost airline: founded in 2016, flying domestic routes with Boeing 737-800s since 2018 – and without regular flight operations since August 2026.

JetSMART Argentina

WJ / JES

The Argentine offshoot of the Chilean low-cost group JetSMART: grew out of the start-up Alas del Sur, in the air since 2019, with the Airbus A320 family and a base at Aeroparque, the city airport of Buenos Aires.

LAPA – Líneas Aéreas Privadas Argentinas

MJ / LPR

Historic airline from Buenos Aires, 1977 to 2003: LAPA shook up Argentina’s domestic market with low fares – and Flight 3142 became one of the worst disasters in Argentine aviation in 1999.

Leisure airlines

Airlines focused on vacation destinations – in scheduled service and for tour operators.

Andes Líneas Aéreas

O4 / ANS

Small Argentine airline from Salta: once flying scheduled and charter service with the MD-80, after a crisis and a restart now a charter airline with a few Boeing 737s for tour operators, soccer clubs and graduation trips.

Regional airlines

Short routes with turboprops and regional jets, often as feeders to the big hubs.

Austral Líneas Aéreas

AU / AUT

Historic domestic airline from Argentina: formed in 1971 from two predecessors, later sister of Aerolíneas Argentinas with an Embraer 190 fleet – and fully integrated into the flag carrier at the end of November 2020.
