Aerolineas Argentinas offers flights to a range of destinations around the world, as well as operating a wide range of domestic flights around its historic home base, Argentina.
The airline can trace its roots back to 1950, when it was created by official state decree as the national flag carrier of Argentina.
Shortly afterwards, the airline won its first award when the Inter-American Press Agency awarded it the prize for best commercial air company in the world.
This early recognition set the tone for an illustrious career that continues up to the present day.
Throughout the 1950s the airline expanded both its fleet and its flight destinations steadily, initially in South America.
In October 1956 Aerolineas Argentinas completed its first intercontinental flight, landing safely in New York City.
By 1961 the airline had been flying the jet powered de Havilland Comet aircraft for three years.
In December of that year a Comet painted in Aerolineas Argentinas livery became the first commercial airliner to circumnavigate the world, carrying President Frondizi on an official trip.
Throughout the 60s and 70s the airline stayed at the forefront of aviation innovation, equipping its fleet with Boeing 707s in 1965 and then buying the latest Boeing 747 Jumbo Jets in 1976, shortly after the plane was first launched.
In 1980 the airline achieved another historic first - an Aerolineas Argentinas Boeing 747 made the first trans-polar flight.
The remainder of the 80s saw Pope John Paul II choose to fly with the Argentinian national carrier twice.
But in 1990 financial difficulties led to the airline being taken over by the highly successful Iberia, a Spanish carrier.
Today it operates a fleet which includes four Airbus A340-200 aeroplanes and a range of Boeing 747 and 737 aircraft, including the latest model of the jumbo jet, the 747-400.
The company provides great on-board entertainment to keep passengers occupied during their flight, with a wide range of audio channels to listen to, catering for all different tastes.
Aerolineas Argentinas also provides a selection of entertainment videos on its international flights, including documentaries on art, fashion and tourism.
A bilingual in-flight magazine provides passengers with an exciting range of articles to entertain them and help them plan their trip, while some planes are even equipped with satellite phones and fax machines.
Cabin service onboard Aerolineas Argentinas matches the industry's highest standards, with a delicious range of food and unlimited free drinks on offer.
Passengers with special requirements can request tailored meals to meet their individual needs, with low calorie meals and children's food just two of the options that are available.
