Aerolineas Argentinas continues to struggle as government protection from competition increases

3-Jan-12 3:42 PM

Argentina’s aviation market has taken another step backwards as the country’s Government continues to come up with new measures aimed at protecting struggling flag carrier Aerolineas Argentinas. Aerolineas, which has not yet completed the restructuring it started three years ago after the carrier was renationalised, faces another challenging year while Latin America’s other leading carriers prosper without any government subsidies or protection.

In the latest example of protectionism, Argentinean civil aviation authorities last month decided to revoke LAN Argentina’s permits to operate international flights from Buenos Aires’ downtown airport, Aeroparque Jorge Newbery. LAN is vehemently protesting the decision on the grounds the Chile-based airline group, which has had an affiliate in Argentina since 2005, is being unfairly discriminated against. LAN currently operates two important international business routes from Aeroparque, Santiago and Sao Paulo Guarulhos.

With a highly unprofitable international operation and a roughly break-even domestic business, Aerolineas now stands alone in Latin America as the only loss-making major carrier in the region.

FACT FILE: Latin American aviation. 2011 will be crucial year for global alliances

15-Apr-11 4:05 PM

Latin America is a high-potential and high-growth market, with a few key and internationally competitive airlines and a fast-growing LCC segment, which has seen phenomenal growth in Colombia, Brazil and Mexico. Latin America has become a top performer because its carriers have been through an (at times painful) transformation over the past decade. At the same time, the gap between the top several carriers (almost all of which are profitable) and the rest of the pack has widened. There has been a recent increase in the number of international carriers operating to this region.
