Aerolíneas Argentinas, the state-owned airline of Argentina, has faced significant challenges in recent years due to the COVID-19 pandemic and economic difficulties. The airline has been struggling with low passenger numbers, reduced financial performance, and high operational costs. It has also had to cut routes due to increased competition.
The carrier recently withdrew from its lucrative route between Ministro Pistarini International Airport (EZE) and New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), which attracted high-spending travelers. This decision is part of a broader struggle with financial losses.
The airline's outdated fleet of Airbus A330s further compounds its problems. These aircraft lack competitive business class offerings compared to US legacy carriers like United Airlines, Delta Air Lines, and American Airlines, which operate more modern jets on similar routes.
