Aerolíneas Argentinas was formed by the Argentine's Ministry of Transport as a state corporation in May 1949, when it took over the routes and assets of four struggling airlines.[1][2] A year and a half later, in late December 1950, the company introduced the Buenos Aires–Rio de Janeiro–Natal–Dakar–Lisbon–Paris–Frankfurt route, using 48-seater DC-6 equipment, linking Argentina with Germany for the first time since 1933.[3] By May 1952, the carrier's route network was 35,500 miles (57,100 km) long.[4] Upon taking delivery of the first three Comet 4s, which also became the first jetliners in the airline's fleet, these brand new aircraft were deployed on the Buenos Aires–London, Buenos Aires–New York City, and Buenos Aires–Santiago de Chile routes.[5][6]

As of December 2012, the airline's top five international routes in terms of available seat kilometre (ASK) were Buenos Aires-Ezeiza–Madrid-Barajas, Buenos Aires-Ezeiza–Miami, Buenos Aires-Ezeiza–Barcelona, Buenos Aires-Ezeiza–Rome-Fiumicino and Buenos Aires-Ezeiza–Sydney; European routes account for about 41% of total ASK.[7] In January 2013, the airline was granted permission to operate services to Atlanta, Detroit, Guangzhou, Las Vegas and Tel Aviv, yet it was announced it would not fly to these destinations with its own aircraft in the near future.[8] In November 2013, the carrier announced the discontinuance of services to Sydney starting in April 2014.[9][10] Aerolíneas had previously served Sydney via Auckland until the city was removed from the airline's international network in July 2012.[11] After leaving the Buenos Aires–New York JFK market unserved since 2008,[12] Aerolíneas Argentinas resumed these flights in December 2013.[13] As of September 2016, the airline's top five domestic airports by available seats are Aeroparque Jorge Newbery, Ingeniero Aeronáutico Ambrosio L.V. Taravella International Airport, Ministro Pistarini International Airport, San Carlos de Bariloche Airport and Comandante Armando Tola International Airport.[14]
