History

Andes Líneas Aéreas began operations on 20 June 2006 with services between Salta and Buenos Aires. From its beginnings, the company has been one of the main charter flight providers in Argentina, covering local destinations as well as destinations in Brazil and in the Caribbean. It has also been the official transport of major Argentine football clubs such as River Plate, Boca Juniors, San Lorenzo, etc. After Salta, Andes added regular scheduled flights between Buenos Aires and Puerto Madryn, Jujuy and Cordoba (the latter were later discontinued).[2]

Following the change in government, and therefore airline policy, in December 2015 in Argentina, Andes began expanding its network and fleet.^{[citation needed]}

In February 2017, Andes received formal authorization from the Argentine Civil Aviation Authority (ANAC) to fly to a large number of domestic and international destinations including Rosario, Puerto Iguazu, Bariloche, Comodoro Rivadavia, Puerto Madryn, Ushuaia, El Calafate, São Paulo, Santiago de Chile and Lima among others.[3]

In the summer of 2017, the airline inaugurated regular seasonal summer flights to Mar del Plata from Buenos Aires. It also restarted scheduled flights between Cordoba and Buenos Aires, and between Mendoza and Buenos Aires in March 2017.[4] The company was scheduled to add flights to Termas de Rio Hondo (as a replacement for Tucuman while works continued at the airport) in May 2017, as well as flights to Iguazu (July 2017), Bariloche and Comodoro Rivadavia from Buenos Aires, and charter flights to the Dominican Republic from Córdoba, all in 2017.^{[citation needed]} The company also received its first Boeing 737-800 formerly owned by Malaysian Airlines in May 2017.[5]

On 9 November 2019, the airline resumed all flights after the Chubut provincial government approved the payment of ARS199 million pesos (USD3.34 million) that was owed to the airline.[6] However, it suspended operations again in 2020, following the COVID-19 pandemic.

[es] Andes Líneas Aéreas

Andes Líneas Aéreas fue una aerolínea argentina que se dedicaba a vuelos de cabotaje, vuelos regionales y vuelos chárteres. Con bases en el Aeropuerto Internacional Martín Miguel de Güemes de la ciudad de Salta, Argentina y el Aeroparque Jorge Newbery de la ciudad de Buenos Aires, Argentina. Fue creada en 2005[1] como solución a las pocas frecuencias que existían entre las ciudades de Salta y Buenos Aires, y por la alta demanda de esa ruta. Comenzó a operar en junio de 2006 y tras cuatro años de operación, en marzo del 2010 obtuvo el 1,29% del mercado de cabotaje argentino superando a Sol Líneas Aéreas que obtuvo el 1,04%, y quedando muy detrás de LAN Argentina con el 27,82% y de Aerolíneas Argentinas con el 69,28%.[cita requerida] En enero de 2012, la aerolínea española Vueling cubrió la producción de verano austral de Andes con dos aviones establecidos en el Aeropuerto de Ezeiza. Volaron con ellos hasta abril del 2012. Durante el período 2017-2019 Andes voló con aviones Boeing 737 NG y MD83, luego de la crisis económica y devaluación del año 2018, tuvo que regresar los Boeing 737 NG. Con la llegada de las restricciones a la circulación producto del aislamiento obligatorio por la pandemia de COVID-19, la empresa se vio obligada a suspender operaciones durante gran parte de 2020 y 2021 sin embargo, vale aclarar, desde antes de la pandemia tuvo varios parates en sus operaciones consecuencia de la falta de pagos de combustible y sueldos.
