About the airline Aerolineas Argentinas

Photo of Aerolineas Argentinas

The airline was privatised in the 1990s and then nationalised in 2008. Its subsidiary Austral Líneas Aéreas followed the same path and offers only domestic flights. As it grew, the airline modernised its fleet to minimise its CO2 impact. In 2012, it joined the SkyTeam alliance and is currently the only South American airline member of the alliance. The airline offers 60 destinations around the world.

Examples of top-performing aircraft operated by Aerolineas Argentinas

These are the aircraft listed in the airline’s flight schedule that are recognised for their energy efficiency. Certain technological advancements allow for fuel savings of up to 20% compared with the average fuel consumption of aircraft operating the same type of flights. Using such technology thus reduces planes’ carbon footprint by the same amount.

Investments for the use of sustainable aviation fuels

Some fuels reduce CO2 emissions by 80% over their life cycle compared with fossil fuels. They are called Sustainable aviation fuels (SAF). They can be blended with kerosene in varying quantities. Their large-scale deployment requires significant investment from all stakeholders involved.

Investment in fleet renewal

Driven by the growing environmental imperative, aircraft coming off production lines are very often more efficient than earlier versions. The same applies to cars. Fleet renewal therefore helps, in this respect, to contain the growth of greenhouse gas emissions.

The airline began modernising its fleet in 2020 by replacing its Boeing 737-700s with Boeing B737 Max and Airbus A330-200 aircraft, which were more fuel-efficient.

R&D for a new generation of eco-efficient aircraft

All these investments are for research and development of cutting-edge technologies for tomorrow's aircraft, whether hydrogen-powered, electric or innovatively designed, for the benefit of the environment. This includes funding programmes and partnerships with laboratories and industry partners.

Carbon offsetting programmes

These are all the programmes in which the airline participates voluntarily or as required to offset its CO2 emissions. The principle is based on purchasing carbon credits that fund environmental programmes reducing the company’s overall footprint. Such carbon credit schemes include the European Union Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) and CORSIA for international aviation compensation.
The airline Aerolineas Argentinas has no carbon offset programme

Optimisation of flight operations

These are all the actions and investments that enable airlines to optimise their ground and in-flight operations, thereby helping to reduce air transport’s overall energy usage.
Aerolineas Argentinas does not optimise its flight operations.

Other environmental initiatives

All initiatives to preserve the environment are beneficial. Here we list the other environmental actions that the airline has put in place, such as the waste sorting and recycling policy on board, the elimination of single-use plastics and efforts to reduce food waste.

The airline has reduced its waste generation on the ground and in flight and works to protect wildlife in Argentina by prohibiting the transport of hunting trophies on board its flights.
