This year, Argentina-based airline Aerolineas Argentinas will acquire freighters for the first time. The government-owned airline, based in Buenos Aires, currently has a 100% passenger aircraft fleet, but it plans to add two B737-800 freighters, destined to carry Argentine and regional products. The carrier said the two aircraft are due to arrive in the fleet in the first quarter of 2023.
The carrier said that last year it transported large amounts of agricultural products including cherries, salmon, seeds and meat to the US, Europe the Middle East and other international destinations in the belly cargo of passenger flights.
”The new planes will allow a significant increase in cargo transport capacity,” the airline said.
