Mauricio Macri’s message against Aerolíneas Argentinas
In his extensive message, the former president harshly criticized the aeronautical unions for their forceful measures in the midst of the wage conflict. Along these lines, he assured that “Biró and his partners have been defrauding Argentines for too many yearseven those that do not fly, under the false flag of sovereignty and the anachronistic (and expensive) concept of a flag carrier.”
“It is they who They made sure that today there is little flying, that it is expensive, that there are fewer connections between provinces and mainly, of blatantly harassing the competition to maintain its profits,” Macri accused in the text. In addition, the PRO leader stressed that today most of the company’s losses occur “on international routes.”
The politician took advantage of the situation to to claim the management of his Government on the aeronautical offer, which he described as the “Aircraft Revolution“:”During those years, flying was 80% cheaper than in 2015. And in 2019, 6 million more passengers flew across the country than in 2015. For the first time in 12 years, new airlines entered the marketafter years of stagnation without options.”
Regarding the future, Macri said: “There are two paths before us. One is a connected country, with options and cheap tickets, where thousands of people can get on a plane for the first time and where Argentines can reunite with their families in each of the provinces without costing society a penny, or a country where Biró and his partners continue to manage our lives with money from our pockets to maintain their profits. Which one are we going to choose?“

A second option would be the “splitting the company into two (or three) new onesone for air and one for ground services.” According to the politician’s plan, the company would also introduce new collective agreements.
The former president’s latest proposal points to a “downsizing of the company” and the “liquidation of its assets separately“In this way, the planes would be passed on to “new entrants in the market” and the rest of the assets – such as simulators, maintenance area and the ramp company – would be auctioned off by another company.
