Argentina’s airline market has attracted the interest of several foreign airlines over the years. It’s a challenging market though, because of factors ranging from geography to currency volatility.
Currently, Aerolineas Argentinas is its country’s market leader by capacity. Argentina’s largest airlines based outside of South America are Copa, American, and Iberia.
