Aerolíneas Argentinas Achieves Historic Financial Result of $169.012 Million in the First Quarter of 2025
Aerolíneas Argentinas has delivered an exceptional financial performance in the first quarter of 2025, marking a milestone in its recent history. With a positive result of $169.012 million, the company has reached its highest figure since its re-nationalization in 2008.
An Unprecedented Result for the National Airline
The first quarter of 2025 proved decisive for Aerolíneas Argentinas, as it recorded an operating surplus of $169.012 million, demonstrating the success of policies implemented to optimize operations. This result, which includes both operating and financial income, is the best since the airline’s re-nationalization, even surpassing the expectations of financial analysts.
The company achieved a historic ratio between its financial result and operating income, with a margin of 22.78%, placing it in a privileged position compared to other airlines in the region. This level of efficiency is noteworthy, as it reflects not only the strength of Aerolíneas Argentinas’ financial management but also its ability to remain competitive in a challenging aviation industry environment.
Positive Impact of Cost-Reduction Policies
One of the key strategies driving this result was cost reduction. The airline implemented a resource optimization policy that included a 16% reduction in its workforce, reaching the lowest number of employees per aircraft in 15 years. This process involved the departure of over 1,600 employees, which, though challenging in terms of labor relations, was crucial for improving the company’s operational efficiency.
Additionally, a significant number of hierarchical positions were eliminated, with 85 roles cut from the structure, including 8 directorates, 20 managerial positions, and 57 additional roles. This restructuring not only reduced labor costs but also streamlined decision-making processes, enhancing the agility and productivity of operational staff, both in-flight and on the ground.

Restructuring: Key to Profitability
Aerolíneas Argentinas’ restructuring was not limited to workforce reduction. It also included route optimization and a sustained recovery in demand, particularly in the international network. These actions, combined with operational efficiency, have allowed the airline to avoid requesting public fund transfers in 2025.
In fact, Aerolíneas Argentinas has informed the Ministry of Economy that it will not require public funds for its operations, marking significant progress in terms of financial independence and long-term sustainability.
The Future of Aerolíneas Argentinas: Sustainability and Competitiveness
The company’s future looks even more promising following these achievements. With a solid financial foundation, operational efficiency, and a constant focus on cost reduction and continuous improvement, the airline is positioned to remain a key player in the Latin American market. Moreover, its recovery in the international network places it in a strategic position to capitalize on the growth in demand for international flights, especially in a post-pandemic context.
Aerolíneas Argentinas has overcome financial and operational challenges with a strategy focused on efficiency and sustainability. With a historic surplus and an optimized cost structure, the national airline demonstrates that it is on a path of consolidation and growth.
