Foreign airlines ask the Argentine government to operate from Aeroparque

Just as Argentina's Aerolineas Argentinas did this month, Chile's Lan airlines and Brazil's Tam and Gol asked the government to operate regional flights from Aeroparque, the domestic airport in Buenos Aires. Aerolineas Argentinas, which is in the process of expropriating Spain's Marsans firm, was authorized to operate flights to diverse destinations in the southern cone from Aeroparque. The remaining companies must operate from the Ezeiza international airport, located 30 kilometers from the capital. The Secretary of Transportation reported that there was no "discrimination against any airline company."
