Aerolíneas Argentinas is the largest domestic and international airline in Argentina and serves as Argentina's flag carrier. The airline, based in Buenos Aires, operates from hubs at Aeroparque Jorge Newbery for Domestic flights and Ministro Pistarini International Airport for International services.
On 21 July 2008, the Argentine government took the airline back into state control after acquiring 99.4% of the share capital for an undisclosed price. The remaining 0.6% continues to be owned by the company's employees. On 3 September 2008, Argentina's Senate approved the nationalization of Aerolíneas Argentinas and its subsidiary Austral Líneas Aéreas on a 46-21 vote in favor of the takeover.
