#TBT: Aerolíneas Argentinas flights to Europe in 1979
In the mid-1970s, Aerolíneas Argentinas incorporated its first Boeing 747s, mainly focused on flights to the United States and Europe, which were operated at the time on Boeing 707 aircraft.
Aerolíneas Argentinas was the first company in the country to acquire these jets, which remained active until 2008 in the case of the Boeing 747-200 and 2012 considering the Boeing 747-400.
