00:00Argentina was always a discussion, especially in the previous administration.
00:03Some described it directly as an aerocampora, because it had been taken over by the political group.
00:09A surprise, what was known.
00:11A surprise, what was known.
00:12From my point of view, absolutely subjective, a joy,
00:17because it is talking about the company having possibilities,
00:20either to follow the path that the government had announced, that we will see how, of privatization,
00:25or not to be privatized.
00:26In a country like Argentina, the discussion is also whether or not we need a flag line that serves the whole country.
00:34I think so.
00:35Yes, without a doubt, with the extension that Argentina has, without a doubt.
00:38And an airline that is, I think, in case it is necessary to remember,
00:42of prestige, that has a level and a security ranking in the world, very high, where we are all very comfortable.
00:47The staff is trained, the on-board staff, I say pilots, air traffic controllers,
00:52very, very trained staff.
00:56I interviewed Enrique Piñeyro last year, the man who knows a lot, in fact he is a pilot,
01:02and he told me, airlines are needed first, let's face it, no, the Argentine geography is needed.
01:07And he said, traditionally it had a balance, or a superavit of 8 million dollars, or a deficit of 8 million.
01:14It oscillated in that.
01:16After we went to hell.
01:17Until we went to hell.
01:19Until we went to hell.
01:20And look at this number.
01:23It gave superavit for the first time since 2008.
01:252008, why?
01:26Because it was, we are talking about the statistics, it is the number we have at that time.
01:3020.2 million dollars, here you have it, is the superavit that is giving, that is closing in 2024.
01:38Even the numbers are improving in the months that followed.
01:43Is it clear something that must be taken into account?
01:46It was done a lot in a year.
01:49But of course it is.
01:49And in fact, many of the executives who are working at Aeroline are the same as they were before.
01:55Because the company continued to maintain part of the executives and those who are working in the field tasks.
02:00What was done is a lot of cutting.
02:02Let's see, I say it clearly, what you just said.
02:04One thing is to have an airline that has an operating cost, and another thing is to have a political hold, which is what Aeroline had become.
02:11I don't remember, the withdrawal, I don't want to get my foot in, I would have to look at the reports.
02:16Or three voluntary withdrawals.
02:18I don't want to get my foot in with the number.
02:20But it was shown that with such a large number of withdrawals, Aeroline continued to function efficiently.
02:25Yes, in one of them, in total, if I'm not mistaken, I think 2,000 people joined.
02:30I think the total is 8,500, but I don't want to get my foot in.
02:33Well, that's why, it was more than two.
02:34Now, it is clear that it went down a lot.
02:38And look at the number in comparison.
02:39In 2023, there were nominally losses of 220 million dollars.
02:44Why do I say nominally?
02:45Because that was not the real red.
02:47Because to reach that number, exchange rates had been taken.
02:50It is a company that obviously operates in dollars from two points of view.
02:53Of the revenues it receives, of the leasing it pays abroad.
02:57Because most of the airplanes of the Argentine Airlines are rented, so you have to pay the leasers and they pay you in dollars.
03:03And also because it has income in dollars from the tickets it sells abroad.
03:07Taking into account an exchange rate of 500 million dollars, they reached that number of 220 million.
03:15The reality is that it lost 400 million dollars in 2023.
03:19That's the number.
03:20Now, with the update, look at where we left off and where we are now.
03:24Take this figure, if you want to take this one.
03:26Ok, from 220 down to 20 up.
03:3210, 12 times the difference, from one end to the other.
03:37Totally.
03:38Well, now what remains is to see what the government wants to do.
03:42The government does not formally announce that it is going back with the privatization process.
03:47There are two projects still going around in Congress, one of the PRO and Radicalismo.
03:52It also has a project on the privatization of airlines.
03:54We'll see what happens.
03:55But this airline, with these numbers, gives much more tranquility than the one it had before in terms of its future.
