The minister also said that the government does not intend to expel any airline that operates in Argentina and requested Lan to present a survey on the impact that the loss of the hangar in Buenos Aires would represent to the company – which has threatened to stop operating in the country, if not has the hangar.
His remarks came after a meeting between the Deputy Minister of Economy, Axel Kicillof and executive director of Lan, Ignacio Cueto, to discuss the official decision to evict the company’ from the hangar at Aeroparque.
