Líneas Aéreas Federales

Líneas Aéreas Federales was a state-owned airline operating domestic services based in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

It was created by the Argentinian government after Líneas Aéreas Privadas Argentinas (LAPA) was folded.

In March 2005, the Chilean flagship airline LAN Airlines reached an agreement with the Argentine government to absorb all workers at Argentina's state carrier LAFSA.

LAN took over LAFSA's routes and agreed to help Southern Winds for at least 90 days as well.

[citation needed] The remarkable fact is that LAFSA never had any airplanes, but it would keep the structure that was not absorbed by LAN Argentina,[1] even with people in charge with clients, a marketing manager, pilots and copilots.
