Ua hoʻomaka ke aupuni o ʻAmelika i kahi hoʻoikaika nui e hoʻololi i ka mokulele mokuʻāina ʻo Aerolineas Argentinas a me ka mea lawe moku ʻāina ʻo Austral.
Ua wehe ʻo Pelekikena Cristina Kirchner i kahi Boeing 737/700 hou i ka pule i hala, ʻo ka mokulele hou mua i kūʻai ʻia no Aerolineas Argentinas i 16 mau makahiki. Ua hoʻokumu ʻia ka mokulele a me kāna kaikuahine ʻo Austral i ka makahiki 2008 e mālama i ka mokulele i nā kūlana kiʻekiʻe.
ʻO ka ʻauwaʻa, kekahi o nā mea kahiko loa o ka honua, ke hoʻonui koke ʻia nei. E hāʻawi ʻia ka lua Boeing 737/700 i ka hopena o Iune, a e helu koke ʻo Aerolineas i ʻeiwa mau mokulele like ʻole e hoʻolimalima ʻia e hāʻawi ʻia ma mua o ka hopena o ka makahiki.
Eia hou, ua hoʻolaha ke Kākau'ōlelo o ka Transport o Argentina i ke kūʻaiʻana o 15-20 hou Airbus A330 a me A340 mokulele no ka huakaʻi lōʻihi e hoʻomaikaʻi i nā pilina me nā mākeke honua.
E hōʻano hou ʻia ka mea lawe moku ʻāina ʻo Austral ma hope o ke kau inoa ʻana i kahi ʻaelike ma Mei me ke aupuni o Brazil e kūʻai aku i 20 Embraer 190 mokulele e hāʻawi ʻia ma ka uku ʻelua o kēlā me kēia mahina e hoʻomaka ana i ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka makahiki 2010. E hoʻonohonoho ʻia ka mokulele Embraer e like me nā kikoʻī o Austral. 96 mau noho ʻoluʻolu ma nā papa ʻelua.
Ua hana ʻo Pelekikena Kirchner i ka hana hou ʻana o nā mokulele ʻelua i mea koʻikoʻi i kāna kulekele aupuni. I kona hoʻolaha ʻana i ke kūʻai ʻana o nā mokulele hou, ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia, "He lā kūikawā kēia. Ma hope o 16 mau makahiki, kūʻai ʻo Aerolineas Argentinas i nā mokulele hou. ʻAʻole ia he moʻolelo hoʻokele waiwai; ʻo ia hoʻi ka hoihoi hou ʻana i ka hanohano lāhui.
ʻO ka mokulele Embraer e lilo i US $ 600 miliona (Euros 436 miliona), a ʻo ka 85 pakeneka e loaʻa kālā ma o kahi hōʻaiʻē mai Banco Nacional de Desenvolvimento Econômico e Social (BNDES) o Brazil. Ma ke ʻano he ʻāpana o kēia ʻaelike, e hana ʻo Embraer i nā ʻāpana mokulele ʻokoʻa ma ka hale hana mokulele koa ma ke kūlanakauhale ʻo Cordoba.
Na nā mokulele hou e pani i ka mokulele B737 a me MD80, e ʻae ana iā Aerolineas Argentina a me Austral e hoʻokele i kā lākou mau ʻauwaʻa me ka ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka hana, nā kumukūʻai hoʻohaʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa, a me ka hoʻemi ʻana i nā hoʻokuʻu pollutant.
