    PROCESO DE PRIVATIZACIÓN DE AEROLÍNEAS ARGENTINAS Aportado por: Miriam Vanesa Quintans - [email protected] Autor: Quintans, Miriam Vanesa INTRODUCCIÓN: El presente trabajo refleja los acontecimientos acaecidos en la última parte de la historia de Aerolíneas Argentinas, ya que por su significación, han producido un cambio tan profundo como perjudicial para el estado de la empresa. Para concatenar la cuantiosa sucesión de hechos hemos decidido tomar el eje de tiempo y dar los hechos sobresalientes a modo de diario de una sola historia conjuntamente con el análisis de los mismos. Como podrá apreciarse por la simple lectura la historia está plagada de idas y venidas de todos los actores intervinientes y ha condicionado la empresa a futuro en función de mejoras que aún no se aprecian. Desde la perspectiva de ciudadanos comunes hemos sentido la perdida de algo que nos enorgullecía y que ha sido cambiado en pos de un fin utilitario del que poco se ha cumplido. El análisis de los hechos ha sido hecho tomando como base el estado en que la empresa se encontraba en el momento de ser privatizada y su potencial. De esto se desprende que el camino recorrido hubiera podido ser muy distinto si no se hubiera actuado con la precariedad y mezquindad con la que se lo hizo. 1) RELATO DE LOS ACONTECIMIENTOS 1.1) Antes de la venta • El primer antecedente de Aerolíneas Argentinas se remonta a 1929, cuando se crea Aeroposta, el correo aéreo por el que pasan los franceses Jean Mermoz y Antoine de Saint- Exupéry, autor de "El principito".

Devised around the runway used for takeoff by the pioneers of civil aviation, La Piste des Géants comprises several facilities: Les Jardins de la Ligne, open in June 2017, a large landscaped itinerary evoking the lands over which the pioneers of La Ligne flew; La Halle de La Machine, a contemporary structure that houses La Machine Street Theatre Company’s ‘Bestiary’ since November and L’Envol des Pionniers, in the site’s rehabilitated historic buildings. In order to do honour to and make known the amazing saga of Toulouse that witnessed the birth of civil aviation with the first flight by Latécoère which took off from Toulouse-Montaudran, then L’Aéropostale and finally Air France, Jean-Luc Moudenc, Mayor of Toulouse, President of Toulouse Métropole, wished to have the historical buildings around the legendary runway rehabilitated. In partnership with the Pioneers’s descendants and many associations, L’Envol des Pioneers, a facility dedicated to the story of aeronautics, was created and was inaugurated on 20 December 2018, 100 years almost to the day after the inaugural flight to Barcelona.

  • 1910 - HENRI FABRE and the BIRTH of SEAPLANE Henri FABRE (1882-1984) Created the First Seaplane in the World from Zero
    Very early on, humans dreamed of flying like birds. Sitting at the controls of his airplane, the Eole, Frenchman Clément Ader was the first man to report having flown using an engine, back in 1890. He was followed by the first controlled flight in a motorized airplane, by the WRIGHT brothers (USA) in 1903. In 1670, many forerunners would take an interest in how to make something heavier than air take flight from the water, and thus launched into the adventure of the flying boat or, as it quickly became known, the seaplane. For example, the manufacturer and pilot Blériot attempted to equip landplanes (like the Blériot II) with floats, but unsuccessfully. 1910 - HENRI FABRE AND THE BIRTH OF SEAPLANE Henri FABRE (1882-1984) created the first seaplane in the world from zero. Unfortunately, his first craft, built in 1908, the Trimoteur (model in the middle of the room), was too heavy to lift out of the water, due to the weight of its three engines. Fabre did manage to get his Canard with floats out of the water and land it on the Etang de Berre on March 28, 1910. The flight was certified in a report produced by a bailiff (copy of the report). A float from the Fabre Canard is on display at the back of the workshop. Henri Fabre, the son of a family of sailors and shipwrights, received financial support for his projects from his family. Once it became too costly to manufacture planes, he devoted himself to the creation of floats for the airplanes of other pioneers and aviators.

Il veut créer une ligne aérienne aéropostale qui pourrait relier les hommes entre plusieurs continents, tels que l’Europe, l’Afrique et l’Amérique du Sud couvrant ainsi 10 pays. C’est grâce aux hommes de l’Aéropostale et à leur héroïsme, grâce aux audaces folles de pilotes entrés dans la légende comme Mermoz, Daurat, Roig, et Guillaumet et bien d’autres souvent disparus lors de missions périlleuses, qu’ont été instaurés des liens réels d’amitié entre l’Amérique du Sud et la France. La plus grande épopée de l’aviation postale le long des côtes européennes et africaines sur la ligne qui reliera Toulouse à Santiago du Chili observait une devise : « Le courrier doit passer » et une règle de fonctionnement : « On écrit tous les jours, l’avion postal n’a que de sens que s’il décolle tous les jours. » Dès l’été 1918, soit deux mois avant l’Armistice de la Grande Guerre, il fallait une audace prophétique à Pierre-Georges Latécoère pour proposer à l’Etat français un premier projet de ligne aérienne postale entre Paris et Buenos Aires.
