Jetsmart Chile transferred A320ceo, CC-AWC (c/n 7691), to its Argentine affiliate Jetsmart Argentina  on 18Oct24.  The aircraft is operating in Argentina on the basis of the "Interchange" agreement signed by Chile and Argentina in August 2024, which was facilitated by the changes in Argentine regulations allowing for the operation of foreign aircraft by Argentine carriers, which took effect on 04Oct24.  Jetsmart Argentina is flying the plane with Argentine crews.

CC-AWC was orginally delivered to Jetsmart Chile on 28Jull7 where it flew with the carrier until its recent transfer to Jetsmart Argentina.  The aircraft has worn the "Loica" (Longtail Meaadowlark) scheme pictured at the top of this posting since it was first delivered to Jetsmart Chile in 2017.  

Jetsmart Argentina now has ten A320ceo's in its fleet with the last A320ceo currently flying for Jetsmart Chile scheduled to join the Argentine affiliate in January 2025 for a total of eleven aircraft flying for the Buenos Aires-based carrier.  At that point, Jetsmart Chile will have a fleet comprised entirely of A320neo's and A321neo's.  

Jetsmart Argentina will use the new additions to its fleet to increase frequencies on many existing routes and expand its overall route network.
