FLEET UPDATE: Aerolineas Argentinas Cargo 737-800F LV-CTC in cargo livery entered service on 03May23 (photo)

Aerolineas Argentinas Cargo 737-800F, LV-CTC (30570/879), pictured in its sparkling new livery, probably at the Fabrica Argentina de Aviones airfield in Cordoba where it was painted, on 13Apr23. (Photo: Source Unknown)

Aerolineas Argentinas announced on 30Dec22 that it would be adding two 737-800F's to its fleet in the first half of 2023 with the aircraft formng the first pure- freighters flying for the carrier in 16 years. 

The aircraft are slated to transport automotive parts and household and industrial electrical products manufactured by Mirgor S.A. in its Rio Grande factories located in the province of Tierra del Fuego in extreme southern Argentina, which is highly-dependent on the air transport of goods as surface options, such as highways, are scarce in the rugged region.

Mirgor has contracted for exclusive use of the aircraft for 12 hours each day with the freighters available for the transport of other cargo by Aerolineas the rest of the time.     

LV-CTC (30570/879) was delivered to the Argentinean national airline on 22Dec11 as a passenger aircraft after first having flown for Air Berlin for a few months earlier in 2011.  The aircraft left the Aerolineas fleet during the pandemic on 03Dec20 and spent the next 16 months in storage in Goodyear (GYR) (Arizona) and Miami (MIA) before flying to Dothan (DHN) (Alabama) in April 2022 where it was modified to a pure freighter configuration with the work completed and the plane arriving back at Buenos Aires Ezeiza (EZE) on 23Feb23.  

The aircraft features a large cargo door measuring 2.14m x 3.40m allowing for up to 11 large freight containers and 1 small one on the main deck totalling 23,900kg in weight.    

LV-CTC flew to the Fabrica Argentina de Aviones (FAdeA) airfield in Cordoba on 28Mar23 where it was painted in the above-pictured Aerolineas Argentinas Cargo color scheme, returning to Buenos Aires Ezeiza (EZE) on 15Apr23.  The aircraft entered service on 03May23.

Aerolineas' second 737-800 freighter will be a 737-85(BCF) "Boeing Converted Freighter" with registration LV-KHQ and is scheduled to join the Aerolineas fleet in the coming months.

FLEET UPDATE: Aerolineas Argentinas 737-700 fleet history - six still operating (photos)

Aerolineas Argentinas has operated a total of 22 737-700's with 14 having left the fleet and 8 still with the carrier.

* 14 Retired 737-700's

Of Aerolineas' 14 retired airframes, 9 were originally delivered to Virgin Blue and 4 to EasyJet, with all 13 aircraft leaving the Boeing factory in the 2000-2001 timeframe.  Aerolineas took delivery of these planes between 2009-2012 with all of them going on to Southwest between 2016-2018. 

One airframe had a different career path from those above, having first been  delivered to Sky Airlines (Turkey) before joining Aerolineas and continuing on to Chrono Aviation (presumably the Canadian charter airline) in 2021.   

* 8 737-700's still in the Fleet

      

Two 737-700's are stored at the airline's Buenos Aires Ezeiza (EZE) base:

* LV-BYY (33938/2863) presumably still in the pre-2010 color scheme  

* LV-CBF (32696/1922) presumably still in the pre-2010 color scheme 

Aerolineas Argentinas still flies six 737-700's:

* Two in the pre-2010 color scheme with a white fuselage and solid dark blue tail

* Two in the current 2010 livery 

* One in Skyteam colors

* One in the 1970's retro "AA" two-tone blue livery

These aircraft are pictured below with accompanying comments profiling their histories:

This aircraft was first delivered to SkyEurope (Slovakia) in 2006, continuing on to Aerolineas on 01Oct09.  It is leased from General Electric Capital Aviation Services (GECAS).  

 

LV-CBT (34756/2208) at Buenos Aires Aeroparque (AEP) on 16Dec21, also in Aerolineas' pre-2010 color scheme.  (Phil Perry Photo)

This aircraft was first delivered to SkyEurope (Slovakia) in 2007, continuing on to Aerolineas on 28Nov09.  It is also leased from General Electric Capital Aviation Services (GECAS).  

LV-BZO (32676/1974) at Buenos Aires Aeroparque (AEP) in Aerolineas' current 2010 livery on an intermittently foggy 26Aug22.  (Phil Perry Photo) 

This aircraft was first delivered to SkyEurope (Slovakia) in 2006, continuing on to Aerolineas on 25Jun09.  It is also leased from General Electric Capital Aviation Services (GECAS).

LV-CAD (32680/2089) at Buenos Aires Aeroparque (AEP) on 31Jan23 in the current 2010 livery.  (Phil Perry Photo) 

This aircraft was first delivered to SkyEurope (Slovakia) in 2006, continuing on to Aerolineas on 25Jul09.  It is also leased from General Electric Capital Aviation Services (GECAS).

LV-BZA (32674/1952) at Buenos Aires Aeroparque (AEP) on 31Jan23 in Skyteam colors.  (Phil Perry Photo) 

This aircraft was first delivered to SkyEurope (Slovakia) in 2006, continuing on to Aerolineas on 06Jun09.  It is also leased from General Electric Capital Aviation Services (GECAS).

LV-GOO (35962/2932) at Buenos Aires Aeroparque (AEP) on 28Aug22 in Aerolineas' 1970's retro "AA" two-tone blue livery.  (Phil Perry Photo)

This aircraft was apparently factory-delivered new to Aerolineas Argentinas on 24Jun09, having orginally been slated to join AirTran but it was NTU (Not Taken Up) by the US carrier, probably due to AirTran's merger with Southwest and the likely differences with Southwest's 737-700's that would have resulted.

Viva Air shut down operations on 27Feb23 after on again-off again plans for its acquisition by Avianca for several months due to the ULCC carrier's financial problems.  As of this writing, the carrier might still be acquired by Avianca with much depending on whether the Colombian government finally approves the merger.
