Pablo Ceriani vs. Mauricio Macri: hard crossing by Aerolineas Argentinas

the president of Aerolineas Argentinas, Pablo Ceriani, crossed to Mauricio Macri for his statements in the driver’s program Luis Majul in The Nation +. During his participation in the program, Macri stated that the state company should be privatized due to the deficit it represents for the state coffers. According to Macri, the company costs “700 million per year to sustain it.” “The loss that @mauriciomacri is talking about corresponds to his last year in office. In 2021, the Airlines deficit was reduced by 35% compared to 2019 and year after year we will continue to improve its performance,” Ceriani assured.

Despite the 2021 balance presented in June of this year, there was an improvement in terms of management, since although Airlines showed losses of 438 million dollars, they were 212 million less than the 650 million dollars that the State had to inject into 2019 so that it can operate.

“We don’t have to pay for a bus that flies from the state. We don’t put a dollar more. If they can not live with what they sell tickets, it will disappear, “he went on to say Macri. “Evidently Mauricio Macri is very used to flying in a private plane and thinks that this is what the airline industry is all about in our country. Perhaps some governor of his space can explain what it means in economic terms for his provinces ”, Ceriani retorted in his response.

In any case, Ceriani clarified that he is no stranger to the problem of the deficit, but he emphasized that the management of Aerolineas’s resources must be improved “with growth and expansion, without forgetting its social role.” “Shrinking it, privatizing it, despising it is not an option for us,” he stated. And he emphasized the importance of the flag line for regional economies.

Another point that Ceriani revoked from Macri was his saying that Kirchnerism had “thrown Latam”. “Another lie from Macri. Latam left the country after losing 300 million dollars in 2018 and 2019. Andes, Norwegian and Avianca they also had millionaire losses and stopped operating in those years. Still, the companies that continue to fly today were at a loss during his management ”, Ceriani retorted.

It is not the first time that Ceriani has responded to Macri on the same subject. In March 2021, the president of Aerolineas Argentinas crossed the leader of the PRO for the same reason.
