Aerolíneas Argentinas (AR, Buenos Aires Jorge Newbery) has outlined its plans to withdraw three of its four remaining A340-200s from revenue service by July of this year. With LV-ZRA (cn 085) having been withdrawn from active duty in March, LV-ZPX (cn 80) is due to go in May followed by LV-ZPJ (cn 74) in July leaving LV-ZPO (cn 63) as the only remaining aircraft of its type in the Argentine national carrier's fleet.

State-backed Aerolineas will continue, however, to operate six A340-300s and four A330-200s on regional and long-haul routes.
