#TBT: Aerolíneas INI flights between Buenos Aires and Miami in 1962

After the deregulation of the Argentine skies in 1957, Aerolineas INI was one of the first airlines to inaugurate its services in the country. During the first years, the carrier was entirely dedicated to cargo transport, giving way to passenger operations in the early 1960s.

For this purpose, Aerolíneas INI added to its fleet a Douglas DC-6 leased from American Airlines, which was configured for 76 passengers.

Aerolíneas INI was recognized for offering more economic fares in relation to its competitors. Later on, this ended up being one of the consequences resulting in the closure of operations.

The company’s services to Miami were made with stops in Córdoba, Antofagasta, Lima and Panama City in both directions. In 1962, Aerolineas INI had three flights per week between Buenos Aires and the U.S. city on the mentioned aircraft.

Aerolineas INI deepened its economic crisis in 1963, definitively ceasing flights on September the 23rd of that year. Weeks later, the aircrafts returned to their owners, thus ending the short history of the company owned by José Ini and collaborators.
