Aerolíneas Argentinas, still private and owned by Marsans, had flights to Barcelona, Madrid and Santiago de Compostela using its Airbus A340, Boeing 747-200 and Boeing 747-400 aircraft. Iberia had a similar schedule to the Argentine company.
This is followed by Air Europa, which continues to operate between the two countries. Moreover, it is currently the only airline that connects Córdoba with Europe.

On the other hand, focusing on the airlines that stopped operating, there are Air Madrid and Southern Winds.
Air Madrid, part of the Marsans Group, ceased operations in 2006, while Southern Winds stopped flying at the end of 2005 after an economic crisis that had been going on for several months.
