#TBT: Dinar Líneas Aéreas flights in 1999

Dinar Líneas Aéreas was an Argentine airline founded in 1992 based in Salta, although its main hub ended up being Aeroparque Jorge Newbery in the city of Buenos Aires. The first scheduled flights began in December 1994 after receiving the corresponding authorization from the Argentine authorities.

The carrier, unlike the original plan that contemplated the incorporation of a Boeing 737, started operating with a McDonnell Douglas MD-82 with a German registration.

Buenos Aires – Tucumán – Salta and Buenos Aires – Tucumán – Jujuy were Dinar’s first routes. In addition to the MD services, it also had operations between Tucumán and Jujuy in F-27 aircraft leased from SASA.

Routes continued to increase, reaching Comodoro Rivadavia, Córdoba, Mar del Plata, Mendoza, Río Gallegos, Salta, San Juan and Tucumán in 1996 and 1997, with the arrival of new aircrafts (Boeing 737, DC-9, MD-82 and MD-83).

Dinar’s economic crisis began to worsen in 2001. After many ups and downs during 2002 and 2003, with several momentary closures due to debts, employee problems, voluntary retirements, aircraft unable to operate and change of ownership, Dinar finally ceased its services in March 2003, declaring bankruptcy in September of the following year.
