American Falcon [1] was an Argentine airline based in Buenos Aires. The airline began operations in 1996 and shut down in 2005.[1] It operated largely domestic services, but also some international routes to South American cities.[2]
The airline was formed in 1995 and initially offered only charter services, though it gradually introduced scheduled flights.[3]
In 2003, the airline embarked on a major expansion after the closure of Líneas Aéreas Privadas Argentinas and Dinar Líneas Aéreas, investing US$4 million in new routes and aircraft.[4]
On 1 March 2004, due to rising fuel costs, the airline announced it was ending all operations within a week.[4] It completely shut down a year later.[1]
The airline operated a maximum of five aircraft after its 2003 expansion - three Boeing 737-200s and two Fokker F28s.[3] [4] Shortly before it ended operations, it returned one of the Fokkers to the lessor.[4]
