After the departure of the Airbus A310 equipment with which you are flying to the Colombian capital, Aerolineas Argentinas was disrupted its operation to the city some time due to lack of adequate equipment to support the operation. During the course of 2008, the company turned to roll out services to the affected cities by the departure of the A310, Caracas and Bogota. At first it restarted with Airbus A340 during the periods for the operation to Miami, while Bogotá via Lima did Boeing 737-500, with this segment continued flight to the Peruvian capital.
