[edit] Sorting out Astral, Aerolíneas Argentinas and Cielos del Sur

I am having difficulty understanding the intertwined relationships and history of Austral, Cielos del Sur and Aerolíneas Argentinas.

If I understand the history correctly, Austral was absorbed by Aerolineas, but then sold to Cielos del Sur -- but still functioning as if it were part of Aerolíneas Argentinas? Austral and Aerolíneas Argentinas have the same website, but different IATA codes?

Is the proper name for the airline Austral-Cielos del Sur, or just Austral? Is (or was) Cielos del Sur a stand-alone airline at one point? IATA seems to be listing Cielos del Sur as having the designator code AU, which would suggest it was Austral's code originally... help! I'm really confused. Kevyn 08:23, 4 Aug 2004 (UTC)
