Argentina has asked the United Kingdom to resume a regular flight to the Falkland Islands

That flight, first offered by LAN, then LATAM, Framed in the Madrid Joint Declaration of October 19, 1989, as well as in the Joint Declaration and Exchange of Notes of July 14, 1999, The Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement.

“Nearly two years after the suspension of the aforementioned regular service, and in an international context where air services have been normalized, the Government of Argentina considers that the resumption of the above regular air service is necessary and timely, which will allow to meet the needs both of the islanders as well as The inhabitants of the continental lands, especially their relatives, to visit the graves of their loved ones who fell in the conflict,” the Argentine government told the British in the memo.

Carmona told Tellam that last December the Argentine government “offered two humanitarian flights to Malvinas from the Argentine mainland with the national flag line” to transport the islanders. “They need to travel to other destinations for personal procedures or to visit their relatives, especially Chilean residents or those residing in neighboring countries,” but Great Britain proposed a charter service, which is not accepted by the national authorities.

“There are permanent mechanisms that are regular flights, especially from Argentine Airlines,” said Carmona, who explained that the request to restore service from Punta Arenas, which was suspended two years ago, was submitted last Friday.

This Argentine claim came a day after Foreign Minister Santiago Cafiero demanded before the United Nations that the United Kingdom provide accurate information about the transfer of nuclear weapons to the Malvinas Islands during the South Atlantic conflict.

“The UK still owes Argentina and the world information about how many kilotons it transferred to the South Atlantic in 1982 and what happened to that nuclear material.”confirmed Cafiero, speaking for Argentina at the Conference on Disarmament, in Geneva, Switzerland.
