Well all - to kill time till the game starts..lets Play....

Who Am I ?

Your Hints are:

Founded in the 1950's

"1950 | December 7 | By National Executive Power decree No. 26099, Aerolíneas Argentinas is created"

Within 10-yrs Voted the Best Airline Worldwide.

"The Inter-American Press news society appoints Aerolíneas Argentinas as the best commercial air company in the world, for its efficient organization and for the quality of its services"

Took a number of Beoing 707 AC in the 1960's

"1966 | November 25 | A Boeing 707 carries out the first ever non-stop flight between Buenos Aires and Madrid, in 11 hours and 31 minutes, establishing a world speed record"

By the early 1980's was covering over 20 Countries

Self Explained.......

We was one of the 1st Trans-Polar flights in Operation

"1980 | June 7th | The first trans-Polar flight by a commercial airline. It was carried out by an Aerolíneas Argentinas Jumbo 747 plane. Leaving Buenos Aires, with a stop at Rio Gallegos, flies over the South Pole and reaches Auckland (New Zealand). The trip ends in Hong Kong (China)"

I have even carried the Pope.

1982 | June 12 | Pope John Paul II returns from Buenos Aires to Rome with an Aerolíneas Argentinas Boeing 747, specially appointed for the Pontiff.

1987 | April 12 | Second papal flight with Aerolíneas Argentinas. Once again the Pope flies back to Rome from Buenos Aires in a Boeing 747"


In the year 2000's I am celebrating my 50th anniversary

"2000 | December 7 | The 50th anniversary of Aerolíneas Argentinas takes place."

I am still flying and coverage is Worldwide.
