Aerolíneas Argentinas, still private and owned by Marsans, had flights to Barcelona, Madrid and Santiago de Compostela using its Airbus A340, Boeing 747-200 and Boeing 747-400 aircraft. Iberia had a similar schedule to the Argentine company.
This is followed by Air Europa, which continues to operate between the two countries. Moreover, it is currently the only airline that connects Córdoba with Europe.
