There's about to be a massive spike in Argentine LCC traffic. That market is going to get nasty.
One could assume that AV will make it a *A partner airline as they have with all of their other subsidiaries, so if that's the case it's great to have more *A options in southern South America since right now it's pretty much only the 5th freedom routes. I agree, I'd rather do my transit in IAH than GRU, but to each their own.
