Obviously, they re looking for suitable destinations for their A 340īs
I don't think MEX would make too much sense, especially non-stop
Before the A340 was launched, they had "confirmed" that services to SFO would be launched the summer of 2004, which was delayed to 2005... but no news on it. YYZ/LAX were the next routes to be started up - with some interest, although no formal statement on ORD, and GRU also being on the top of the list IIRC. Not sure about Argentina though
With the launch of the A380's, they definately will need to start up some more destinations
