Argentina is one of only two countries left in the world that has an airline run by its air force (Iran being the other country). The name of this airline is Lade. Apparently they have a terrible reputation for reliability. This was evident when we rang to book accomodation in the next place we stayed (Comodoro Rivadavia) and the person asked if we could call them after we checked onto our flight. We have flown on them twice now and have found them to be on time, safe and quite reliable.

We would definitely recommend flying with Lade. They only fly in Patagonia and have an ever changing schedule. We found them to be only a little bit more expensive than the bus, especially from El Calafate to Ushuaia.
