Fuerza aérea sociedad anónima

Aug 31 2006 Not Rated 1h 24m
Documentary

The documentary portrays a behind-the-scenes look at the poor state of Argentina's civil aviation, and puts the blame on the Argentine Air Force. The Air Force has been in control of air traffic operations since the military takeover of General Juan Carlos Onganía in 1966. The producer/director, Enrique Piñeyro, claims Argentina and Nigeria are the only countries whose air force controls and regulates the airline industry. The film is heavily based on the Austral Líneas Aéreas Flight 2553 plane crash. Enrique Piñeyro takes his camera, secretly, into the control tower of the Ministro Pistarini International Airport also-known-as Ezeiza, the international airport at Buenos Aires.

Plot

Between 1997 and 1999 more people died in LAPA (private Argentine airlines) plane crashes than in the preceding 27 years. Enrique PiÃf±eyro shows behind-the-scenes footage of the disastrous state of civil aviation in Argentina.
