context_page_description: Cielos del Sur S.A., operating as Austral Líneas Aéreas, more commonly known by its shortened name Austral, is a domestic airline of Argentina, the sister company of Aerolíneas Argentinas. It is the second largest domestic scheduled airline in the country, after Aerolíneas Argentinas itself. As a subsidiary of Aerolíneas Argentinas, the company shares its headquarters with that airline, which is located in the Aeroparque Jorge Newbery of Buenos Aires, the main base of operations of the company.
  Austral is currently fully integrated into Aerolíneas Argentinas; however, some differences arise, especially those relying upon the unions the staff of both companies are affiliated to, which lead to constant conflicts. In May 2020 it was announced that Austral would merge with Aerolíneas, saving an estimate of 100 millon US Dollars and leading to the disappearance of Austral as a brand.
  As of October 2013, the airline operates an all-Embraer 190 fleet.

In 2009, the company signed a contract with Embraer for the purchase of 20 Embraer 190s, in a deal worth US$600 million that was 85% financed by BNDES. Two more E-190s were ordered in April 2013; the first of these two aircraft was incorporated into the fleet in September 2013.
  The airline's fleet consists of the following aircraft (as of August 2019):
