Emirates will launch flights to Buenos Aires from January 3, 2012.

The President of Argentina, Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, was among more than 800 guests from local industries, the travel trade and the government, who gathered at the dinner event at Centro Costa Salguero hosted by Emirates.

Guests also had the opportunity to experience elements of Emirates' flagship A380 aircraft, with a replica First Class Private Suite on display.

"Emirates' first destination in Argentina is a significant step as the airline looks to broaden its reach across America. In joining Emirates' network of more than 100 cities worldwide, Buenos Aires will enjoy a new bridge to the world; one that spans from key trading partners in the Far East to important markets in the Gulf," said Thierry Antinori, Executive Vice President -Passenger Sales Worldwide.
