At March 1970, LADE had 150 employees and its fleet consisted of 14 DC-3s, two DC-4s, three DC-6s and six de Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otters.[4] The carrier started regular flights between Comodoro Rivadavia and the Falkland Islands in 1972.[5][6] The Comodoro Rivadavia–Port Stanley run was initially operated with F27 equipment. The limited length of the runway at Port Stanley Airport resulted in weight regulations to the aircraft operating the route, which restricted the number of carried passengers to a maximum of 22 per flight, along with a reduced volume of mail and freight.[7] The service was discontinued in 1982,[5] following the Falklands War.[8][9]

At Script error: No such module "Date time".Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters"., the airline had a fleet of 11 F27s (five F27-600s and six F27-400Ms) five Fokker F28-1000Cs and seven Twin Otters.[6] Ten years later, at Script error: No such module "Date time".Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters"., the fleet had grown to include five Fokker F28-1000Cs, 13 F27s (six F27-400Ms, two F27-500s and five F27-600s), one Lockheed L-100-30 and seven Twin Otters.[10] At March 2004,Template:Dated maintenance category (articles)Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters". LADE served a comprehensive domestic network that included scheduled services to Bahía Blanca, Buenos Aires, Comodoro Rivadavia, El Calafate, El Palomar, Gobernador Gregores, Lago Argentino, Mar del Plata, Miramar, Neuquén, Paraná, Puerto Madryn, Río Gallegos, Río Grande, San Antonio Oeste, San Carlos de Bariloche, San Martín de los Andes, Trelew, Ushuaia and Viedma. The fleet at this time consisted of Twin Otters, Fokker F27s, Fokker F28s and one Lockheed L-100-30 Hercules.[11] From December 2008 four Saab 340s replaced four Fokker F27s at a cost of Template:US$ million.[12][13]
