After accusations that the government of Alberto Fernández was disrupting all negotiations for the re-establishment of the flight between the archipelagos and Brazil, which was interrupted due to the pandemic, Argentina was heavily criticized by the government of the Falkland Islands.
According to the Clarín report, the islanders made an announcement that they would look for alternatives that did not involve “overflights of Argentina”. Before the whole pandemic, there were two regular routes that left the Malvinas Islands: one from Punta Arena (Chile) and the other from São Paulo (Brazil), which made stopovers in Argentina, in Río Gallegos and Córdoba. All these flights necessarily passed over Argentine lands.
In July 2020, a flight directed to the island from Santiago de Chile was re-established, however the São Paulo – Mount Pleasant route was still on hold.

On their social networks, the island's administration made a publication with a harsh statement due to the Argentine rejection of one of the overflights between Brazil and Malvinas, and even declared that he was “saddened and disappointed”.

The Falkland Islands government alleges that the Argentine government has canceled and postponed meetings on the subject and that it will still seek other options.
Mark Pollard, member of the Legislative Assembly, condemned the Argentine decision and even said that they will not discuss “a direct flight to Buenos Aires or the possibility of the Argentine national airline [das Aerolíneas Argentinas] entering the Malvinas”.
The contract with LATAM will be further extended, with the hope that all flights from São Paulo – Falklands will be able to be resumed when discussions are still possible.
