Without any information published in the international press or by the Argentine government, the German airline Lufthansa made a 13,131-kilometer flight on Tuesday, lasting 15 hours and 10 minutes, between Munich's Franz Josep Straus Airport and the NATO military base in the Malvina Islands, Monte Agradable.
The flight was carried out with an Airbus A350-900 , at an average cruising speed of 917 km per hour, as can be verified through the satellite aircraft tracking platform flightaware.com.
In January 2021, Alberto Fernández's government , through former Malvinas Secretary Daniel Filmus , sought to claim German recognition of Argentina's sovereignty over the Malvina Islands after the company requested flight permission from Argentina for the operation.
Filmus 's mischief generated a strong international impact, which was immediately shut down by the German Foreign Ministry's own spokesman, when he stated that "The activities of private companies cannot be attributed to the Federal Republic of Germany and have no international consequences . "
The fact is that on this occasion, if it weren't for the watchful eyes of Argentines deeply committed to the sovereign defense of the Malvinas Islands, this new Lufthansa flight would have gone unnoticed, given that neither the Argentine Foreign Ministry nor any national government department reported on this air operation by the German company. Therefore, the reasons for this are also unknown officially.
