The airline was established in 1929 when the Argentine government recognized the necessity of the people and in terms of its geographic size for fast transportation links between the larger cities and the countryside. Thus, they established an airline company not only to carry passengers but also to facilitate mail. Posadas and Mendoza were the first two destinations of the airline and among the company’s first pilot were Antoine de Saint-Exupery and Jean Mermoz.

The flights and number of cities served by the airline tripled when the two additional airlines began its flight in 1930. However, in 1945 the two airlines LASO and LANE merged and became LADE. It was just a timely moved because the commercial aviation was set to start again due to the final stage of World War II.
