With little more than a month after its reception, the new presidential Boeing 757 of Argentina will make its first diplomatic mission in Brazil via Brasília.
According to information supplied by Agência Brasil, President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva will receive the President of Argentina, Alberto Fernández, on an official visit tomorrow (26/06). Sources close to the matter said that the 757-200 is scheduled to take off at around 8:00 am (local time) via Aeroparque Jorge Newbery (AEP), with landing at Brasilia Airport (BSB) at around 11 am.
It is the second time that Argentina's new presidential plane touches Brazilian soil, with a brief age on June 04th at Recife airport (REC) after a diplomatic mission in China. Interestingly, this aircraft was caught doing an incredible low as soon as it arrived in Buenos Aires during the delivery flight, in the video below:

With the VVIP configuration, the new ARG 01 can carry up to 39 engers. The plane was purchased by the Argentine government for US $22 million financed over a 10-year period.
Manufactured in 2000, the presidential Boeing 757 began its operations by the Spanish Iberia. In 2017, this Boeing 757 was transferred to Validus Aviation until it was purchased by the Argentine government this year.
