Following his promise to cut the cost of governance, Argentina’s President, Javier Milei, has begun flying commercial airlines as part of his move to dig the nation out of its worst economic crisis.

He was welcomed by fellow passengers who boarded the commercial flight earlier today in a viral video.

Mr Milei, who is gradually setting an example of good leadership, had, shortly after taking the mantle of power, declared the sales of two airplanes belonging to the state-run oil company YPF (Yacimientos Petrolíferos Fiscales) to save $3 billion per year.

Earlier this month, Mr Milei slashed car purchases for government officials by 50 per cent and also announced a reduction in government drivers and vehicles.

He took over the country struggling with runaway inflation and has begun to do everything he could to tackle the economic crisis.
