This paper aims to analyze the implementation of gender equality policy actions within Argentine public companies, based on a case study of the Argentine Air Navigation Company (EANA) during the period 2020-2023. A case study approach based on primary and secondary sources is proposed, including interviews with key informants and company and sector documents and reports. The starting point is the consideration that gender inequalities and the actions that seek to address them in public companies share some aspects, but may also differ in others, from what happens in private companies in general, particularly in heavily masculinized industries. Some relevant characteristics of the EANA case and the gender actions undertaken are identified, as well as the obstacles and challenges to their implementation, within the framework of what is highlighted as an objective of mainstreaming the gender perspective in the organization. Finally, it is noted that the public enterprise environment may present some favorable aspects for the development of gender actions, without ignoring the existence of persistent inequalities, as expressed in the case of EANA.
