Just to clarify. It was not a "go-round", i.e. an aborted landing.

This was a revenue flight from Miami to Ezeiza on or about 17 November; the usual load is around 250 passengers. The captain was performing his last flight for Aerolineas Argentinas prior to retirement. Before landing at Ezeiza the aircraft made a low pass over the downtown Jorge Newberry runway. Passengers were informed prior to the low pass.

There was at least one reporter on board and the fly-by was widely commented in the Argentine press. One link below. There are references to last-flight low passes being "in keeping with tradition".
