Rosario Airport Unveils Overhaul at Public Opening

Santa Fe financed the nearly $150 million project to lift the facility to category 3.

Overview

  • The public inauguration opens at 6 p.m. local time on Saturday, with bus line 115 reinforced for access and on-site parking restricted.
  • Completed works include a fully repaved 3,000‑meter runway, a new LED guidance system reported as unique in Argentina outside Ezeiza, and a terminal expansion of more than 10,500 m² with two jet bridges and escalators.
  • Officials say the airport becomes operational for private and alternate flights on December 29, with the first commercial service expected in the early hours of December 30.
  • Provincial authorities state they covered the cost after a previously agreed national co‑payment did not materialize.
  • The program features guided tours, acrobatic flights, parachutists, food trucks and free concerts by Sofía Gazzaniga and Vilma Palma e Vampiros, plus raffles for tickets to Madrid, Punta Cana and Brazilian destinations.
