Rosario Inaugurates $150 Million Overhaul of Islas Malvinas International Airport

The province financed the project on its own after a lapsed national commitment.

El Aeropuerto Internacional de Rosario fue remodelado
La aerolínea Arajet lanzó vuelos desde el Aeropuerto de Fisherton, en Rosario, a la ciudad de Punta Cana. 
El gobernador Maximiliano Pullaro encabezó el acto inaugural del Aeropuerto Internacional Islas Malvinas ante unas 25.000 personas, en una jornada que combinó anuncios oficiales y actividades abiertas al público.
El aeropuerto ya luce la fachada del nuevo edificio que se destinará a arribos y embarques de vuelos internacionales.

Overview

  • The airport resumes private operations on December 29, with the first commercial flight arriving in the early hours of December 30.
  • Upgrades include a fully repaved 3,000-meter runway, a new LED runway lighting system otherwise only in use at Ezeiza, and an expanded 10,500 m² international terminal with two boarding bridges.
  • International connectivity will rise to about 50 weekly services to seven foreign cities after reopening, nearly tripling the 2024 schedule.
  • New direct routes are confirmed: Arajet to Punta Cana from June 2026 and World2Fly to Madrid from October 2026, with tickets already on sale.
  • An open-to-the-public inauguration drew roughly 25,000 people with aerial displays, paratroopers, live music and raffles for international tickets.
