Santa Fe and World2Fly Seal Rosario–Madrid Route With Ticket Sales Dec. 1 and Flights Starting Oct. 2026

The pact hinges on a provincially funded runway rebuild alongside a targeted incentives program.

Overview

  • Santa Fe minister Gustavo Puccini signed the agreement with World2Fly at the FIT tourism fair to establish the first nonstop link between Rosario and Madrid.
  • The service is scheduled to begin on October 1, 2026 with two weekly flights on Tuesdays and Thursdays, offering 432 seats per flight.
  • The route would make Rosario the third Argentine city with direct service to Europe after Buenos Aires and Córdoba.
  • Runway modernization funded by the province is underway, including completion of the southern head demolition over 15,645 m² and a late‑December target for upgrades such as new lighting and systems shelters.
  • Argentina’s aviation authorities authorized World2Fly to operate regular international services, the airline plans to use an Airbus A350 on the route, and the launch depends on finishing works and final certifications.
