Overview

• On July 24, the Orsna board annulled the national licitation for the Rosario runway after cross-impugnations delayed adjudication of bids ranging from ARS 32.6 billion to ARS 45.7 billion.
• The Province of Santa Fe will assume sole responsibility and funding for the runway reconstruction, replacing the previous federal-led process.
• The airport terminal’s 100-day closure planned for September has been postponed, ensuring uninterrupted service during the peak season.
• Temporary shutdowns earlier this month for urgent maintenance highlighted the runway’s deteriorated condition and underscored the need for swift repairs.
• The upgraded runway will meet technical standards for Airbus A350 operations and support a planned twice-weekly World2Fly service between Rosario and Madrid starting in December.
