Sáenz Opens Modern Terminal at Salta Airport

Boosting airport capacity attracts companies, investment and new routes while setting the stage for further provincial works.

Overview

  • Governor Gustavo Sáenz inaugurated the new terminal at Aeropuerto Internacional Martín Miguel de Güemes and framed it as a project for all Salta residents.
  • Aeropuertos Argentina says the expansion cost $110 million and will raise operations capacity by about 65 percent once staged work is complete.
  • First-stage upgrades include a new main hall, 32 check-in counters, expanded domestic boarding areas and added commercial services such as shops and cafés.
  • At the ceremony Sáenz reviewed other ongoing public works, highlighted the recent graduation of roughly 300 police cadets, and downplayed a recent dispute with deputy Roque Cornejo.
  • The governor announced that more project details will follow soon and specifically named the long-awaited Cuesta del Obispo intervention as an upcoming focus, a move that could improve road access and economic ties across the province.
