Rosario Airport breaks centralism in cargo: exports without Ezeiza now official
Rosario Airport has officially begun handling exports directly, bypassing Ezeiza, marking a shift in Argentina’s air cargo logistics.
Rosario International Airport (AIR) has been officially authorized as an export point under the Exporta Simple regime, enabling companies in Argentina’s interior to ship products abroad without having to route them through Ezeiza, according to a resolution by the General Customs Directorate.
This measure positions AIR as the first inland airport in the country to handle direct exports under this simplified regime, which had previously been restricted to Buenos Aires. The move is the result of coordinated efforts between the provincial government and national authorities.
Santa Fe’s Minister of Productive Development, Gustavo Puccini, highlighted the economic and logistical impact of the initiative. “With a focus on productive development and reducing logistics costs in the interior, we’ve secured a measure that will boost exports from Rosario,” he stated.
Operations will be managed by Panamerican Cargo, the first logistics operator in the interior approved under this system. The company will oversee product shipments through a streamlined process designed to cut paperwork, reduce time, and lower costs for entrepreneurs and small to mid-sized enterprises (SMEs).
“This authorization offers a window of opportunity for the entire region and the province to enhance logistics,” said Puccini, adding that there’s a need to actively reach out to companies to inform them about this new export option.
Since its creation in 2017, Exporta Simple had been centralized in Buenos Aires, creating higher costs and added complexity for exporters in the provinces. With this new authorization, Santa Fe breaks away from that centralist model.
Transport and Logistics Secretary Mónica Alvarado noted that the move will enhance the competitiveness of the regional production network. She also announced that Sauce Viejo Airport will soon be integrated into the scheme, further strengthening Santa Fe’s logistics capabilities.
The initiative is supported by infrastructure upgrades, such as the expansion of Jorge Newbery Avenue, which provincial authorities say will improve airport access and enhance overall operational capacity.
