Services

Available On request / PPR Seasonal / ageing Unconfirmed / not listed
Ground handling Available
Intercargo S.A.U.
Argentina's state ground-handling company (current legal name Intercargo S.A.U. per its own listing on argentina.gob.ar/transporte/intercargo -- draft's 'S.A.C.I.' is an outdated suffix) opened a new station at Aeropuerto Chapelco effective 3 Jul 2023, relocating dedicated equipment (one passenger stairway, two belt loaders, four baggage/cargo carts, one light tractor); confirmed via Intercargo's own LinkedIn announcement and Aviacion en Argentina / Neuquen Al Instante press coverage (27 Jun and 14 Jul 2023). Those primary sources tie the new station specifically to JetSMART Argentina's newly launched scheduled service; Aerolineas Argentinas/Austral also serve Chapelco per the airport's own site, but no source found confirms Intercargo (rather than another handler) covers those flights, so that carrier scope is unconfirmed rather than established.

De-icing Unconfirmed
Intercargo S.A.U.
Not documented as a distinct service line at this specific station -- no source specific to Chapelco confirms de-icing is actually offered here (local winter-prep coverage, e.g. Rio Negro Jun 2025, discusses runway/taxiway repaving, not de-icing). Downgraded from the draft's 'seasonal' status: Intercargo's own published national service menu (argentina.gob.ar and its LinkedIn posts) does list 'deshielo y antihielo en escalas con nevadas durante la temporada invernal' as standard company-wide practice, and Chapelco is a snow-affected Andean ski-gateway station where this would plausibly apply, but that is a general-policy inference, not a station-specific confirmation. · austral winter (Jun-Sep)
