Brigadier General Antonio Parodi International Airport EQS / SAVE

Aerolíneas Argentinas is EQS's sole scheduled carrier (flights to Buenos Aires-Aeroparque and seasonal/weekly Córdoba service, confirmed via Wikipedia 'Esquel Airport'). Ramp and baggage handling for the airline nationwide is performed by Aerohandling, the Aerolíneas Argentinas Group's dedicated ground-handling subsidiary founded in 1997, which per the airline's own 'Empresas del grupo' page (aerolineas.com.ar) 'cubre las necesidades de Aerolíneas Argentinas en todos los aeropuertos nacionales donde opera la compañía' (covers the airline's needs at every domestic airport it serves) - this covers EQS by that stated nationwide policy, though no EQS-specific press mention of Aerohandling was found, hence not upgraded beyond a policy-level confirmation. Separately re-verified that Intercargo, the state ramp-handling company used at Argentina's larger/AA2000-concession airports, does not list EQS among its own network (confirmed directly via Intercargo's official interactive 'Dónde Operamos' airport map at intercargo.com.ar, which shows roughly 21 stations - AEP, BRC, CNQ, COR, CPC, CRD, EZE, FTE, IGR, JUJ, MDQ, MDZ, NQN, PMY, RGL, ROS, SFN, SLA, TUC, UAQ, USH - and no EQS marker), consistent with Aerohandling/in-house handling rather than a third-party operator at this station.

YPF operates an aeroplanta (fuel depot) at Esquel airport (ICAO SAVE / IATA EQS): confirmed directly on the flight-planning portal yovuelo.com.ar's aeroplantas listing (sponsored by YPF Aviación), which includes 'SAVE - EQS - ESQUEL' among YPF Aviación's network stations. Separately, a historical Boletín Oficial government-procurement notice (via dateas.com) names REPSOL YPF S.A. - YPF's corporate name prior to its 2012 renationalization/rebrand - as the awarded supplier of aerocombustibles (aviation fuel) for a group of Argentine airports including Esquel; this is older, historical corroboration rather than a current contract document. Into-plane agent/handling arrangement at EQS not separately confirmed.

JetPaq, the Aerolíneas Argentinas Group's domestic air-cargo and courier subsidiary, carries freight/parcels in the belly hold of the group's scheduled flights and lists a walk-in service point directly in Esquel on its official 'Centros de Atención' page (jetpaq.com.ar): 'Esquel EQS - Alvear 1800 (C.P. 9200) - Tel. (•••' - an EQS-specific confirmation rather than a group-level claim transferred from another station. The airline's separate international-facing 'Aerolineas Cargo' brand (cargo.aerolineas.com.ar) covers the same belly-hold freight network but its online 'Aeropuertos' lookup only lists international countries/agents, not domestic stations, so it could not independently confirm EQS. EQS has no dedicated freight terminal; cargo is handled in-house via these group companies, not a third-party ground handler.

PSA's Unidad Operacional de Seguridad Preventiva de Esquel (UOSP Esquel / 'UOSPESQ') is the designated aviation-security unit at this specific airport. Resolución 1015/2012 (Ministerio de Seguridad, published on argentina.gob.ar) states that 'la Unidad Operacional de Seguridad Preventiva de Esquel' has jurisdiction 'en el Aeropuerto Brigadier General Antonio Parodi' - an EQS-name-specific confirmation, not a regional group-level claim. Contact details were independently re-verified on PSA's official 'Unidad Regional de Seguridad Aeroportuaria V de la Patagonia' page on argentina.gob.ar, which lists 'UOSP Esquel - ••• - (••• / (•••' verbatim, an exact match. Also referenced in a 2026 Boletín Oficial administrative notice (IF-•••-APN-UOSPESQ#PSA), in a Chubut provincial-police/PSA cooperation agreement covering explosives-contingency coordination at the Trelew, Puerto Madryn and Esquel air terminals, and in PSA's 2019 '13° aniversario' announcement listing 'Unidad Operacional Esquel' among its interior-country units.
