El Calafate (Patagonia, ~52°S, near the Southern Patagonian Ice Field) has genuine winter icing conditions; de/anti-icing would in practice be delivered by the ramp handler (Intercargo) during the May-September season, but no FTE-specific de-icing programme document or supplier confirmation was found, so provider attribution is unconfirmed within this seasonal need.

Aircraft cabin cleaning and lavatory/water servicing is typically bundled into Intercargo's standard ramp-handling package nationwide; no FTE-specific cleaning contract document found, so marked unconfirmed rather than assumed.

As the sole confirmed ramp handler at FTE, Intercargo would be expected to supply/operate the ground support equipment (tugs, belt loaders, GPU, stairs) used in turnarounds; no separate GSE-specific documentation found for this station.

Intercargo is Argentina's national state cargo/ground-handling operator (name derives from "Inter-cargo") and handles freight at the airports where it holds the ramp concession; however specific FTE cargo-terminal volumes/hours/scope are not separately documented at this station, so freight-handling status here is downgraded to unconfirmed rather than assumed available.
