San Luis's regional gateway is served solely by Aerolineas Argentinas domestic flights to Buenos Aires-Aeroparque, supporting the provincial capital's business and tourism links; a single 2,950 m asphalt runway (01/19) handles regional jet/turboprop equipment (Boeing 737 and Embraer 190) with no international/customs operations.

Aerolíneas Argentinas
Sole scheduled carrier at LUQ (12 weekly B737-700/E190 flights to Aeroparque). Confirmed via argentina.gob.ar/intercargo/aeropuertos that Intercargo's official 16-airport handling list (AEP, BRC, COR, CPC, CRD, EZE, FTE, IGR, JUJ, MDZ, NQN, RGL, ROS, SLA, TUC, USH) excludes San Luis. Aerolíneas' in-house Aerohandling division is certified to self-perform ramp/handling at airports where it operates, so self-handling here is inferred but not directly documented for LUQ specifically.

Swissport Argentina
Trade press reported in Oct 2025 that Swissport was authorized by the Transport Secretariat (cited as Disposición 36/2025) to provide ground/ramp handling at 37 Argentine airports including San Luis, as part of the 2025 deregulation that ended Intercargo's monopoly. Could not independently re-verify the disposition text or the LUQ listing via Boletín Oficial or the cited trade-press articles (search access was unavailable), so both the authorization and any active/operating status at this specific station remain unconfirmed rather than disproven.

Aircraft fuel

YPF Aviación
YPF's aviation-fuel unit (Jet A-1 and Avgas 100LL, ATA-103 spec) operates an aeroplanta network described in YPF materials as covering dozens of sites across Argentina's provinces; YPF is the near-universal fuel supplier at Argentine domestic airports lacking a dedicated third-party FBO fuel operator, which is consistent with San Luis. Could not re-confirm the specific "52 sites / 23 provinces" figures or an explicit San Luis mention on ypf.com (aviation pages returned errors/redirects), so those exact numbers are unconfirmed even though YPF fuel service at LUQ itself is highly likely. Supplier and into-plane agent are the same (YPF).

Aviation security
Available
Policía de Seguridad Aeroportuaria (PSA)
Federal aviation-security force with a legal mandate (Ley de Seguridad Aeroportuaria 26.102) covering all Argentine airports with regular commercial service, organized into Unidades Operacionales de Seguridad Aeroportuaria Preventiva (UOSP) grouped into five regions per argentina.gob.ar/psa. San Luis ("Brigadier Mayor") has scheduled Aerolíneas Argentinas service and so falls under this mandate; the specific claimed unit name "Unidad Regional de Seguridad Aeroportuaria II del Centro" could not be confirmed on the PSA site and should be treated as unconfirmed, though PSA's general presence/mandate at LUQ is not in doubt.

Hertz
Confirmed via hertz.com.ar/alquiler-de-autos-en-argentina/san-luis-aeropuerto: branch located at "Aeropuerto Brigadier Mayor César Raúl Ojeda", daily hours 09:00-19:00 (corrected from the draft's 07:00-23:00, which does not match the live listing), reservations phone ••• / ••• (corrected from the draft's •••, which was not found on Hertz's own branch page). Available for crew and passenger ground transport. · 09:00-19:00

Avis
Confirmed via avis.com.ar/oficinas/luq: "San Luis - Brigadier Mayor César Raúl Ojeda (LUQ)" is listed as an active Avis office under the Cuyo region. The page did not surface the specific phone number or 08:00-17:00 hours for independent re-verification, so treat those two fields as unconfirmed while the branch's existence at LUQ is confirmed; available for crew and passenger ground transport. · 08:00-17:00

Alamo Rent A Car
Alamo Argentina is a real operator (alamoargentina.com.ar) with a national sucursales network and centralized reservations (•••), but a dedicated San Luis Airport branch page could not be located (branch listing page did not enumerate a LUQ/San Luis location, unlike Hertz and Avis which both confirmed LUQ branches directly). Downgraded from "available" to "unconfirmed" pending direct confirmation of a LUQ counter; not dropped outright because Alamo is a genuine multi-station operator in Argentina and a San Luis presence is plausible.

Universal Aviation Argentina
Confirmed via universalaviation.aero/locations/argentina: San Luis (ICAO SAOU, i.e. LUQ) is listed among Universal Aviation's ~36 Argentine stations, alongside two full FBO hubs at Buenos Aires (SAEZ/SABE). LUQ is one of the supervisory/trip-support locations rather than a staffed FBO counter, so it covers permit coordination, ground transportation and third-party arrangement management for GA/charter flights. The specific named local coordinator (Pablo Pedernera) and street address (Av. Fuerza Aérea 3095) could not be, so treat those two details as unconfirmed while the station's existence is confirmed.
