Aerolíneas Argentinas (self-handled)
Aerolíneas Argentinas is the dominant carrier at PSS (documented as ~93% of the airport's passenger traffic routed to Buenos Aires, plus Córdoba service; B737/E190AR equipment); standard practice for the flag carrier's domestic mainline network is to keep line-qualified technical/AOG support at each scheduled station in-house, but no Posadas-specific documentation of a local maintenance base was located, so this is recorded as unconfirmed self-handling rather than a third-party MRO.

Ground support equipment

Cargo handling
Unconfirmed
Intercargo S.A.U.
Airport cargo mix is documented (yerba mate, coffee, tea and spices ~34%, paper/cardboard ~32%, agricultural manufactures ~27%, per the airport's own socioeconomic data), moving as ramp/belly cargo through the same ground-handling operation; no separate cargo-terminal operator is documented at PSS, so this is attributed to the ramp handler on an unconfirmed basis.
