Airport contact
Hub for Aerolineas Argentinas domestic services linking Chaco province (Buenos Aires, Cordoba, Salta), with JetSmart Argentina also operating the Buenos Aires-Aeroparque route; holds official international-airport and customs status but currently operates domestic-only scheduled routes. Airport was closed roughly 75 days in early-to-mid 2023 for platform and taxiway rehabilitation works, depressing that year's traffic figures.

Ground handling
Available
Aerolíneas Argentinas (Aerohandling)
Self-handled by Aerohandling, Aerolíneas Argentinas' wholly-owned ramp/baggage-handling subsidiary (founded 1997); the airline's own 'Empresas del Grupo' page states Aerohandling covers Aerolíneas Argentinas' needs at every national airport the airline serves, which includes RES (confirmed Aerolíneas Argentinas/JetSMART Boeing 737 and Embraer E190/A320 service to Aeroparque). Corroborated by Intercargo's official station list (argentina.gob.ar/intercargo/aeropuertos), which names only 16 airports it services and does not include Resistencia, so Aerolíneas Argentinas necessarily covers its own ramp/turnaround here rather than using the state handler. Separately, Aerohandling signed a January 2025 nationwide agreement to provide ramp/handling services to JetSMART at Argentine stations, but station-specific confirmation of that JetSMART arrangement at RES itself was not found.

Cargo handling
Unconfirmed
Aerolíneas Argentinas (Aerohandling)
Air freight and mail move as belly cargo on scheduled Aerolíneas Argentinas flights, routed via the Buenos Aires hub. cargo.aerolineas.com.ar's own airport-lookup tool only covers international countries (no Argentina option), so RES's absence there is not meaningful; no dedicated cargo terminal/agent was found at the airport itself, and the group's separate JetPaq parcel unit is not confirmed to operate a Resistencia location.

Aeropuertos Argentina 2000 (AA2000)
The AA2000-operated terminal houses a flight-plan filing and meteorological-briefing room ('servicios aeronáuticos de plan de vuelo y meteorología') on the lower level alongside airline counters and baggage/parcel dispatch; confirmed via the airport's own facility description (Wikipedia ES, sourced from official airport data), which also lists a dedicated AIS-room phone line separate from the general switchboard. AA2000's branded FBO/general-aviation product is confirmed active at Ezeiza, but standalone confirmation of FBO branding specifically at Resistencia was not found, so this is recorded as an airport-operated flight-ops/met desk rather than a confirmed FBO.
