Piloto Civil Norberto Fernandez International Airport RGL / SAWG

State ground-handling company; RGL is confirmed as one of Intercargo's 16 Argentine ramp-handling stations (argentina.gob.ar/intercargo/aeropuertos, directly verified) — marshalling, towing, GPU/ACU, pushback, baggage for Aerolineas Argentinas and other carriers. TRANSITION CONFIRMED: Infobae (12-Aug-2026, "El Gobierno definio la salida de Intercargo de dos aeropuertos clave y Aerolineas Argentinas puede quedarse con el servicio de rampa", directly verified) names the two exiting airports as Rio Gallegos and Comodoro Rivadavia; the exit is conditional on a replacement operator being ready, so Intercargo remains the incumbent handler pending that transition as of verification date.

Directly verified via Infobae (12-Aug-2026): following the government's decision to withdraw Intercargo from Rio Gallegos and Comodoro Rivadavia (framed as an operational-efficiency measure after Intercargo's failed privatization), Aerolineas Argentinas' handling subsidiary Aerohandling is reported "in negotiations" to take over ramp/self-handling at these airports, since none of the 15 privately licensed ground handlers Argentina has authorized since deregulation currently operate at RGL (they concentrate on higher-traffic airports like Ezeiza/Aeroparque). Explicitly not yet finalized per the source — flagged unconfirmed/in-progress, not an active service.

YPF is Argentina's dominant aviation-fuel network (Jet A-1, ASTM D-1655/DEF STAN 91-91) with the country's largest aeroplanta footprint, and is the de-facto sole into-plane supplier at almost all Argentine domestic/regional fields outside the AA2000-concessioned hubs, which strongly implies coverage at RGL. CITATION CORRECTION: the previously cited source (ypfelcruce.com) was checked directly and is a generic YPF service-station locator with no aviation content — it does not support a station-specific claim, so it has been dropped. No RGL/SAWG-specific aeroplanta citation (phone, hours, exact siting in Guer Aike) could be independently confirmed despite multiple search attempts; retained as available on strength of YPF's near-monopoly market position rather than a verified station-specific source — phone/hours should be treated as unconfirmed pending a direct citation. · 24/7 (unconfirmed)

Intercargo's official service catalogue (argentina.gob.ar/intercargo/servicios, directly verified) explicitly lists "De-icing/deshielo en escalas con nevadas en temporada invernal" (winter de-icing at stations with snowfall). Rio Gallegos is a genuine sub-Antarctic Patagonian field with cold winters (also used as a weather alternate for Ushuaia/El Calafate), so a real need exists, but no RGL-specific press confirmation of the de-icing operation was found — based on company-wide policy rather than a station-specific citation. · seasonal (austral winter)

Aircraft interior cleaning ("Limpieza de aeronaves") and organic-waste servicing from international flights are listed on Intercargo's official service catalogue (argentina.gob.ar/intercargo/servicios, directly verified) as part of its standard ramp contract; not itemized specifically for RGL beyond the company-wide description.

Intercargo's official service catalogue (argentina.gob.ar/intercargo/servicios, directly verified) lists GPU electrical power, air conditioning, pneumatic engine start, and potable-water/lavatory servicing as standard ramp equipment supplied at all 16 stations; applies to RGL as one of them.

Baggage, mail and cargo load/unload with sorting into carts/containers ("Carga y descarga de equipaje, correo y carga") is listed on Intercargo's official service catalogue (argentina.gob.ar/intercargo/servicios, directly verified) as part of its standard ramp-handling contract at all 16 stations including RGL; same pending-transition caveat as ground_handling applies.

National aviation security police with statutory jurisdiction (Ley 26.102, confirmed general knowledge) over all ANAC/Aeropuertos-Argentina-controlled civil airports, including RGL; handles passenger/hold-baggage screening and airside/perimeter security at every station in the national system, so presence at RGL is effectively certain regardless of station-level sourcing. The specific citation (aeropuertosdelmundo.com.ar RGL page) could not be independently re-located — treat that specific source as unconfirmed. No station-specific phone number found, so contact left null pending confirmation.

Global car-rental brand plausibly operating a counter in the RGL arrivals hall (RGL is a regional gateway for the El Calafate/Torres del Paine tourist route, where airport car rental is common), usable for crew/passenger ground transport. The specific source (aeropuertosdelmundo.com.ar) could not be independently re-located, and the listed phone number (though a correctly formatted Rio Gallegos-area 2966 number) could not be verified as Avis's — downgraded to unconfirmed pending a direct citation rather than dropped, since Avis is a real company and a plausible RGL operator.

Brazilian-founded car-rental brand with an established Argentine operation, plausibly operating a counter in the RGL arrivals hall alongside other rental brands on the El Calafate/Torres del Paine tourist route. The specific source (aeropuertosdelmundo.com.ar) could not be independently re-located, and the listed phone number could not be verified as Localiza's — downgraded to unconfirmed pending a direct citation rather than dropped, since Localiza is a real company and a plausible RGL operator.
