Airport contact
Argentina's newest airport (opened 2012), served solely by Aerolineas Argentinas on the domestic trunk route to Buenos Aires-Aeroparque; functions as the air gateway for the Termas de Rio Hondo thermal-spa resort region and sees sharp seasonal traffic spikes tied to the Argentina MotoGP round at the nearby Autodromo.

Aerolíneas Argentinas / Austral (self-handled)
Sole scheduled carrier at RHD (Embraer 190, ~2x weekly to Aeroparque/AEP). The airport does not appear on Intercargo's handling network, and Argentine aviation trade press (Sir Chandler, multiple 2020-2026 pieces on third-party rampa authorisations) repeatedly names Termas de Río Hondo among the small AA2000 stations left off both Intercargo's territory and the 2025 Swissport/American Jet rampa-authorisation lists; consistent with Aerolíneas Argentinas self-handling its own turnarounds here, as it does at other small interior stations outside Intercargo's footprint. Exact in-house arrangement unconfirmed.
