Aerolíneas Argentinas (self-handled)
Sole scheduled carrier at Sauce Viejo (Embraer 190AR, ~9 weekly AEP-SFN turnarounds per Wikipedia/es.wikipedia). No independent third-party ramp/ground-handling company is documented for this small provincial field (it is a Grupo B / provincially-run airport, not part of the Aeropuertos Argentina 2000 network), so turnarounds are presumed self-handled/in-house by Aerolíneas Argentinas; unconfirmed whether it is airline station staff directly or the AR Group's ground-handling arm Intercargo.

Universal Aviation Argentina (Santa Fe/Sauce Viejo station)
Station page lists only permit coordination, catering and ground transportation as featured services (third-party arrangements are sourced through the main Buenos Aires FBO office); ramp/ground-handling supervision for GA turnarounds is implied by the FBO role but not separately itemized, so treated as on-request via local agents rather than a standalone confirmed service.
