Suboficial Ay Santiago Germano Airport guide

San Rafael Airport serves the south of Mendoza Province, in the wine and outdoor-tourism region around the Atuel river. It sits on the northwest edge of the city, about 8 km by road from the centre, and has been open since 1997. The runway is 11/29, an asphalt strip of 2,355 m.

Scheduled service is limited. Aerolíneas Argentinas flies Embraer 190 jets to Buenos Aires Aeroparque, six times a week and seven in high season, with onward connections to other domestic and international cities. The airport handled about 51,100 passengers in 2025.

Aeropuertos Argentina builds and runs the terminal under a two-phase expansion. The first phase opened on 31 August 2026 at a cost of US$15 million, giving the terminal about 1,200 m2 of covered passenger area and room for two Boeing 737 aircraft to be handled at once, one arriving and one departing. A second phase, bringing the project to US$20 million, is planned for 2027. Flights kept operating throughout the works.
