Regional gateway serving Argentina's historic Santa Fe province.

Location

Sauce Viejo Airport (IATA: SFN, ICAO: SAAV) is the primary commercial airport serving Santa Fe, the capital of Santa Fe Province in northeastern Argentina. Located in the town of Sauce Viejo on the western bank of the Paraná River, the airport handles domestic flights connecting Santa Fe to Buenos Aires and other Argentine cities.

It plays an important logistical role for the agricultural and industrial economy of the surrounding Pampas region.
