Rosario International Airport (in Spanish "Aeropuerto Internacional Rosario Islas Malvinas") (IATA: ROS, ICAO: SAAR) is an airport located 13 km west-northwest from the center of Rosario, province of Santa Fe, Argentina, at 32°55′S 60°47′W. It services the Greater Rosario area, a transportation node of major importance for Argentina and Mercosur. There are domestic flights within Argentina from Rosario to Buenos Aires, Córdoba, Santa Fé, and the Mar del Plata region as well as international services to Santiago de Chile, Porto Alegre, Brazil, and Punta del Este, Uruguay.

The airport is located at an altitude of 82 feet (25 metres) and its longest runway measures 9843 feet (3 kilometres).

In the first years of the 21st century the Rosario Airport has progressively lost importance, even after it was thoroughly updated and expanded in 2003–2004. In 2005 there were only 1,807 flights, about 75% less than in 2000. Among the reasons cited are low ticket prices compared to the increased cost of fuel, the lack of a national air transportation policy, and the existence of a cheaper and fast alternative (the Rosario-Buenos Aires Highway).
