Amelia
An Argentine regional scheduled airline built around Saab SF-340 turboprops, serving a compact network across Argentina and Uruguay from major bases including Buenos Aires and Rosario.
About Amelia
Amelia was an Argentine regional scheduled airline associated with the Sol Líneas Aéreas identity and the Transatlántica business group. The operation was founded in 2005 and developed as a specialist in short domestic sectors that were not always central to the networks of larger Argentine carriers. Its airline identifiers and supplied website correspond to Sol Líneas Aéreas, whose Spanish-language branding emphasized regional connectivity within Argentina and nearby Uruguay.
Buenos Aires was the busiest departure point in the airline’s network, followed by Bahia Blanca, Comodoro Rivadavia, Trelew and Rosario. In total, the carrier served 12 destinations across two countries through 31 routes. Its network linked major cities such as Cordoba and Mendoza with regional centres including Neuquen, Santa Fe, San Luis and Trelew, while Montevideo provided the international component.
The Saab SF-340 was the aircraft type associated with the route network. This twin-engine turboprop was suited to relatively short sectors and airports where the capacity of a larger jet was unnecessary. Flights offered a single-cabin regional experience, with a smaller passenger compartment, more limited overhead storage and greater awareness of propeller noise than travellers might encounter aboard mainline jets.
The airline did not belong to Star Alliance, SkyTeam or Oneworld, and no established frequent-flyer programme is confidently associated with its operation. Travellers therefore could not rely on broad alliance benefits such as reciprocal status recognition, lounge access or through-ticketing across a global partner network. Its value instead came from direct regional links and itineraries connecting provincial cities without always requiring a lengthy detour.
A notable strength of the network was its coverage beyond Argentina’s largest trunk routes, including links among Patagonia, central Argentina and the Atlantic coast. The fair challenge was the limited scale typical of a small turboprop carrier: fewer alternative departures could make disruption recovery harder, while baggage space and cabin comfort differed from larger aircraft. Sol Líneas Aéreas ultimately ceased operations, so these routes describe its historical network rather than flights currently available for booking.
Good to know
Flying with Amelia — what to expect
Historical Airline Operation
The identifiers, website and route network correspond to Sol Líneas Aéreas, which ceased operating. Travellers should not expect these routes to be available for current booking.
Turboprop Cabin Experience
The Saab SF-340 offered a compact regional cabin with less overhead storage than a typical mainline jet. Larger cabin bags could be subject to additional handling at the aircraft.
Regional Route Focus
The network connected provincial Argentine cities as well as major centres, sometimes avoiding a connection through Buenos Aires. Frequencies on thinner regional sectors were generally more limited than on major trunk routes.
No Alliance Benefits
The carrier was not part of a global airline alliance and had no confidently documented frequent-flyer programme. Travellers could not expect alliance-wide mileage earning, status benefits or lounge access.
Allow Connection Time
Connections involving separate airlines required careful planning because through-checking and missed-connection protection could not be assumed. Extra time was particularly sensible where baggage needed to be collected and checked again.

Quick answers to the details travellers usually check first, from codes and locations to the practical basics that help with planning.
8 common questions
- The airline served exactly 12 destinations across 2 countries, operating 31 routes. This represents its historical network rather than a currently bookable schedule.
- The busiest departure hubs were Buenos Aires, Bahia Blanca, Comodoro Rivadavia, Trelew and Rosario, in that order by number of routes. These airports anchored its Argentine regional network.
- Originfacts compares live fares from hundreds of airlines and travel agencies via its partner Travelpayouts and never adds a fee. Because this airline has ceased operating, live Amelia fares may not be available.
- A reliable current carry-on allowance is not available because the airline no longer operates. Its Saab SF-340 aircraft had compact overhead storage, so baggage rules and possible aircraft-side checking would have required particular attention.
- Amelia tickets are not currently sold because the operation has ceased. Historically, fares on regional routes would have varied with demand, travel dates and the limited number of departures.
- Buenos Aires was the busiest departure hub in the network. Other important operating points included Bahia Blanca, Comodoro Rivadavia, Trelew and Rosario.
- The longest route was Comodoro Rivadavia to Neuquen, about 762 km nonstop. It formed part of the airline’s regional network within Argentina.
- The airline’s network covered Argentina and Uruguay, including Buenos Aires, Rosario, Bahia Blanca, Comodoro Rivadavia, Trelew, Cordoba, Mar Del Plata, Mendoza, Neuquen, Santa Fe, Montevideo and San Luis. These are historical routes because the operation ceased flying.
