Sol Líneas Aéreas was an Argentine regional airline based in Rosario and based at Rosario Airport .
history
Sol Líneas Aéreas was created in 2006 under a contract between the tour operator Transatlántica and the government of the province of Santa Fe to improve the connection between the larger cities of the province with Buenos Aires and Córdoba .
Although the Spanish Air Nostrum took over 45% of the shares in Sol Líneas Aéreas in September 2015, the latter ceased operations on January 15, 2016. The reasons given were the difficult economic situation in Argentina and the discontinuation of a codeshare agreement with Aerolíneas Argentinas .
