SOL S.A. Líneas Aéreas[3] is an Argentine airline founded in 2005,[4] and operating since August 2006 pursuant to an agreement between Transatlántica Group and the government of Santa Fe Province, who sought to improve air connections between the cities of Córdoba and Santa Fe. It has its headquarters in Rosario.[5]

The original plan was to link the Santa Fe Province with the rest of the country by air without connecting at Buenos Aires, as few airlines fly to the Santa Fe province, given its close location to the cities of Buenos Aires and Córdoba. Furthermore, since most Argentine airlines fly larger aircraft such as the Boeing 737, McDonnell Douglas MD-80/MD-90 or Airbus A320, the plan was to fly smaller equipment, offering regular daily connections between the Santa Fe region and other Argentine cities.
