Ezeiza International Airport
The officially titled Aeropuerto Internacional Ministro Pistarini de Ezeiza is typically referred to as the Ezeiza International Airport or simply Ezeiza, for the town in which it's located. Situated 35 kilometers (22 miles) southwest of downtown Buenos Aires, Argentina, Ezeiza International Airport serves the city and surrounding communities with international and national flights.
Ezeiza operates from three terminals: The International Terminal, the Aerolíneas Argentinas Terminal and the National Terminal.
Ezeiza International Airport is served by upwards of 50 national and international airlines. Given the size of Argentina, air travel is the best way to traverse large distances quickly between not only international destinations, but also between Argentina's key cities and regions. Be aware that a departure tax applies to international passengers leaving from Ezeiza Airport, and is currently at a rate of approximately $22 USD; the domestic departure tax is approximately $6 USD. In addition to service from Ezeiza, domestic travel and flights to Uruguay operate out of the Aeroparque Jorge Newbery which is to the north of Buenos Aires, near the Río de la Plata.
There are three terminals at the Ezeiza Airport: Terminal A, the International Terminal; Terminal B, the Argentina Airlines Terminal; and Terminal C, the National Terminal. A general information desk is located within the International Terminal and is staffed from 8:30 am to 7:30 pm every day. In addition, informative public relations personnel, available throughout the airport, are easily recognizable by their red jackets.
Aerolíneas Argentinas has its own terminal with 24 check-in counters. Passengers connecting from Aerolíneas Argentinas international flights to domestic flights out of Aeroparque Jorge Newbery Airport (located near downtown Buenos Aires) are provided with complimentary shuttle service to the Aeroparque.
