Aeroparque Jorge Newbery

Aeroparque is inside the city, in the Palermo neighborhood on the Río de la Plata waterfront, north of downtown.

Always check the airport code on your ticket before you travel.

The two airports are about 38 km apart, around 40 minutes by the toll highway in light traffic.
