Aeroparque (AEP): the city airport
Aeroparque sits on the Costanera in Palermo, about 6 km from the Obelisco, and is now reachable by ordinary city bus as well as by taxi.
- Aeroparque is about 6 km in a straight line from the Obelisco, in the centre of Buenos Aires.
- It is on Avenida Costanera Rafael Obligado, beside the Rio de la Plata, in Palermo.
- Bus lines 34 and 166 link the airport with Liniers and Moron across the city.
- This is not Ezeiza. Ezeiza (EZE) is 30 km out and handles most long-haul flights.
- Check which airport your ticket says. They are an hour apart in traffic.
Where it is
- Aeroparque Jorge Newbery sits in the north-east of Buenos Aires, on Avenida Costanera Rafael Obligado, right on the bank of the Rio de la Plata in Palermo.
- It is about 6 km in a straight line from the Obelisco. That is close enough that the taxi fare is small by international standards.
The buses
- Lines 34 and 166 connect Aeroparque with Liniers and Moron, crossing the city, after the transport ministry approved bus access to the airport.
- That is a recent change. Aeroparque spent years without ordinary city bus routes calling at the terminal, which is why older advice says a taxi is the only option.
The other airport
- Ezeiza (EZE) is Buenos Aires's international airport, about 30 km out, and it is where most long-haul flights land.
- Aeroparque handles domestic flights and regional routes, particularly to Uruguay, Brazil, Chile and Paraguay.
- They are an hour apart in traffic. A self-connected itinerary that lands at one and departs from the other needs half a day, not two hours.
Practical
- The domestic network runs from here, so Aeroparque is where a trip to Patagonia, Iguazu or Mendoza starts.
- Colonia and Montevideo are also reachable by ferry from Puerto Madero, a few minutes south, which is sometimes the better way across the river.
