Aeroparque is closing for two days. Here’s what you need to know

Buenos Aires City airport, Aeroparque Jorge Newbery, will be closed for two days from Tuesday to Thursday next week. The reason for the closure is maintenance work on the runways. All flights to and from the city will now operate out of Ezeiza International Airport during this time period. The airport operator, Aeropuertos Argentina, chose this timeframe because it has the least amount of flights compared to the rest of the week.

Ezeiza usually handles around 530 flights during these days, but with the closure of Aeroparque, it will see an 80% increase, reaching 940 flights. This closure affects travelers with scheduled flights during those days, requiring them to make arrangements to reach Ezeiza. The distance between Buenos Aires City and Ezeiza is approximately 35 kilometers, with travel time ranging from 45 minutes to 1.5 hours depending on traffic.

This maintenance work is part of an ongoing infrastructure improvement project that Aeroparque has been undergoing for several years. The first stage of the project, which cost US$85 million, was completed in June 2026. It included enlarging the “Plataforma Norte” area, expanding the domestic-flight register zone, the check-in center hall, and the international arrivals terminal.

The second stage, beginning now and continuing throughout the rest of the year, aims to improve the domestic boarding area, incorporate technological changes to reduce check-in and registration times, and construct a new VIP lounge. Additional shopping space and dining options will also be added, with Bis Café and Outback Steakhouse being the highlights of the new additions.
