## Description

One airline, one scheduled destination: Brigadier Mayor César Raúl Ojeda Airport (IATA: LUQ, ICAO: SAOU), four kilometres north-west of the Argentine provincial capital San Luis, is served solely by Aerolíneas Argentinas with roughly seven weekly flights to Buenos Aires Aeroparque (AEP), some routed via an intermediate stop. There is no commercial cargo facility, no freighter traffic and no permanent air-cargo customs post, so shipments move at most as belly cargo. The region at the foot of the sierras was shaped by Argentina's 1980s industrial-promotion schemes and hosts plastics, chemical, electrical and food processing plants whose output leaves almost entirely by truck. The key artery is National Route 7, the Buenos Aires–Mendoza–Chile corridor that reaches Chilean Pacific ports over the Cristo Redentor pass. International air freight is consolidated and cleared at Córdoba (COR) or Buenos Aires Ezeiza (EZE), with Mendoza (MDZ) a workable additional option for traffic heading towards the Andes.
