## Description

On the banks of the Paraná River in north-east Argentina, Corrientes Airport — formally Doctor Fernando Piragine Niveyro — serves the capital of Corrientes Province. Unusually, it is run by the provincial government rather than the national concession holder, with scheduled flights from Aerolíneas Argentinas and Flybondi. The surrounding region produces yerba mate, rice and citrus, while the vast Iberá wetlands draw nature tourism. The airport offers no significant cargo capability, so air freight is consolidated through Buenos Aires and its Ezeiza (EZE) gateway.
