## Description

At Puerto Madryn the heavy lifting is done by sea rather than air: the deep-water port serves the Aluar aluminium smelter and the fishing industry, while El Tehuelche Airport (PMY) handles only limited passenger and seasonal tourism traffic for whale-watching on the Península Valdés. There is effectively no air-cargo handling here, and the region's scheduled flights concentrate on Trelew Airport (REL) about 65 km away. Urgent shipments move as belly freight via Trelew and onward to Buenos Aires-Ezeiza (EZE), the national cargo gateway. For forwarders, PMY is at most a local feeder, with bulk and project cargo routed through the seaport instead.
