## 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 (IATA: PMY, ICAO: SAVY), five kilometres north-west of town, remains a modest regional field operated by Aeropuertos Argentina. Aerolíneas Argentinas and Flybondi link it with Buenos Aires-Aeroparque, with a pronounced seasonal peak during the whale-watching months on the Península Valdés. There is no dedicated cargo handling, no freight terminal and no bonded warehouse; consignments travel at best as belly freight on the Aeroparque services. Trelew Airport (REL), some 65 kilometres to the south, offers more frequencies and is usually preferred for time-critical goods. International air freight is routed through Buenos Aires-Ezeiza (EZE), while heavy lift, aluminium slabs and fishery products move through the Almirante Storni seaport.
