## Description

Named after Enrique Mosconi, the founder of Argentina's state oil enterprise YPF, General Enrique Mosconi International Airport (IATA: CRD) is tied closely to the energy industry of Comodoro Rivadavia, the country's oil capital. Alongside passenger traffic, the airport handles cargo and supply logistics for the sector, with a large share of its economic output coming from freight services and fuel supply. As national crude output rose through the 2020s, the importance of this connected logistics grew with it. Typical traffic includes time-critical equipment and spare parts for the oilfields, carried mainly as belly freight on the dense domestic links to Buenos Aires. National Route 3 ties CRD to the regional port and the producing towns of the Chubut basin.
