## Description

The CRD on an air waybill stands for General Enrique Mosconi International Airport (ICAO: SAVC), named after the founder of Argentina's state oil company YPF — a fitting label for the airport of Comodoro Rivadavia, centre of the San Jorge basin oil industry. Operated by Aeropuertos Argentina and handling roughly half a million passengers a year, it ranks among Patagonia's busiest fields, with Aerolíneas Argentinas flying daily to Buenos Aires Aeroparque and Ezeiza plus Córdoba, Neuquén, Trelew and Río Gallegos. Air freight here travels almost entirely as belly cargo on those services: time-critical drilling and pump components, instrumentation and oilfield spares. No dedicated cargo terminal or scheduled freighter operation is confirmed for CRD. National Route 3 links the airport to the Caleta Córdova oil port and the basin's producing towns, which makes air-plus-road combinations workable for project cargo. Intercontinental full-freighter capacity and export customs clearance stay with Buenos Aires-Ezeiza (EZE), Neuquén (NQN) being the nearest Patagonian alternative — and shippers should note that Aeropuertos Argentina has announced a roughly USD 100 million works programme at Ezeiza, with its main runway restricted for about two weeks in November 2026.
