## Description

1,330 metres of asphalt, one runway and no commercial airline: Gualeguaychú Airport (GHU/SAAG) in the Argentine province of Entre Ríos opened in 1975 and has lost its scheduled services for want of investment. What remains is meaningful but small — medical flights and organ-transplant missions coordinated by the provincial body CUCAIER, plus sporting and general aviation. There is no cargo terminal, no freighter traffic and no customs post on site. Air freight from this farming region is handled in Buenos Aires, principally at Ezeiza International (EZE), some 180 to 200 road kilometres southwest via National Route 14 and the Paraná river bridges. Overland trade matters far more here than air cargo: the Libertador General San Martín bridge to Fray Bentos carries a substantial share of Argentina–Uruguay traffic. The city is best known for hosting Argentina's largest carnival, which draws charter and private flights in summer.
