## Description

No airport in Argentine Patagonia has risen faster on the strength of a single geological formation. Presidente Perón International (NQN), opened in 2001, has become the main gateway to the Vaca Muerta shale oil and gas play, with passenger numbers up roughly 25 percent in the latest year. Cargo here is largely belly freight on scheduled flights, supplemented by helicopter operators that fly urgent parts and external loads out to the drilling fields. The airport runs no all-cargo freighter service; genuine air-freight consignments with customs handling still move through Buenos Aires-Ezeiza (EZE). A direct link to Houston, the centre of the global energy industry, has been floated as the region's traffic climbs. For forwarders, NQN is a vital base for project and oilfield logistics rather than a standalone freight hub, with road and the rail connections of the Alto Valle rounding out access.
