## Description

Zapala matters as a ground-logistics node rather than an air-cargo point: a railway terminus and road junction toward the Pino Hachado pass into Chile, in the centre of Neuquén province. The airport itself (APZ) is limited to general aviation and occasional regional flights, with no freight infrastructure. Air cargo for the region is handled at Neuquén (NQN), northern Patagonia's principal airport. The bi-oceanic corridor between the Atlantic and Chile's Pacific ports runs through Zapala by road and rail – an asset for surface logistics, not for air freight.
