Uruguaiana's freight story is written by its dry port: operated by Multilog and ranked among Latin America's largest, the inland customs terminal clears import and export loads bound for Argentina and Chile, often releasing cargo within 24 hours. The town's road-and-rail bridge to Paso de los Libres carries one of Mercosur's busiest trade corridors. Rubem Berta Airport itself serves mainly regional passenger flights and runs no significant air-cargo terminal, so time-critical airfreight is usually consolidated through Porto Alegre's Salgado Filho. Sitting roughly equidistant from Porto Alegre, Montevideo, Buenos Aires and Asunción, the city is built around surface trade rather than aviation. For logistics planners it is a multimodal border node, not an air hub.
