Aeroparque Jorge Newbery (AEP) is Argentina's busiest airport by passenger numbers, handling around 17-19 million passengers a year. Named after pioneering Argentine aviator Jorge Newbery, it sits right on the Río de la Plata waterfront in the Palermo area, only about 3 km from central Buenos Aires. Its single 2,100-metre runway limits it to narrow and medium-body aircraft, so it focuses on domestic and regional flights while long-haul international traffic uses the larger Ezeiza International Airport (EZE) instead.
Aerolíneas Argentinas and its regional arm Austral use AEP as a hub, alongside low-cost carriers Flybondi and JetSmart, and LATAM Argentina. Between them they connect Buenos Aires to cities across Argentina, plus regional international routes to nearby countries such as Uruguay, Brazil, Chile and Paraguay.
Most AEP traffic is domestic, feeding Argentina's provincial capitals, with a smaller number of short regional international hops. For fares and schedules on specific routes, check Traveloka's dedicated flight pages, which cover route pricing in more depth than this overview.
AEP operates a single terminal, open 24 hours, with separate areas for arrivals and departures covering both domestic and regional international flights.
Thanks to its central location, several city bus (colectivo) lines stop right outside the terminal, including a direct route into central Buenos Aires. Taxis and remises (pre-booked private cars, common in Buenos Aires) are also available outside the terminal, with the drive into the city centre usually taking 15-20 minutes outside peak hours.
The terminal offers dining, duty-free shopping, currency exchange and Wi-Fi, in line with a busy domestic hub airport.
