Gateway to Argentine Tierra del Fuego's southern frontier.
Location
Rio Grande, Argentina
Gobernador Ramón Trejo Noel International Airport serves Rio Grande, the northernmost city on Tierra del Fuego island in Argentina's southernmost province. It plays a vital role in connecting this remote industrial and military hub to the rest of Argentina, given the challenging overland routes in the region.
The airport handles both domestic and limited international traffic, serving passengers traveling to and from the island for business, tourism, and logistics. It complements Ushuaia's Malvinas Argentinas Airport as one of two main air gateways to Argentine Tierra del Fuego.
Named after a former governor of Tierra del Fuego, the airport supports the local economy, which is centered on electronics manufacturing, fishing, and oil production. It operates under the oversight of Argentine civil aviation authorities.
Terminals
