Teniente Luis Candelaria International Airport guide

Teniente Luis Candelaria International Airport, also called San Carlos de Bariloche Airport, serves the Patagonian lake district in Río Negro Province. It carries the ICAO code SAZS and sits at 846 metres above sea level on a site of about 1,810 hectares. Aeropuertos Argentina 2000 operates it.

The airport handled about 2.4 million passengers in 2024, up from 1.9 million in 2022. Traffic peaks in the southern winter ski season and the summer holidays, when seasonal flights from Brazil and Chile join the year-round services from Buenos Aires. A single asphalt runway, 11/29, is about 2,350 metres long.

The passenger terminal covers about 12,000 square metres and has four simultaneous boarding positions. A planned expansion would raise that number to six and add a jet bridge for a second simultaneous international flight. Aerolíneas Argentinas, JetSMART and Flybondi carry most domestic traffic, while LADE links the city with other Patagonian towns.
