Gobernador Ramón Trejo Noel International Airport guide

Gobernador Ramón Trejo Noel International Airport is the gateway to Río Grande, the largest city in Argentina's Tierra del Fuego province. It sits on the northern, Atlantic side of the island, on National Route 3, about 5 km from the city centre. The drive into town takes 10 to 15 minutes. Ushuaia, the provincial capital, lies much farther south and has its own airport.

The airport opened on 20 October 1948. A single asphalt runway, 2,000 m long and designated 08/26, handles all traffic. The airport is also listed for military use. Aeropuertos Argentina operates it and the national regulator ORSNA oversees it.

Traffic is modest. About 142,000 passengers used the airport in 2025, up from roughly 151,000 in 2019 before the pandemic years. Scheduled service is domestic, centred on regular flights to Buenos Aires. The terminal does not run around the clock; its opening hours follow the daily flight schedule. A lift linking the check-in level and the departures level opened in 2026.
