About Minister Pistarini International Airport

Overview

Minister Pistarini International Airport serves as the primary international gateway for Buenos Aires, Argentina, located in Ezeiza, approximately 35 kilometers southwest of the city center. As a large airport with significant elevation at 67 ft MSL, it handles major international and intercontinental passenger and cargo traffic for the Buenos Aires metropolitan area.

Flying Conditions

Buenos Aires experiences variable weather conditions typical of a temperate climate, with potential for significant wind shifts across the two substantial runways. The airport's two asphalt runways (11/29 at 10,827 ft and 17/35 at 10,187 ft) provide excellent operational flexibility for aircraft handling diverse meteorological scenarios.

Notable Features

The airport's geographic positioning at -34.822200, -58.535800 places it in a relatively flat region surrounding Buenos Aires, which minimizes significant terrain challenges for approach and departure. With two long runways exceeding 10,000 feet, the airport can accommodate wide-body aircraft and provide substantial operational resilience during varying weather conditions.

Approach Considerations

Runway 11/29 and 17/35 offer complementary operational capabilities, allowing pilots to select the most appropriate surface based on prevailing wind conditions. The substantial runway lengths provide ample landing and takeoff margins for heavy commercial aircraft, with options to adjust approach strategies based on current meteorological parameters.

Data Sources & Accuracy: Airport information sourced from OurAirports.com, a collaborative database of worldwide airport data. Weather data from official aviation weather services including NOAA Aviation Weather Center and international METAR/TAF providers.
