Runway Upgrades at Buenos Aires Ezeiza to Restrict Regional Air Cargo Capacity
A three-week infrastructure project at Argentina's premier air hub will constrain international freight capacity between late October and mid-November.
International air cargo flows between Argentina and North America are facing temporary constraints as infrastructure work gets underway at Buenos Aires' Ezeiza Airport. Freight forwarders and regional shippers are bracing for three weeks of diminished international transport capacity.
The operational bottlenecks will span from 25 October through 11 November. During this window, Argentina's primary air gateway will experience substantial capacity curbs linked to ongoing engineering interventions across the airfield.
The disruption is caused by maintenance and upgrade operations on the secondary runway, designated 17-35, specifically where it intersects with the facility's chief runway. The airfield modernization is part of an overarching $100 million infrastructure project.
As a consequence of the construction at the intersection, the usable length of the main runway will be reduced from its standard 3,300 meters. The temporary shortening will limit operational capabilities for international freighters and widebody aircraft until the maintenance works conclude.
