| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chacalluta International Airport (regional) | ARI | 15 km (9 mi) | 9,186 ft | 167 ft |
| Coronel FAP Carlos Ciriani Santa Rosa International Airport (regional) | TCQ | 47 km (29 mi) | 8,202 ft | 1,538 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 9,186 ft, ARI handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 167 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
