Airports at each end
Leaving Buenos Aires
Buenos Aires is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Aeroparque Jorge Newbery (AEP), 7 km (4 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 7,710 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Ezeiza International Airport - Ministro Pistarini (EZE, 27 km).
Arriving in Canberra
Canberra is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Canberra Airport (CBR), 7 km (4 mi) from the centre, whose 10,771-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Canberra Airport (regional) | CBR | 7 km (4 mi) | 10,771 ft | 1,886 ft |
One end has no runway over 10,000 ft, so at 11,735 km (7,292 mi) this pair is unlikely to be flown nonstop by a wide-body; expect a connection.
