Airports at each end
Leaving Melbourne
Melbourne is served by 4 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Melbourne Airport (MEL), 19 km (12 mi) from the centre, whose 11,998-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are Melbourne Avalon International Airport (AVV, 50 km), Melbourne Essendon Airport (MEB, 11 km), Melbourne Moorabbin Airport (MBW, 22 km).
Arriving in Santa Fe
Santa Fe is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Sauce Viejo Airport (SFN), 12 km (7 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 7,628 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are General Urquiza Airport (PRA, 27 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sauce Viejo Airport (regional) | SFN | 12 km (7 mi) | 7,628 ft | 55 ft |
| General Urquiza Airport (regional) | PRA | 27 km (17 mi) | 6,890 ft | 242 ft |
One end has no runway over 10,000 ft, so at 11,845 km (7,360 mi) this pair is unlikely to be flown nonstop by a wide-body; expect a connection.
