Airports at each end
Leaving Montevideo
Montevideo is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Carrasco General Cesáreo L. Berisso International Airport (MVD), 17 km (11 mi) from the centre, whose 10,499-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are Capitan Corbeta CA Curbelo International Airport (PDP, 100 km).
Arriving in Dunedin
Dunedin is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Dunedin International Airport (DUD), 24 km (15 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 6,234 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dunedin International Airport (regional) | DUD | 24 km (15 mi) | 6,234 ft | 4 ft |
One end has no runway over 10,000 ft, so at 9,886 km (6,143 mi) this pair is unlikely to be flown nonstop by a wide-body; expect a connection.
