Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Mar del Plata is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Ástor Piazzola International Airport (MDQ), 8 km (5 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 7,218 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ástor Piazzola International Airport (regional) | MDQ | 8 km (5 mi) | 7,218 ft | 72 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 7,218 ft, MDQ handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 72 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
