|---|---|---|---|---|
| Domingo Faustino Sarmiento Airport (regional) | UAQ | 11 km (7 mi) | 8,071 ft | 1,958 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 8,071 ft, UAQ handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 1,958 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
