Ushuaia - Malvinas Argentinas International Airport
Excerpted from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ushuaia - Malvinas Argentinas International Airport
(Spanish: Aeropuerto Internacional de Ushuaia - Malvinas Argentinas)
(IATA: USH, ICAO: SAWH) is located 4 km (2.5 miles) south of the
center of Ushuaia, a city on the island of Tierra del Fuego in the
Tierra del Fuego Province of Argentina.
This small international airport was opened in 1995,
replacing an older one.
The airport has been used by various distinct airlines at different
periods. It is the world's southernmost international airport and is
often used by passengers as a cruise-ship gateway to the Antarctic.
Ushuaia International Airport is fit to receive airplanes as large
as Boeing 747s.
Tower Air used to operate such types into the airport, and Aerolíneas
Argentinas operates 747-400s into the airport when high passenger
demand (such as entire cruise-ship passenger payloads) demands.
Two chartered Air France Concordes also visited in the past: F-BTSD
arriving from Buenos Aires and continuing to Santiago, Chile, in early
1999; the second arriving from Easter Island, Chile and continuing to
Buenos Aires prior to the cessation of most Concorde charter flights
on July 25, 2000.
Condor and LTU also offered charter flights from Germany, and First
Choice from the UK.
