About La Plata Airport

Overview

La Plata Airport serves the La Plata metropolitan area in Argentina, positioned at coordinates -34.972200, -57.894700. As a medium airport situated at an elevation of 72 feet above mean sea level, it provides essential aviation infrastructure for the region's transportation needs.

Flying Conditions

Located at a low elevation of 72 ft MSL, La Plata Airport experiences relatively stable atmospheric conditions typical of the Argentine coastal region. The airport's two asphalted runways (3904ft and 4682ft) suggest the area can accommodate moderate-sized aircraft with reasonable operational flexibility.

Notable Features

The airport features two parallel runways aligned at 14/32 and 2/20, both constructed with asphalt surfaces. Its geographical position near La Plata indicates potential maritime influence on local meteorological conditions, which pilots should anticipate during flight planning.

Approach Considerations

Pilots should note the airport's two runway orientations, which provide options for landing based on prevailing wind conditions. The 4682ft runway (2/20) offers slightly more landing length compared to the 3904ft runway (14/32), potentially providing additional operational advantages during approach and landing scenarios.
