About Termas de Río Hondo international Airport

Overview

Termas de Río Hondo International Airport serves the Santiago del Estero Province in northern Argentina, providing critical regional aviation infrastructure. Located at coordinates -27.496600, -64.935950, the airport supports medium-sized aircraft operations with its substantial 8,232-foot asphalt runway. The airport is strategically positioned to serve both commercial and potentially military aviation needs in this part of Argentina.

Flying Conditions

Situated at an elevation of 935 feet mean sea level, Termas de Río Hondo experiences typical subtropical climate conditions characteristic of northern Argentina. Pilots should anticipate potential thermal variations and potentially challenging humidity levels that can impact aircraft performance, especially during summer months. The single runway orientation (01/19) suggests wind conditions may vary significantly throughout the year.

Notable Features

The airport's single runway (01/19) provides a robust 8,232-foot asphalt surface, suitable for medium-sized aircraft operations. Its geographic location in the Río Hondo region suggests potential terrain variations that pilots should carefully assess during approach and departure phases. The moderate elevation of 935 feet MSL indicates relatively stable atmospheric conditions compared to high-altitude airport environments.

Approach Considerations

Given the runway's 01/19 orientation, pilots should carefully analyze current wind conditions to determine optimal approach and landing strategies. The substantial runway length of 8,232 feet provides significant margin for safe landings and takeoffs across various aircraft types. Standard instrument approach procedures should be thoroughly reviewed, with particular attention to local terrain and potential wind shear conditions specific to the Río Hondo region.

Data Sources & Accuracy: Airport information sourced from OurAirports.com, a collaborative database of worldwide airport data. Weather data from official aviation weather services including NOAA Aviation Weather Center and international METAR/TAF providers. Information is updated regularly but pilots should always verify current conditions and NOTAMs through official channels before flight operations.
