About Corrientes Airport

Overview

Corrientes Airport (SARC) serves the city of Corrientes in northeastern Argentina, located at coordinates -27.445500, -58.761900. As a medium-sized airport with a single runway (2/20) measuring 6,890 feet long, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for the Corrientes Province region.

Flying Conditions

The airport sits at an elevation of 202 feet mean sea level, which suggests a relatively flat terrain environment typical of the Argentine northeast. Pilots should anticipate regional climate conditions characteristic of the subtropical zone, which can include warm temperatures and potential seasonal humidity variations.

Notable Features

The concrete (CON) runway configuration indicates a robust surface suitable for multiple aircraft types. Its substantial 6,890-foot length accommodates medium-sized commercial and regional aircraft operations, providing flexibility for different aviation needs in the Corrientes area.

Approach Considerations

Runway 2/20 orientation suggests potential crosswind considerations during approaches, with the runway aligned approximately north-northeast to south-southwest. Pilots should conduct standard terrain and wind assessments during pre-flight planning, paying particular attention to local meteorological conditions that might influence landing and takeoff procedures.
