About Villa Gesell Airport

Overview

Villa Gesell Airport serves the coastal region of Buenos Aires Province in Argentina, located near the popular beach destination of Villa Gesell. As a medium-sized airport with an elevation of 32 feet mean sea level, it provides essential aviation infrastructure for regional and local air transportation needs.

Flying Conditions

Being situated on the Argentine coast, the airport experiences maritime climate conditions characterized by variable winds and potential rapid weather changes. Pilots should anticipate potential coastal meteorological influences that can impact visibility and wind patterns, particularly during seasonal transition periods.

Notable Features

The airport features a single asphalt runway (11/29) measuring 5,220 feet in length, suitable for medium-sized aircraft operations. Its coastal location at coordinates -37.235400, -57.029200 means terrain is predominantly flat, with minimal elevation changes in the surrounding landscape.
