'''Ushuaia - Malvinas Argentinas International Airport''' (in [[Spanish language|Spanish]]: '''''Aeropuerto Internacional de Ushuaia Malvinas Argentinas''''') {{Airport codes|USH|SAWH}} is a small international [[airport]] that serves the city of [[Ushuaia]] in [[Tierra del Fuego]], [[Argentina]].
'''Ushuaia – Malvinas Argentinas International Airport''' ({{langx|es|link=yes|Aeropuerto Internacional de Ushuaia Malvinas Argentinas}}, {{airport codes|USH|SAWH|p=n}}) is located {{convert|4|km|abbr=on}} south<ref name="AIP"/> of the center of [[Ushuaia]], a city on the island of [[Tierra del Fuego]] in the [[Tierra del Fuego Province (Argentina)|Tierra del Fuego Province]] of [[Argentina]].

==Overview==
{{unreferencedsect|date=June 2022}}
The airport was opened in 1995, replacing an older one, which is now in use with the [[Ushuaia Aeroclub]] {{airport codes||SAWO}}. The new airport has been used by various [[airlines]] at different periods. It is the world's southernmost [[List of international airports by country|international airport]] and is often used by passengers as a cruise-ship gateway to the [[Antarctic]].

Ushuaia International Airport can accommodate airplanes as large as the [[Boeing 747]]. [[Tower Air]] operated 747s into the airport, and [[Aerolíneas Argentinas]] operated 747-400s into the airport during events of high passenger numbers (such as entire cruise-ship passenger payloads) until retiring the 747 in February 2012. Two chartered Air France [[Concorde]]s 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 25 July 2000 (following the crash of [[Air France 4590]]). In the past, [[Condor (airline)|Condor]], [[LTU International|LTU]], [[Air Berlin]] and [[Lufthansa]] also offered charter flights from Germany, [[Austrian Airlines]] from Austria, and [[XL Airways UK]] and [[First Choice Airways]] from the United Kingdom. It also chartered flights to [[Maputo, Mozambique]].

The airport's name reflects Argentina's claims of [[Falkland Islands sovereignty dispute|sovereignty]] over the [[British Overseas Territory]] of the [[Falkland Islands]].

The airport is on a peninsula extending south into the [[Beagle Channel]], and all approaches and takeoffs are over the water.

Ushuaia – Malvinas Argentinas International Airport (Spanish: Aeropuerto Internacional de Ushuaia Malvinas Argentinas, IATA: USH, ICAO: SAWH) is located 4 km (2.5 mi) south[1] of the center of Ushuaia, a city on the island of Tierra del Fuego in the Tierra del Fuego Province of Argentina.

Overview

[edit]

The airport was opened in 1995, replacing an older one, which is now in use with the Ushuaia Aeroclub (ICAO: SAWO). The new airport has been used by various 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 can accommodate airplanes as large as the Boeing 747. Tower Air operated 747s into the airport, and Aerolíneas Argentinas operated 747-400s into the airport during events of high passenger numbers (such as entire cruise-ship passenger payloads) until retiring the 747 in February 2012. 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 25 July 2000 (following the crash of Air France 4590). In the past, Condor, LTU, Air Berlin and Lufthansa also offered charter flights from Germany, Austrian Airlines from Austria, and XL Airways UK and First Choice Airways from the United Kingdom. It also chartered flights to Maputo, Mozambique.

The airport's name reflects Argentina's claims of sovereignty over the British Overseas Territory of the Falkland Islands.

The airport is on a peninsula extending south into the Beagle Channel, and all approaches and takeoffs are over the water.
