El Palomar Airport (IATA: EPA, ICAO: SADP) is a commercial and military airport in El Palomar, Argentina. It is the home base for the 1st Air Brigade (Spanish: Primera Brigada Aérea) of the Argentine Air Force, which is mainly a transportation unit. It is located 18 km (11 mi) west of Buenos Aires, near the El Palomar station of the San Martín railway line. It was created in 1912 to accommodate the Army Aviation School, which was the base for the future Argentine Air Force.

Commercial flights in and out of El Palomar were stopped in 2020 amid the COVID-19 pandemic. As of 2022, commercial flight facilities at El Palomar were reportedly being dismantled and moved to Ezeiza International Airport, limiting hopes that commercial flights would return to El Palomar.^{[citation needed]}

Facilities

The airport resides at an elevation of 59 feet (18 m) above mean sea level and it has one runway designated 16/34 which measures 6,923 by 164 feet (2,110 m × 50 m).

It is located 2 km from Acceso Oeste Highway and 200 metres (660 ft) from San Martín Line's El Palomar station.

In February 2017, it was announced that Flybondi, a new low-cost carrier, would use the airport in 2018 as a base to fly to multiple destinations within Argentina.^[3] Another low cost airline, JetSmart, has since arrived at the airport, and began flying international routes.

Airlines and destinations

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the airport was closed to the public, with airlines forced to move to Ezeiza and Aeroparque airports. Currently, no scheduled flights operate at this airport.^{[citation needed]}

In popular culture

The airport stood in for Santiago International Airport in the 2015 film, Colonia.
