Ezeiza International Airport runway modernization

Overview

Ezeiza International Airport in Argentina is undergoing a $110 million modernization project managed by Aeropuertos Argentina. The works involve rehabilitating the secondary runway and its intersection with the main runway, leading to significant operational restrictions from October 25 to November 11, 2026.

As of October 25, the airport has entered this 18-day period of restricted operations. The terminal is operating with a single runway measuring only 1,850 meters, a significant reduction from the standard 3,300 meters. This limitation impacts wide-body aircraft, such as the Boeing 777, 787, and Airbus A330, which may be unable to take off with full fuel loads required for long-haul destinations.

Consequently, 14 international airlines—including American Airlines, Air Canada, Air France, British Airways, Delta, Emirates, KLM, Lufthansa, and United Airlines—have suspended operations or rescheduled flights, primarily impacting routes to the United States, Europe, and Asia.

Other carriers are adapting to the restrictions by implementing technical stops for refueling. Aerolíneas Argentinas will stop in Rio de Janeiro for flights to Madrid and Rome, while Iberia and Air Europa are utilizing Montevideo for refueling stops.
